Aquapac Triple Launch

The waterproof equipment specialist, Aquapac, has three new outdoor products in the pipeline and due out this August with two in particular looking good for walkers.

The first is the Wet and Dry Backpack, a 25-litre daysac with a 3-roll sealing system that apparently makes the bag 'drench proof' along with a large internal pocket that can be used to keep wet and dry items separate from each other.

The pack also has a reinforced back system, quick access key pocket and a reflective logo plus as well as being 100 per-cent waterproof, it's also floatable. Price will be £65.


The other interesting new kid on the block is the waterproof Kaituna Map Case which is, erm, waterproof, sized at a big 300mm x 300mm - one foot square - and weighs just 74 grammes. The case will cost £15 and claims to give excellent clarity, even in low light conditions.


Finally, there's also a waterproof Pannier Backpack that will attch to the rack of a bike, but converts in seconds to a 23-litre backpack complete with reflective trim, compression straps and welded seams. Price will be £95.
