IPX7 certification means the Rothco Waveguard Waterproof Crossbody Bag (SKU 12440, 12441, 12442) can be fully submerged in water up to 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) deep for up to 30 minutes without water penetration. The three-layer waterproof vinyl tarpaulin shell and tension-locked waterproof zipper create an airtight seal that keeps phones, wallets, keys, and electronics completely dry during kayaking, paddleboarding, beach trips, or accidental drops in water. This makes it ideal for water sports and outdoor adventures where standard water-resistant bags would fail.

The tension-locked waterproof zipper on the Rothco Waveguard creates a secure, airtight seal that prevents water ingress even when fully submerged, unlike standard water-resistant zippers that only repel splashes or light rain. The zipper uses a specialized locking mechanism that applies tension to seal the teeth completely, working in tandem with the three-layer vinyl tarpaulin shell to achieve IPX7 certification. Regular water-resistant zippers rely on coatings or flaps that can fail under pressure or prolonged submersion, making the Waveguard's system superior for kayaking, boating, and water park activities.

Yes, the Waveguard's 8.75" × 5.5" × 3" interior (2.2-liter capacity) comfortably fits large smartphones including iPhone 15 Pro Max (6.3" screen), Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (6.8" screen), and similar devices, along with your wallet, keys, cash, and credit cards. The compact design keeps essentials organized and accessible while maintaining IPX7 submersible protection. The adjustable strap allows crossbody or waist carry, keeping your phone secure and dry during water sports, beach trips, or rainy hikes without the bulk of larger dry bags.

Absolutely—the front-mounted MOLLE loops allow you to attach MOLLE-compatible pouches, carabiners, water bottle holders, or tactical accessories to expand your carrying capacity. This modular system is ideal for kayakers who need quick access to fishing tools, hikers carrying first aid kits, or travelers organizing passport holders and key clips. The MOLLE webbing is integrated into the waterproof vinyl tarpaulin shell, maintaining the bag's IPX7 submersible rating while providing tactical versatility. Available in Black, Olive Drab, and Desert Tan to match your gear setup.

Unlike roll-top dry bags that require multiple folds and clips for sealing, the Waveguard features a tension-locked waterproof zipper that provides instant one-handed access to your essentials while maintaining IPX7 submersible protection. The 8.75" × 5.5" × 3" crossbody design keeps valuables close to your body during kayaking or paddleboarding, preventing the bag from shifting or floating away like larger roll-top bags. The adjustable strap allows quick conversion between crossbody and waist carry, while MOLLE loops add modular attachment options that roll-top bags lack—making it more versatile for multi-activity adventures.
