I have the Watershed Ocoee and the Watershed Chatooga. I have used the Ocoee every weekend paddling for the last 5 years. It has never leaked and it still looks brand new.
Awesome how well these hold up
I have both of these bags. Each are over 15 years old and they sill work great!
wow!
Finally picked up my own Ocoee Watershed. Super excited to be able to speak on behalf of the bag for years to come!
Definitely one the best available
Great video covering two quality products. I own Seal Line bags of various types and sizes and a couple bigger Watershed bags. I’ve always felt WS was better for multi-day and expensive gear and SL more for day trips.
Personally a 5L Baja has been my go to for nearly 10 years. Plenty of space for the basics I almost always take: pin kit, first aid, food, headlamp, hip pad, extra socks, and sometimes walkies. I just don’t need 10L on most outings and not sure it would fit well in stern of my smaller boats, otherwise I’d be down w the Ocoee.
Also, worth noting that to get best seal w roll down bags you want to be sure you are folding, not rolling. In other words, you want distinct flat section being repeatedly folded, not one smooth roll. And they definitely will not stay dry if left submerged like the WS seal can. I rarely take my phone, but when I do I put it in a waterproof phone bag inside the SL Baja.
Correction: My current is a Seal Line Black Canyon 10L, but I fold it down a lot, and I did use a 5L Baja for years (and my wife still does). Maybe I should check out the Ocoee, but I have a feeling it won’t get as small as I want. 🤔
crazy how good these seal lines are for the price and the ocoee watershed is pretty much the perfect stern dry bag for kayaks
I have both bags and love them both! If I’m bringing my camera I will put it in the seal bag and drop it into the watershed bag. That’s pads it’s good and keeps it dry when opening the bag. I also leave a micro fiber towel in the water shed to keep my camera dry.
Yeah I keep a small cloth towel with me also
The Watershed bag is top shelf. Top shelf where mom keeps the cookies!
Oh yeah great hiding spot
Use both Seal Line and Watershed in Open water and River kayaking. Also have the mil grade from both. My first Baja bag is a 5L and is 14 years old.
for the price those seal lines are really good deal
I have both bags. With short, local trips, I'll use the Seal Line as it fits in my Rewind better than my Watershed. Usually I'm only carrying a first aid kit and food in the bag. For longer trips where I'm paddling a creeker and taking more gear, I'll use the Watershed.
Yeah I will do the same time to time thanks for feedback
Where do you like to store the ocoee bag in your boat?
I just upgraded my float bags to the futa, but I’m debating about grabbing an ocoee bag for between my legs. Biggest concern was then organizing where I keep my throw rope, and I’m a little nervous about getting a foot or something snagged in the handle of the bag. (Wouldn’t typically want to have this many bags in my boat, but I lucked out and I’m running the grand in March)
I usually just clip the ocoee bag behind the seat if I’m in a hurry or need to get to it quick like for camera it’s between my legs clipped to the water bottle holder but 99% it’s behind me
@@WadeHarrison awesome! Thank you! I was just trying to mentally get an idea of it’s size in the boat. Cheers!
@@justinbell937 I will have more on it later
For self-support trips l only trust watershed with my sleeping, clothes & most of my food. I do use a seals bag for keeping my lunch & snacks in while paddling. That said, if it's challenging whitewater for me l'll put my lunch in zip locks then in the seals bag.
We have the same mindset I have some zip lock bags I put stuff inside seals bag but only trust watershed to anything of value
I have both. But, the Watershed developed pin holes at the creases where I fold the bag.
Oh wow you should contact them on that I have had nothing but good experiences with watershed and sealine
@@WadeHarrison I will.
Seal Line is only strong enough for backpacking.
-This message brought to you by Watershed Gang
I would not disagree with that statement at all i highly recommend the watershed over any type of roll down
Please tell me you aren’t using a non-locking biner in your boat
Lol 😂 on a dry bag stuffed in the stern yeah I think it’s fine back there for just holding it in
But I do agree all other safety type stuff slings ropes ect I use screw gates or twist gates
Watershed Occoee all the way !
Spoken Like you have owned one?
@@WadeHarrison yesssir got 3-4 of those watershed bags the Colorado bags I can get the whole house in 😂
Watershed all the way.
For an unintentional test of how airtight Watershed bags are, put beef jerky still in store packaging in there, seal it up, and then open after a few hours, it assaults your nose.
I had to air the drybag out for a a day or two after that. 😂
air tight seal that is true the seal line are water tight but not air tight
Watersheds work great just don’t leave a can drink in it while you paddle
Wrap your drinks with something and they will be fine
@@WadeHarrison it was
@@yakob.simpson well you play to much then become a floater so you have your drinks
It only takes one exploded beer and the lesson is learned...leave the beers in the cooler at the take-out and bring whiskey for self-support trips.
I have the watershed ocoee and I love it
Actually I use military issued Dry bag.
yes they have a upgrade form this
@@WadeHarrison LOL
If it ain't work don t buy a new one
they were getting pretty wore so time to get another
The camera view of folding/rolling the top of the basic SL drybag was not good but it looks like you hardly did anything substantial to prevent leaks.
So true I agree really need to make sure it’s a very tight roll to prevent leaks
