The Key Features of a Deck Bag
LTS ( Luggage Tensioning System)
Our patent pending LTS system, like our Aqua Seal Zip, has become a key feature for attaching the Deck Bag to the board. The quick and easy tensioning system allows you to carry the board with a fully loaded Deck Bag leaving your hands free as you hit the water.
Multi Functionality
It’s not just what goes on on the inside of the bag that was important. The outer of the deck bag needed just as much consideration in the design. One of the main concerns with any water proof bag is storing the smaller items. To combat this we added a mesh zipped pocket to the lid which is ideal for grab and go items such as sun cream. We also added side pockets for Drinks bottles, wave webbing for attaching items and an elastic attachment for other quick grab and go items like a board lock or paddle cap.
For those who want extra flexibility when out on the water we designed the Dry Pouch to easily attach on to the Deck Bag. This modular system provides a complete customised set up for the paddle boarder. The small size is perfect for using as a small waterproof purse. Meaning paddlers could quickly detach the Dry Pouch and use it to store loose change for ice cream and coffee stops.
Compact and Portable
The other key ingredient for the Deck bag was for it to hold it’s shape whilst in use and pack up small if paddlers wanted to travel light. The half dome insert holds the shape of the bag whilst on the board, protecting valuable items such as cameras and camping equipment. Once the half dome insert has been removed the bag can pack down small, ideal if you’re taking your paddle board abroad and when space is at a premium.
The ample size of 22litres was the perfect middle ground between big enough to store bulky items like a jacket or sleeping bag. Whilst suitable for attaching the included carry strap to throw over your shoulder and use as hand luggage or an additional day to day bag. Whilst the primary function for the Deck Bag will always be Paddle Boarding, we wanted users to be able to use the bag beyond the paddle board if they chose and is also finding a home on Kayaks, boats and ribs.
