Watershed, an American company established in 1995, owes its inception to a founder's frustration with conventional "dry bags" that failed to keep gear dry during outdoor adventures. Determined to create superior solutions, the founder embarked on a mission todesign the world's best dry bags, ensuring they were fully airtight and submersible.
Watershed has since earned its place at the forefront of the industry, renowned for offering top-tier waterproof and dry storage solutions to safeguard equipment from water and moisture during a wide range of outdoor activities.
01
Watertight to 300ft of Submersion
It is similar to a heavy-duty freezer bags zipper. It lock shut, keeping out moisture with an airtight, watertight seal, even when submerged and under pressure.
02
RF welded seems – no stitching
Radio frequency welding uses a combination of pressure and radio waves to speed up molecules which re-align to bond multiple layers of fabric in to a single piece of material.
03
UV and chemical resistant
5X THE ABBRASION RESISTANCE OF A NORMAL PVC BAG
We use polyurethane applied in layers to 420 denier
pack cloth. UV stable and more environmentally
friendly than PVC.
Incept was founded 32 years ago when John, Alastair and Philip Booth built their first inflatable Stowaway yacht tenders and sport boats. John had been developing raft designs throughout the 1980’s and the commercial success of the business was assured in 1990 when INCEPT came out with the first W46S Whitewater raft, which in two years became the default standard commercial raft on New Zealand rivers when rafting was in its heyday. Incept also specialise in durable dry-bags and come in all shapes and sizes.
A FOUNDERS STORY OF ADVENTURE.
BY RHYS JENSEN-JONES
I have been a paddlesports enthusiast for most of my life, travelling around the globe chasing rivers and adventure. My top priority in my twenties was to kayak, travel and have as much fun as possible. While living on the banks of the Potomac River, I came across Watershed Drybags and was astonished at how water tight they were, I almost couldn't believe it. No one likes a wet sleeping bag or soggy sandwiches. I felt like every adventurer deserved to have access to the best products on the market, and that's how I started Jensen Dry, for customers to be able to find the top waterproof solutions in one place.
