PLANO 3440-10 Waterproof Stowaway (3400 Series)

I bought this because I was putting together a camping/outdoor bag and didn't really know how I wanted to lay it out. I knew for sure that I wanted a few things (fire starting kit, a few camp supplies) to be waterproof, and I saw this box for a reasonable price so I bought it to try. I'm glad I did.In the past, gallon Ziploc bags have been my go-to for keeping things dry. They work well, they're inexpensive, and they're not rigid so you can tuck them into irregular little pockets of space inside a bag. They have their place.But for a fire starting kit, I wanted something really durable, buoyant in water, and rigid enough so that my equipment wouldn't get damaged by a tumble. Fire can quickly become critical if something goes wrong on a hike or camping trip so I needed my kit to be clean, dry and undamaged when the time came to use it.This kit holds a couple of boxes of matches, a butane lighter, a small Fresnel lens (way better than a magnifying glass for starting fires), a piece of fatwood, and a few cotton balls soaked in candle wax and sealed in small Ziploc bag. If I have this kit, I can get a fire going anywhere that there's fuel. (And yes, I keep a backup butane lighter in my pocket in case this kit gets lost, but I really hope it doesn't come to that.)I liked this box so much that I bought another and use it for a small last-ditch repair kit. It holds duct tape, 550 cord, a new single-edge razor blade, and a small, unopened tube of cyanoacrylate glue. The tape has been removed from its roll and wound around a small, flat plastic sheet so it will fit inside this box. The razor blade is taped to the lid so I can always find it. I may add a couple of sewing needles, some thread, and some fishing line to this kit as I still have some room in the case.I've also used this case to keep my cellphone and car keys dry when I wade in rivers and lakes. It works really well for that, though you have to be careful how you put the keys in so that they don't scratch your phone's screen. There's enough room to include my driver's license and credit card as well, but it's small enough that it will fit in a (large) pocket. Yeah, it feels bulky, but my keys, phone, and cards are my most critical gear (can't get home without them) and I like to keep them on my person instead of in my bag.The clasps on this box are somewhat hard to close. This is a requirement for keeping it waterproof-- all that pressure is needed to keep it tightly sealed-- but if you have small or weak hands (or if you're injured or in shock), you may find it difficult to use. On the other hand, it is VERY waterproof. I tested it by closing only the center clasp, leaving the other two undone, and dunking it underwater. Even with only the center clasp holding the lid shut, this box remained waterproof in a foot or so of water. It probably wouldn't work if the larger clasp came undone but I like that there's some redundancy built into the case.If you camp or hike, a box like this will probably have a dozen different uses. For the price, it's a good idea to pick one up and spend some time thinking about how to use it to keep some critical gear safe. This summer I'll be wading in some lakes and rivers, and I'll be using one of these boxes to keep my stuff dry.

Cette marque est tout simplement impressionnante ! Tout ce qu’ils produisent est parfait : la qualité du plastique, l’ingénierie des fermetures… Rien à redire, c’est vraiment le top du top. Je n’achète plus que leurs produits, et je vous recommande d’y aller les yeux fermés !

dopo due anni in barca sono ancora nuovi come il primo giorno.... assurdi... li straconsiglio

Hice algunas pruebas para cierto tipo de aplicación donde hay qué sumergir un circuito con baterías y tras dos días me di cuenta que el empaque, si es de color negro no es tan bueno, metí unas hojas de papel y al día siguiente estaban húmedas.Si bien no es completamente hermética se puede modificar para mejorar el empaque, si quitas el empaque y lo pegas con silicón que soporte humedad puede mejorar bastante el sellado. Solo ten cuidado al quitar el empaque si es el gris/negro porque es un hule espuma muy débil.

Received item intact.

I bought this case to keep my cell phone dry while kayaking. It works great. I can open it to use the phone for photos and put it back in without worrying about my phone getting wet while paddling. The case floats too, so if I drop it overboard, I won't lose it.To be certain it was waterproof, before I used it I tested it by filling a large bucket with water, putting some tissue inside the case, sealed it and then placed the case inside the bucket with a rock on top to hold it down (it floats otherwise). 30 minutes later I took the case out of the bucket, dried it off with a towel and opened it. Not a drop of water got inside the container.

Muy útil

Magnifico producto, está súper fuerte y sella a la perfección lo súper recomiendo entra mi iPhone X a la perfeccion

es más grande de lo que esperaba, bastante resistente, a prueba de agua, ideal para hacer un kit de edc, y sobre todo a un precio bastante accesible

Su media interns es 8.5 x 16 x 2 CM apenas y entra un celular de 5.5 pulgadas, el material con el que está hecho es grueso, el empaque de color rojo es muy grueso, las pestañas negras para cerrar el empaque si hay que hacer fuerza para que cierre lo que hablaría que tardaría en entrarle el agua. Pensé que era más grande pero me sirve para el fin común de echar el celular y tal vez la cartera o baterías. Me gustaría que fuera el doble del volumen actual. Agrego las medidas externas 18.73 x 11.43 x 4.45 cm

Se veia de buena calidad pero lo regrese porque estaba muy pequeño

Pense que era mas grande pero me a sido de utilidad para guardar el celular es de la medida ideal para mi note 4

Excelente producto las preferidas para meter los señuelos de pesca y la marca lo dice todo
