Aquapac

Aquapac International is a British company headquartered in London, and selling all over the world. We’ve been a leading light in the waterproof bag world for over 30 years, and we’ve sold over 5 million waterproof bags and cases

Aquapac’s been going since 1983. It all began with three guys chatting in a London pub and the story goes that one of them said “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if you could listen to a Sony Walkman while windsurfing?” (both the Walkman and windsurfing were pretty new right then). They all agreed it would, so the very next day they set about creating a waterproof case that would make it possible. That first bag may not have been a great looker – but it worked! And from these small beginnings emerged a waterproof case for handheld VHF radios that boaters all over the world still rely on today

Some brands have tried to invent their own definitions of waterproofing. But actually an international standard already exists – so at Aquapac they use that.The international standard is called IEC 60529 – Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures and it was developed by a technical committee of the International Electrotechnical Commission. In the USA it has been adopted by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) as an American National Standard
