The YETI Sidekick Dry 3L is an ideal storage solution for outdoor enthusiasts, paddlers, and adventurers who need to keep small essentials like phones, wallets, and keys secure and dry during water-based activities. Its primary benefit is the innovative magnetic, waterproof closure system, which ensures total protection against the elements while maintaining quick access to your gear.

FAQs
Can I fit a full-sized tablet inside the Sidekick Dry?
No, the 3L capacity is optimized for smaller items like smartphones, wallets, and keys. It will not accommodate standard-sized tablets.
Is the Sidekick Dry fully submersible?
While the Hydroshield closure is highly resistant and waterproof, it is intended to keep gear dry in wet conditions, not for deep-water diving.
Can I use this if I have a pacemaker?
No. The Sidekick Dry contains high-strength magnets that may interfere with the operation of pacemakers and other medical devices.
Does it float if dropped in the water?
The case is designed to be waterproof, but it is not intended as a flotation device. Always ensure it is securely attached to your pack.
Will the magnets damage my credit cards?
It is recommended to avoid placing magnetic strips of credit cards directly against the magnetic closure for extended periods.
How do I attach it to my Panga Backpack?
Use the built-in attachment system on the rear of the Sidekick to loop it through the external grid webbing on your Panga Backpack.
Troubleshooting
Magnetic closure is not sealing correctly
Clear any dirt, sand, or debris from the magnetic strips and ensure the surfaces are aligned properly.
Attachment straps are loose on the bag
Verify that the straps are threaded through both the HitchPoint grid on the pack and the loops on the back of the Sidekick correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the Sidekick Dry to your gear, use the integrated hook-and-loop straps to secure it to the 'HitchPoint' grids found on Camino carryalls, Hopper coolers, and the Panga Backpack. Ensure the magnetic closure is clean and free of large debris to maintain a perfect seal.
For care, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after saltwater exposure to prevent residue buildup. The interior can be cleaned with mild soap and water, but ensure it is completely dry before storing the unit for long periods. Avoid storing the case near credit cards or sensitive electronic media for extended periods due to the high-strength magnets.
