Slovenian lifestyle is active and filled with adventure! While most shops are closed on Sundays, people use this as a way to escape from the city and explore the outdoors. Within two hours, you can be at the top of a mountain and down by the Adriatic sea in Slovenia. To help fuel your adventurous spirit, we recommend doing it the Slovenian way with a nice backpack, ready to get with all you need.
And while you are out there adventuring, why not support local. Drytide Gear, a Slovenian brand, makes waterproof backpacks, duffels, and dry bags. We got to use DryTide Gear on our kayak trip to Soča Valley. Let’s explore what makes DryTide Gear the ultimate choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
Introducing DryTide Waterproof Bags and Backpacks
DryTide waterproof backpacks are a game-changer for adventurers. They seamlessly blend the functionality, versatility, and comfort of traditional backpacks with the waterproof capabilities of dry bags. But what sets them apart from the rest?
Waterproof Beyond Compare:
Every DryTide backpack, duffle, and dry bag is crafted from 100% waterproof materials using a construction technique that guarantees impermeability. Whether you’re caught in a sudden rain shower, enduring heavy torrential rainstorms, or engaging in water sports, your gear will remain safe and dry.
Built for Comfort:
These waterproof backpacks are not just about protection; they are also feature-packed technical backpacks. Designed with ergonomics in mind, they offer padded shoulder straps, hip belts, sternum straps, and a padded back to ensure you can comfortably carry your gear, no matter how challenging the terrain.
Efficient Organization:
With a spacious main compartment and a plethora of extra pockets, hooks, and straps, DryTide Gear allows you to keep your belongings well-organized. Say goodbye to rummaging through your bag for small essentials like keys, sunscreen, and snacks; DryTide’s numerous pockets ensure that everything is within easy reach.
Waterseal Technology
The secret behind DryTide’s unmatched waterproof performance lies in its Waterseal Technology. Unlike conventional bags with stitched seams, DryTide products are constructed using high-frequency welded seams. This means no holes, no leaks, and complete protection against dust, sand, and water. Plus, these bags can even float on water if they happen to go overboard, giving you peace of mind during water-based adventures.
The Story of DryTide
Ever wondered how DryTide was born? It all began with a harrowing experience in the middle of the Indian Ocean when the founders found themselves adrift on a surfboard, watching their boat sink. This unforgettable incident inspired the creation of DryTide Gear.
“I don’t mind the rain. For the average person it simply means bad weather and nothing much to do but sit at home watching Netflix. But for me and other surfers around here it means surf, waves, smiles, and good times. It’s like every time I go into the sea, I came out a calmer and more relaxed person. Water is the source of life and source of endless joy. Unlike surfers, there are some things, however, that work better when they are not wet. Like my phone, my laptop, my camera, my wallet, my dry clothes, documents, money, sandwiches. Even dogs smells better when they are dry. With all the rain I have encountered, I’ve had some problems keeping my stuff dry in the past.”
Klemen, founder of DryTide
There is no need to wait for the rain to stop; just walk into the storm and continue to live your passion – no matter the weather. To learn more about this incredible journey, check out the full DryTide story on their website.
Sustainability at the Core
DryTide is not just about adventure; it’s also about sustainability and environmental responsibility. Here’s how DryTide is making a positive impact:
Packaging: DryTide has eliminated cardboard packaging boxes in favor of compact mailer bags. This reduces material usage, package volume, and weight, ultimately lowering the carbon footprint of their packages.
Recycling: The brand incorporates recycled materials into its everyday operations, from using recycled paper in the office to using ocean plastic for Better Packaging shipping bags.
Future Goals: DryTide is committed to continuously improving its sustainability efforts. Their next goal is to transition to recycled materials in backpack and bag production, contributing to a greener future.
DryTide Gear is not just a brand; it’s a commitment to your adventures and the planet. With their waterproof bags and backpacks, you can explore the great outdoors without worrying about the safety of your gear. Plus, DryTide’s dedication to sustainability ensures that your adventures leave a positive mark on the environment. So, gear up, embrace the elements, and let DryTide be your trusted companion on every adventure.
