I knew when we hit the trail this season that we had multiple river crossings in our future. There was a good chance I’d get soaked from the waist down, but I had to keep my gear clean and dry even if I became completely submerged.
Nite Ize Runoff Cubes offer a great solution for organizing, compressing and protecting gear in the backcountry. A clear front panel lets you view the contents of each cube without having to open. Built-in anchor points can secure anywhere on a backpack.
The three different sizes all share the same silent, waterproof zipper that removes all worries that critical gear will remain safe and bone dry — $38 and up.
