Waterproof PVC Phone & Flare Pouches – 3 Sizes

These waterproof PVC pouches provide a universal solution to protect your valuable electronics and signaling devices from moisture and the elements. Designed to be flexible in use, they find a place both onboard your boat and during beach trips, mountain hikes, or even everyday life in a downpour.

Three Practical Sizes:

• Small (code 00527-1, ~12.5x15.5 cm): Meant for standard smartphones (up to about 6-6.5” screen), this pouch seals them securely. It’s perfect when you want your phone handy on a kayak or jet ski without the risk of it getting wet. It also fits car smart keys, compact cameras, or a bundle of cash/IDs for emergencies.
• Medium (code 00527-2, ~18x24 cm): Larger smartphones (like “plus” models) or small tablets/Kindles can fit here. This size is also great for handheld VHF radios, GPS units, or small chart booklets. If you carry a flare gun or medium-sized smoke signals, they can also be kept dry in this pouch.
• Large (code 00527-3, ~27x33 cm): This big pouch is meant for more specialized applications – for instance, a set of distress flares and smoke canisters that must stay dry to function reliably. It can hold multiple SOLAS flares. It also fits documents like a logbook, crew passports, a 10” tablet or a small notebook laptop. It could even serve as a dry bag for clothing in a pinch.

Protection and Features:

• Each pouch provides an airtight seal. The mechanism usually involves a plastic zip-lock closure you press shut, plus additional rolling or Velcro snapping for double security. This way the pouch can handle submersion (typically specified, e.g., 1-2 meters for 30 minutes).
• The PVC material is transparent on one side, allowing you to see your phone’s screen or GPS display. You can operate touchscreens through the pouch – for example, answer a call, read a text, or check a map. (Note: fingerprint sensors might not work through the pouch, but passcodes and touch buttons do.)
• Universal Design: The pouches are not device-specific, so virtually any gadget that fits can be used. The opening is wide enough to insert your item, then seals shut. The large pouch, for example, can hold several smaller items together (radio + phone + documents in one package).
• Lanyard: Each pouch comes with a cord/strap for carrying around your neck or attaching to gear. This prevents loss and keeps your device always within reach. If you drop the pouch, the lanyard makes it easier to retrieve it from the water.
• Buoyancy: An empty pouch is very light and floats on its own. When you put a device inside, especially the small pouch with a phone, often there’s enough trapped air for the whole thing to float (test carefully – heavy smartphones might slowly sink if no air is inside). The large flare pouch will almost always float because flares contain air and the pouch itself is large.

Multi-Purpose Use: Besides obvious water use, these pouches excel in dusty or dirty conditions too. For example, if you’re working in a sandstorm-like environment or biking in the rain, you can protect your electronics. You could also make a dry first-aid kit – put bandages, medicines, and other must-stay-dry items inside, especially useful for rafting or expeditions.

With the waterproof PVC pouches, your electronics and important items are protected everywhere. It’s always a good idea to have at least one such pouch on your boat – be it for your phone or for your flares – because when you need them, they must work, and that means staying dry.
