6: Sneaking Snacks Along

If you’re planning on being out on the water for more than an hour or so, chances are you’re going to get peckish. Fortunately, the Red Original waterproof pouch is surprisingly spacious and has more than enough room to fit most, if not all, of the above AND an energy bar or two. It won’t be enough to keep you going all day (we have a waterproof cooler bag for that) but it should help you to keep on going for longer, which means fewer breaks and more time spent paddling, sailing, rowing, or whatever it is you kids are doing these days.

As you can see, the Red Original waterproof pouch is an incredibly versatile piece of kit, providing both convenience and peace of mind. Though spacious, the waterproof pouch is designed to carry only a few small items and our 22-litre waterproof deck bag might be the better option for those prefer to bring a little more along with them. If, on the other hand, you don’t think you’ll want to carry enough to warrant a dedicated storage pouch, the Red Original Airbelt PFD has a water-resistant pocket that’s perfect for keeping keys and money safe.
