• Watershed Drybags Turns to the Single Track with the McKenzie (May 13, 2019)

  Raising the (handle)bar in bikepacking, Watershed Drybags - the industry pioneer of 100% submersible drybags - switches from the river to the trails with their first ever mountain bike specific accessory, the McKenzie Handlebar Bag. Making use of Watershed’s patented ZipDry™ closure system, the McKenzie is designed to change the way you ride.

  Able to go everywhere that you do, this fully waterproof pack features a quick and easy secure mounting system, Beastie Dee lash points and weighs just 15oz - perfect for filling with vital gear. In addition, its abrasion-resistant Cordura fabric withstands whatever you throw at it - even an accidental wreck (it’s OK, we’ve all been there!) - all while keeping everything dry and worry free.

  "We think traveling by bike is appealing for all the same reasons that Multi-day raft and kayaking trips appeal to us. An opportunity to step away from the "norm" and rejuvenate," said Eric Revels, Watershed's Founder and CEO. "Bikepacking and touring puts people out in the elements where they need to trust all the gear they have on hand. The idea grew from there. A truly submersible bag to protect your most precious gear."

  The McKenzie, that can easily be transported with it’s easy-to-carry lug handle and over the top compression, also features high visibility 3M reflective tape for night rides. Plus, as a nod to the shutterbugs out there, it works in conjunction with Watershed’s Ocoee padded liner and divider sets to keep your camera and sensitive gear safe and secure on even the trickiest singletrack.

  Whether embarking on bikepacking overnighters in Umpqua, packrafting the Muddy Creek, or playing somewhere in between, the McKenzie is made to keep all your goods great in the harshest of conditions. Coming soon to drybags.com. For more information, please visit drybags.com.

• Watershed Drybag’s Animas Backpack (May 13, 2019)

  Now you can keep your gear dry and look good while you’re at it with SEAL approved technology

  If spending time outside is your thing but getting caught in a downpour and being forced to eat soggy sandwiches isn’t, Watershed Drybag’s 100% submersible Animas Backpack is for you. The brand’s most popular backpack style, the Animas offers enough room for a couple of days worth of gear, along with the convenience of removable backpack straps. Ideal for tackle boxes along with extra clothing on a fishing trip, or enough gear for two days on the river, the backpack - that comes in 5 different color options - is also the perfect size to use as your everyday bag in the city too.

  100% waterproof and fully submersible, the Animas utilizes the same military grade technology Watershed’s other bags do, including their patented ZipDry closure system and RF welded construction. The result? A no-leak backpack that can endure up to 300 feet of underwater pressure. Now that’s deep.

  Removable, padded shoulder straps allow you to load up the 40L space with essentials comfortably,  while it’s large, tapered opening and over the top compression makes it easy to get in and out in a moments notice. A durable top lug handle also comes in handy for times you’ve converted the backpack into a duffel or hull bag. For more information, please visit drybags.com.
