HiHiLL WB-A1 is a bag that combines the peculiarities of dry bags with the portability of a backpack, all with an eye towards technology thanks to the ingenious addition of a pocket designed specifically for the smartphone. Our editorial staff has seen it closely, being able to appreciate all the advantages and considering it an excellent ally for those who are preparing to go camping, those who practice sports also in contact with water or in general for those who are preparing to spend a day outdoors. open air.
How it is made
After all it is a bag strongly strengthened by the particular fabric plastic which makes it completely waterproof ( IP65 , therefore it is an enclosure totally protected against dust, against access with a wire and against jets of water). The closure system is very particular: there are no hinges, no buttons or pressure systems, but to close it it is necessary to join the two edges of the opening and roll them up on themselves at least three times, then closing them through a clip buckle . This will create a sort of handle that is very practical for carrying by hand, a system which, among other things, ensures complete hold. waterproof .
The bag is very sturdy, with double stitching and a sealed bottom for a total weight of 370 grams, and is so water repellent that it can even float on water without even a drop permeating inside, a feature that we can confirm thanks to a quick test we carried out in the bathtub, closing it only with air inside. In this sense it can sometimes be functional to double the “turns” for closing (5-6 may be enough): the dimensions are significantly reduced, but in this way the air will be prevented from escaping and, if well covered with a towel, a beach towel (the bag is completely black and black, you know, is the worst color when you are exposed to the sun) can also work as a temporary pillow , maybe just as you lie down on the beach.
Don't call it a lot
We've been doing it all along, but don't call it a lot because you would diminish its potential . Although the shape recalls its main features, in reality it can also be carried on the shoulders like a backpack using the two solid shoulder straps included in the package that can be hooked and unhooked at will to the four rings incorporated in the bag through the respective plastic carabiners . The length of the shoulder straps is adjustable up to 1.2 meters and, if necessary, even just one can be fixed diagonally, transforming it into a shoulder bag .
The volume, equal to 15 liters , offers enough space to accommodate a beach towel and a bottle for sunscreen together with glasses, tablet, book, keys and anything else that can be used in a common day on the beach, but structure and waterproofness make this dry bag an excellent ally also for those who are preparing to spend an afternoon sailing, rafring, canoeing and so on and so forth: it can also work in the middle of winter in the snow during a ski or snowboard descent. But it also finds space on the campsite or on the shoulders of mountaineers and hikers for food, equipment, clothing and sleeping bags, even when wet, thus avoiding soaking the trunk of the car on returning home (however, we must not forget to free the contents a reached the destination to avoid that the fabrics can mold).
For those who are attentive to the measurements , the diameter of the bag it is about 18-20 centimeters and the height is equal to 30 centimeters with 6 turns for closing: with only 3 turns, sufficient for an excellent watertight, about 10 are recovered, for a total of 40 centimeters in height .
The smartphone pocket
As mentioned, the peculiarity of this bag consists in the presence of a pocket (18 x 11 cm) tailored for the smartphone. The external facade is transparent and therefore allows you to interact completely with the phone screen without having to take it out of the bag. Also inside there is a 3.5 mm jack plug with a few centimeters long cable that can possibly be connected to the respective phone socket (with iPhone 7 remember to connect the Lightning adapter): in this way, using the external jack socket, you can connect headphones to listen to music or manage phone calls, leaving the smartphone safe in the bag.
Conclusions
As mentioned it is very convenient in various activities 'open, even in those where water could be a dangerous enemy of one's equipment, electronic or otherwise. It can be easily carried by hand or on the shoulders, has a dedicated smartphone pocket with a headphone socket and when emptied it can be easily folded to take up very little space inside the trunk of the car or a backpack, without forgetting its possible use as an emergency pillow.
