On the surface, looking at Red’s Dry Pouch, you may be thinking, “Why so expensive?” There are many cheaper alternatives out there and many of them we have featured in our reviews in the past. However, as always with Red Original products, they do go that extra mile at the design stage, thinking through all the scenarios.

Red Original Dry Pouch

Red’s Dry Pouch falls somewhere in the middle of a waterproof phone case to the larger waterproof dry bags – in essence you can carry your phone, car keys, money and a little more besides.

Your smartphone fits snugly into the internal pocket for added security from sudden movements and to isolate it from keys, etc that may scratch the screen. The protection on the outside is provided by a tough but pliable material that again is constructed to absorb knocks and shocks.

To keep the contents waterproof if you do have an unexpected swim, is the tried and tested YKK aquaseal zip. To stop if floating away you keep the Dry Bag attached to you either by daisy chaining it to a strap or using the supplied Velcro strips.
