DRY CASE WATERPROOF BACKPACK Dry Case has created the perfect waterproof backpack for active people who want to bring moisture-sensitive belongings along with them during their adventures. The Dry Case backpack is 100% waterproof and one of a kind, because of its handy purge valve. This clever valve allows you to inflate or compress the backpack. This means you can create buoyancy, or reduce its size to save space. You can even use it as a draining tool if you wanted to use the backpack as a shower or cooler. The backpack’s fully waterproof main compartment is capable of holding 30 liters, it has an internal zippered waterproof pocket to store smaller items, a front mesh pocket so you can keep wet items out of the dry area, a side water bottle holder, bungee cords to secure a variety of items, and lots of padding on the shoulder straps and back support for a comfortable hold.
