The hightide is a highly water-resistant, spacious duffel bag built to keep your gear dry. Although designed for water sports, it's useful anytime you need extra protection from the elements. The main fabric is fully waterproof. We enhanced the construction with sealed seams. The bag has a large U-shaped opening which makes packing easy. The exterior of the lid has a pocket for access to important items such as keys. The interior of the lid has a mesh pocket to help you organize your things. The duffel also has a smart interior pocket so you can pack the entire bag down into itself when it is empty. You can carry the Hightide with comfortable padded carry handles or attach the shoulder strap. While extremely watertight, this duffel is not fully waterproof if completely submerged.
