Keeping gear and valuables secured during outdoor adventures is paramount. Keeping them dry is essential. Nothing ruins a trip like a dead cell phone or soggy snacks. Yeti announces the new and improved Sidekick Dry 3L Gear Case. A minimalist solution to keeping valuables such as a phone, wallet, and keys secure and accessible. A stand-alone dry bag meant to integrate into the Yeti ecosystem of bags and coolers. Yeti’s Sidekick Dry case is prepared for the next fishing adventure or late afternoon storm.
The Yeti Sidekick Dry case is constructed from Yeti’s Dryhide shell, similar to a raft or their Panga Waterproof backpacks. The bag measures 11.3” wide by 3.3” deep and 7.1” tall. To keep items organized, it houses an interior mesh pocket to carry valuables like a license or keys. This is layered with a waterproof seal made up of hook-and-loop material and magnets. The RF-welded seams keep a tight seal and shed water away from the bag. They come in three color waves black, navy, and charcoal. Limited edition colors are available in cosmic lilac, and camp green. The Sidekick is designed to be a standalone bag or a supplement to other backpacks or coolers. The backside features a belt loop and a set of hook-and-loop straps to attach to a MOLLE system. It is compatible with Yeti’s Sidekick Strap and Yeti products that have the HitchPoint Grid such as the Hopper Soft Cooler, Camino Carryall Bag, and the Panga Waterproof Backpack. This dry bag is crafted for quick access to essential items necessary for any outdoor adventure.
The one-size-fits-all 3L Sidekick is priced at $50 for all five color waves. This makes a great gift for the angler, hiker, or boat captain. Using plastic bags for essential items is not the most reliable method in wet conditions. Having a purpose-built solution can keep a water-logged phone from the dreaded bag of rice.
