Who doesn’t put their phone and ID in a zipper bag when they go on a long run, bike ride or other activity? I started sealing my phone and essentials a few years ago and it’s saved my goods in a few rain storms. Well Loksak has a line of bags for just that purpose, and they’re much more durable than what you find at your local grocery store.
aLoksak is a resealable bag that’s waterproof, dust proof and humidity proof. The bags were originally developed for SCUBA diving when the founder of the company realized he needed a 100 percent waterproof bag. There is a whole range of bags to fit many applications. There’s a number of bags the size of cell phones, iPods and other small electronic devices. The best part is that you can operate your devices, both buttons and touch screen, through the bag. You don’t need to expose your phone to the elements to look something up, or make a quick phone call.
I have my Blackberry and also my iPod Touch in a case to protect against dings. I can keep them each in their case and slip them into an aLoksak to offer more protection when I’m outdoors. aLoksaks are offered in a range of sizes such as 5×4″ and 5×7″ to 16×24″ and 32×16″ so you can enclose a number of goods from cell phones to laptops in the sacks. Three packs range in price from $6.49 to $15.99. The bags are durable enough to last a season, depending on how much of a beating they take on the road. This coming season I plan to use these for biking, hiking and whatever other activities I end up doing.
