FAQS
WHAT DOES 'PROLONGED SUBMERSION' MEAN?
‘Prolonged submersion’ means the product is designed to withstand being fully submerged in water for an extended period of time—typically beyond quick dips or accidental drops.
Products with this level of protection usually carry an IP68 rating, meaning they are suitable for extended use underwater, such as swimming, snorkeling, or situations where gear may remain submerged.
Keep in mind, while these products are highly waterproof, they’re not rated for deep-sea diving or high-pressure water environments. Always refer to the individual product page for specific depth and time guidance.
"Quick submersion" refers to the ability to withstand brief periods of submersion in water without allowing water to penetrate. This means the gear can handle situations like accidental drops in water or brief immersion, but it is not designed for prolonged submersion. For full protection, we recommend ensuring the roll-top seal is securely fastened before exposing it to water.
WHAT DOES ‘FOUL WEATHER AND SPRAY PROOF’ MEAN FOR YOUR WATERPROOF GEAR?
‘Foul weather and spray proof’ means that our gear is designed to protect against rain, wind, snow, and splashes from water, keeping your belongings safe and dry in wet and windy conditions. However, it is not intended for full submersion in water. These items provide excellent protection from weather elements but are not designed for prolonged exposure to large amounts of water.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WATERPROOF MAIN COMPARTMENT AND THE WEATHERPROOF ZIP POCKET?
The Coolers Dry Bags include an external weatherproof zip pocket with an IP65 rating.
The main compartment (IP66) is designed for quick submersion and will protect contents if the bag is briefly dropped in water.
The weatherproof zip pocket (IP65) is foul weather and spray proof, meaning it can handle rain, splashes, and spray—but it is not submersible. Water may enter the zip pocket if the bag is fully submerged.
Tip: Store valuables, electronics, or water-sensitive items inside the main roll-top compartment rather than the outer zip pocket when in wet or unpredictable conditions
HOW VISIBLE ARE THE PANNIERS IN LOW LIGHT?
Our panniers are designed with safety and visibility in mind, especially for early morning or evening rides.
Each pannier features a large reflective strip on the front
Plus a reflective strip on each side for increased side-on visibility
There are also LED bike light attachment loops, so you can easily add extra lights for even greater visibility on the road
Whether you’re commuting or touring, these built-in features help ensure you stay seen in low-light or poor weather conditions.
WILL THE PANNIERS FIT ON ANY BIKE RACK?
Attaching your pannier is quick and secure thanks to our Universal Attachment System.
The waterproof pannier easily connects to either side of your bike’s rear rack using:
Two top-mounted hooks that clip onto the rack rails
A swivel locking bar at the bottom that anchors the pannier to the lower part of the rack for extra stability
This system keeps your pannier firmly in place—even over rough terrain—while still being easy to remove when needed.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY DRY BAG?
To clean your dry bags, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. If they’ve been exposed to saltwater, be sure to rinse them with fresh water to remove any salt residue. For stubborn dirt, you can use a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this may damage the bag’s waterproof coating. After cleaning, allow your dry bag to air dry completely before storing it to ensure it remains in top condition.
