I didn't give these guys much notice and passed their book several times until one time I stopped and took a closer look and was glad I did. I am posting this mini review not for new products but hopefully to let you know about some interesting products that may be handy for use near the water.
Watershed is a company that specializes in drybags. They have a recreational line and a military line. The recreational is stuff in civvy colours and geared towards the kayaking and other similar activities.The military line is where they have some really cool stuff. They have the usual styled bags in various sizes but in hunter/mil/LEO colors as well as some very purpose built designs for firearms, rucksacks, and other purposes.
They are extremely durable and very well made. The bags are air tight. They inflated the display models with air to show their shape, but also to show off their seal. Anyway, the ones I wanted to show the most are the rifle bags. They make 6 different Rifle bags in various sizes. The one they had on display was the model called the "Torpedo Shotgun Bag Milspec" It was a straigtforward shaped gun bag with a shoulder strap and a carry handle.
Most models also have an inflation valve that you blow into to inflate them with air, that makes them buoyant so they float and you can't lost them in the water.
Pretty awesome bags I must say, something excellent for the hunter to put his gun in if you have to cross a stream or river, or get somewhere in a boat first.
The bags price is around 250$ USD to 500$ or so depending on the model.
This are designed as shells though, the idea is that they carry the rifle and some type of padded carrying case. You could put the rifle in on its own but you would risk sharp edges wearing down the material.
Their website only shows 3 models so I am guessing the others are new for 2015 including this case.
I recommend checking out their website at www. drybags.com
Something to give you an idea of the other stuff
This is the long gun, designed to fit a dragbag and its contents
