Understanding Waterproof Standards

Not all "waterproof" claims are created equal. At Paddle Pro, we adhere to rigorous IP (Ingress Protection) ratings to ensure your gear is truly safe. Our products are tested against international standards, giving you clarity and confidence in their performance.

IPX Ratings Demystified:

The IPX rating system indicates how resistant an enclosure is to water. The higher the number, the greater the protection. Many of our bags boast an IPX7 or IPX8 rating, meaning they can withstand full submersion for extended periods, far beyond simple splashes or light rain.

  • IPX4: Splash Resistant - Protects against splashing water from any direction.
  • IPX6: Powerful Water Jets - Withstands powerful jets of water (e.g., heavy rain, boat wash).
  • IPX7: Submersible (1m for 30min) - Protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
  • IPX8: Submersible (Extended) - Protected against continuous immersion in water under conditions specified by the manufacturer (usually deeper/longer than IPX7).

We combine third-party testing with real-world scenarios to ensure every bag meets our promises of complete protection.

Expert Packing Strategies for Kayakers

Mastering the art of packing your waterproof bag can make all the difference on the water. Optimize space, protect fragile items, and ensure quick access to essentials with these proven techniques from seasoned paddlers.

Electronics Protection

Always double-bag electronics, even within a waterproof bag. Use smaller, hermetically sealed pouches for phones, cameras, and batteries. Store them near the top for easy access.

Clothing & Personal Items

Roll clothes tightly to save space and minimize wrinkles. Place items you'll need first on top. For multi-day trips, separate outfits into smaller, color-coded dry sacks inside your main bag.

Food & Cooking Gear

Use hard containers for crushable items. Store items that could leak in sealed bags. Keep cooking fuel and utensils separate from food.

Emergency Kit Organization

Your emergency kit should be in a clearly marked, easily accessible smaller dry bag. Include first-aid, navigation tools, and communication devices. Consider a bright color for visibility.

Post-Adventure Care:

  • Clean Gently: After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse your bag with fresh water. Use a mild soap and soft brush for stubborn dirt.
  • Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the bag is completely dry inside and out before storing. Store with the top open to allow air circulation and prevent mildew.
  • Inspect Seals: Regularly check zippers, roll-top closures, and seams for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Address minor issues promptly.
  • Proper Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy items on top that could deform the bag.
