AceCamp Watertight Map Case - 10" Wide x 10" Tall

Video Transcript for Review of AceCamp Dry Storage - Transparent Map Bag - 3771801

Michael: Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a quick look at the AceCamp Waterproof Map Case. As you can see, this is a transparent case so it's going to be used to store your map and allow you to still see the map inside, but it will provide a watertight barrier so that even if you're out in the rain or in the river or whatever the case may be, you'll be able to see the map and keep it dry at the same time.It features a zip seal style seal here, so very similar to your sandwich bags that you probably have in the kitchen right now. Very similar concept, but this is much heavier duty, it's made of a PVC material so it's going to be a lot more rugged, you're not going to have to worry about it tearing like you would with the sandwich bag material.This does give you about 10-and-a-quarter of an inch width here for your map and then about 10 inches in height, so not quite a standard piece of paper. Most maps, there's not really a standard size for maps, and so depending on what size your map is, you might have to fold it up inside to get it to fit. I have got a standard piece of printer paper here to show you an approximate size, so no doubt it'll fit in with the width, it's the height that's a little bit long, so I'm just going to fold that a little bit so we can see just how clearly we can see through.

Zip that up, make sure it's nice and tight. You can see very clearly our piece of printer paper in there.Now the real test is going to be how watertight it is. So I do have a pitcher of water here, obviously it's not big enough for this to fit completely like that, so I'm going to give it an extra little fold. We can still see our map when we dunk it under the water. I'm seeing quite a few bubbles, so I'm a little bit worried I might not have had it sealed up tight enough, but just a short trip under the water and we'll lay it out and see what our paper looks like.So I'm not seeing any water damage.

The ink doesn't seem like it's blurred or anything, so I'd say that that's pretty watertight, especially if you're only going to be using it if you're out in the rain or something like that, I'd say it's going to do a good job for you. It does have this nylon lanyard to help you keep track of it, wear it around your neck if you need to or keep hold of it if you're going down the river on a float trip or something like that, but overall, a very sturdy way to keep your map viewable and dry at the same time.So, that's going to complete our look at the AceCamp Waterproof Map Case. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com, thanks for watching.
