OtterBox Yampa Dry Duffle Bags

Whether headed to the lake, forest or beach, OtterBox has built a reputation as a staple on every outdoor excursion. OtterBox introduces Yampa Dry Duffle, the waterproof bag that keeps gear safe from water, drops, sand and dirt. Yampa Dry Duffle bags feature ultra-low density, open-celled foam that protects bag contents during drops and impact while keeping the bag light as a feather.

Although I didn’t get a chance to try them out in the water, they had a set up of a bunch of duffles attached to each other that you could paddle down the South Platte River during the outdoor demo portion of the show.

Other features include:

  • TPU-coated nylon material is waterproof and puncture-, UV- and chemical-resistant
  • Waterproof zipper and waterproof sealed seams keep gear safe from the elements
  • A fold-over harness system easily converts the bag to either a backpack-carry style or duffle-carry
  • Multiple tie-down points and Duraflex clips allow it to be secured to truck or boat
  • Backpack straps and back panel feature neoprene pads with open-celled foam for comfortable carrying with added airflow to keep your back cool
  • Two interior mesh storage pockets keep gear organized
  • Reflective exterior pads make the duffle visible in the dark

The duffles come in three sizes, the Yampa 35 ($249.99-$299.99), the 70 ($299.99-$349.99), and 105 ($349.99-$399.99), three colors and will be available in Summer 2018.
