Watershed Animas Backpack

Product detailed description

Watershed Animas - key features

BackpackAnimas combines the practicality of expedition luggage with uncompromising waterproofness. Its main advantage is the patented closureZipDry®which works on the principle of a massive frost-proof seal. This system is both 100% airtight and watertight, which means that the backpack also functions as a flotation device or airbag when closed. Unlike other waterproof backpacks, the Animas is designed for maximum variability - if you're not currently carrying it on your back, you can simply detach the straps for a smooth boat bag that doesn't get caught anywhere and is easy to store in tight spaces on a boat or car.

Design, materials and IP68 resistance

The backpack is made of highly durable nylon fabric with polyurethane coating, which is bonded by high-frequency welding technology. This construction guarantees extreme resistance to abrasion, tearing and exposure to UV rays and chemicals. Thanks to the certificationIP68 (IPX8) animas is designed for conditions where even the best raincoat fails - it can handle rough rapids, flooded decks and falls into the water. An ergonomically designed top handle and multiple attachment points allow the pack to be securely locked to a vessel or expedition vehicle carrier.
