FAQs
Is the bag submersible?
Yes, the HERMETIC technology provides an airtight and waterproof seal that protects contents from water ingress, even when fully submerged.
Can I operate my phone while it is in the bag?
While the material is designed to be protective, its primary function is storage. Please check if your specific phone model registers touch through the material, though it is intended as a storage solution rather than a touch-screen case.
How do I clean the bag?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. For salt or mud, rinse with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely.
Does the magnet affect my credit cards?
The magnetic field is localized to the closure system. However, it is always recommended to store sensitive electronics and magnetic-strip cards in a dedicated wallet within the bag for extra security.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The bag is designed for lightweight essentials such as phones, keys, and cards; avoid overloading it with heavy metal objects or tools to maintain the comfort of the strap.
Troubleshooting
Closure does not appear to seal completely
Check the magnetic strip for small debris or sand particles. Wipe both sides of the seal clean and ensure they are aligned properly.
Buckle is difficult to open
Ensure that the magnetic mechanism is not obstructed. Use a sliding motion or the designated pull-tab to release the magnetic force effectively.
Strap feels loose during activity
Adjust the tension sliders until the webbing is snug against your body, then ensure the excess webbing is tucked into the integrated loops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the bag, ensure the magnetic closure is free from large debris that could prevent a flush seal. Adjust the strap length using the integrated sliders to suit your body type, whether wearing it as a crossbody sling or a hip pack. The bag is compatible with most standard smartphones. For care, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the waterproof seal material. After exposure to saltwater, rinse the bag with fresh water to prevent mineral buildup on the magnetic closure components.
