We know the saying.......champagne taste on a beer budget. Well that's me. I'm no rich guy but I enjoy using finely crafted and well engineered gear. I understand the satisfaction of getting value for money but there is also the pleasure of using articles that are perfectly suited for their duties. They are not only a means to an end but are a pleasure to use in and of themselves.

I have found the watershed line of duffels to be of that stature. A bit pricey to be sure but I became sick and tired of digging through cylindrical dry bags. These bags are watertight to 10 meters and easy to open and close. I really like the whole duffel concept where everything is laid open and bare before me. Easy, no hassle. Plus if sealed properly they are odor free. Another layer of bruin protection. The Ococee makes a perfect size for stashing under the seat......use the D rings to biner it to the outside of your pack on portages or if you have compression straps you can strap it to the top of a pack.
