No matter where you stash gear on a boat, there's a risk it will get wet — unless you tuck it into one of these dry bags. For easy days on the water, we like the clear Glacier Dry Bag because we can see our stuff inside. Roll the top down and buckle it in place with the adjustable straps for secure waterproof storage. From $21.99 For bigger loads and more-rugged conditions, go with the Aqua Knot 1200 backpack that sports 22 liters of dry storage. Reinforced to take tough handling, it can be closed quickly like a messenger bag for everyday use or rolled and buckled for watertight needs. Velcro fasteners offer yet another easy sealing option.
