Device protection for outdoor activities with the Ortlieb Safe-It pouch
Have you ever returned from a wet and windy hike to discover the device you thought you’d safely stowed away into your pocket or bag is water damaged?
It’s a common problem that causes much distress, inconvenience and costs that can, in fact, be easily avoided by putting the device into a protective pouch before storing it in your pocket or bag.
Ortlieb, a German manufacturer of waterproof outdoor gear, bicycle panniers and backpacks, launched the Ortlieb Safe-It protective pouch over a decade ago, yet it is still considered a leading device protection product by outdoor enthusiasts. Stocked by BCH Camping in Medium and Large, the Ortlieb Safe-IT pouch is certainly worth a closer look.
The Ortlieb Safe-It protective pouch
In which situations is the Ortlieb Safe-It protective pouch typically used? The purpose of the pouch is to keep your tech dry while you’re hiking, cycling or indulging in other outdoor pursuits. The pouch protects your smartphone, tablet and other devices from spray water and dust.
It’s very important to point out straight away that the Ortlieb Safe-It is not designed to be submersible, so it will not keep items dry when covered in water.
What the Ortlieb Safe-It protective pouch does provide, however, is high performance device protection for the likes of cyclists, hikers and backpackers who are not to be deterred from enjoying outdoor pursuits just because the weather is somewhat challenging! With the right level of protection, activities can continue without compromising device functionality.
Features of the Ortlieb Safe-It protective pouch
Material
Made from tear-resistant and UV-resistant PU-foil, the pouch is highly durable and designed to withstand unpredictable weather conditions during outdoor activities. The write-through protective plastic layer also facilitates the use of PDA pens.
Application
The Ortlieb Safe-It protective pouch is compatible with all standard smartphones, GPS devices, pocket PCs, e-readers and tablets.
Roll-closure system
The Velcro roll-closure system makes the pouch spray proof and dustproof, allowing you to operate your device while still in the pouch, including side buttons. This means you don’t need to find shelter each time you want to use your navigation app or other functionality on your device.
Drawstring cord
The neck drawstring cord provides easy transportation and speedy access, while its Tanka cord lock allows the length of the cord to be easily adjusted.
Camera slot
There is a transparent camera slot on the rear side of the pouch.
