For some time now, the trend has been for fanny packs and small waist bag. I am sure you are familiar with some of the popular brands that are everywhere. Well, the renowned YETI brand hasn’t missed out on this trend and presents us with its very own little gear case. Here are the features and benefits of YETI’s Sidekick Dry 3L.
About YETI
Renowned for their coolers since 2006, YETI now presents a wide range of outdoor products. Offering quality and durability, they know how to stand out from the crowd. Bottles, mugs, iso-thermal containers, bags and much more, YETI combines style and high-quality materials in the manufacture of its products.
The new King Crab Orange Collection
As you can see, YETI offers a new colour collection: The King Crab Orange. Colour inspired by true eventsโข. โโThe North Pacific is home to cold grey skies and dark stormy seas, but every season, men and women band together and risk their lives searching for colour. Spending days, nights, and whole seasons away from family, to full an iconic rich, orange crab to the surface and put food on the table.โโ
This beautiful and lively orange is inspired by bright spots in rough waters. Personally, orange is a colour I’m already fond of. But YETI’s orange is absolutely gorgeous. It is flamboyant and eye-catching at first glance. I would love ordering every item in this collection!
The Sidekick Dry & the Sideclick Strap
The Sidekick Dry 3L is a waterproof gear case which can be carried in three alternative ways:ย
- First of all, there is a small carrying handle on the back, so you can easily carry it in your hands.
- Secondly, it can be attached to one of YETI’s coolers, or to a military-style molle, using the hitchpointโข grid.ย
- Thirdly, there is the YETI Sideclick, to secure your Sidekick Dry Gear Case to wear it as a crossbody or belt bag. This adjustable nylon weave strap can be purchased separately for $12 CAD.ย
The material of the Sidekick Gear Case is similar to a high-performance whitewater raft. It doesn’t just look a little water-resistant, it’s downright waterproof. The sturdy material looks durable over time. This is also accurate for the Sideclick Strap and the Hitchpointโข system sewn into the back.ย
Water cannot get trapped inside the bag thanks to the Hydroshieldโข Magnetic Closure. It keeps your gear dry. I tested it by soaking it directly in water. It’s so well designed, everything inside was dry. There is the magnetic closure, but the top of the bag folds down and is secured with a long strip of water-resistant Velcro.
The interior is quite simple. Just a small mesh pocket makes it easy to divide up your gear. Here are the dimensions: This bag of 3L. is 11.8โโW x 3.0โโD x 6.9โโH. This little bag is compatible with other products of YETI. All Caminoยฎ, Hopperยฎ products and the Pangaยฎ Backpack.
To conclude
All in all, it is fun to keep up with the trend, while still retaining an outdoor feel. The Sidekick 3L Waterproof Gear Case is practical and ideal for carrying your keys, wallet, cell phone and even a few important papers when you are off on an adventure. Whether you are out boating, canoeing, fishing or even hiking, the Sidekick Waterproof Gear Case is the perfect solution. For $65 CAD, this little pocket is a must and it is sure to be my favorite partner this spring and summer, whatever the weather!
