About Aquapac
AQUAPACis the world number one supplier of use-through 100% waterproof carrying solutions for the outdoor active. Our range of innovative waterproof cases caters for every item of value from your handheld electronics to your money, passports and cameras too. The Aquapac concept was created in London in 1983 by three young windsurfers looking for a way to listen to music while enjoying their favourite sport. After brainstorming the idea they designed a waterproof case that could do just that. Years later, their design was further developed and formed the Aquapac brand with its distinctive, patented AQUACLIPsealing system.
Today, Aquapac sells in more than 40 countries and is relied upon by knowledgeable watersports enthusiasts and professional users worldwide including the US Coast Guard, the Royal Navy, the US Navy, the USDA Forest Service, the US Fish & Wildlife Service and numerous Lifeguard and Rescue Services. The key to our cases, the patented AQUACLIPsealing system, has been tested by BSI British Standards to the highest waterproofing standards available. Genuine Aquapac cases sealed by the Aquaclip are all guaranteed submersible to at least 15ft/5m and that is backed by a 3-year global warranty.
Giving our customers something far better than the average waterproof bag, we channel all our energies into innovating and developing products so that our customers can enjoy their activities, worry-free. Using the highest quality materials and manufacturing to the highest possible standards. Making products that we ourselves would want to own.
