A dry bag is a great way to transport your valuables when you are in or around water.  Dry bags come in many shapes and sizes but essentially all work in the same way: you put the items in them then roll or fold over the opening of the bag at least three or four times then shut the clasps and presto the back is sealed and your items are protected from the water!

As well as keeping the items dry the bag also floats as it is air-tight so if you accidentally drop it overboard or knock it from your canoe or kayak it will be easy to retrieve your dry bag and its contents.  As they float the dry bag could also be attached to your canoe or yourself and dragged behind you in the water.

Not only are dry bags great for triathletes they also have many other practical uses and can be of benefit to many other people. These include:

• Surfers: keep your gear dry whilst in the water.
• Plumbers and builders: keep your tools safe in a waterproof dry tube bag whilst on site.
• Fishermen: dry bags are great for storing any items you need for your fishing drip that you don’t want to get wet.
• Anyone who goes out in the rain or in wet conditions will benefit from the use of a dry bag.

Due to the array of shapes and sizes the list of items that can be put in a dry bag is endless.  Some items include:

• Mobile phones, cameras and mp3 players
• Wallets, money and cash cards
• Clothes and towels: use a large dry bag to transport your clothes if you are travelling by boat or kayak
