A leisurely ride on the river, beautiful weather and friends or family around. (Not only) a weekend trip on the water is simply a summer idyll. Do you want to enjoy it to the fullest this year and without worrying about getting your electronics wet or losing important things? Just take a few gadgets with you from the FIXED brand, which are already used by thousands of Czech paddlers.
Why you should pack carefully for water
River rafting is fun and romantic, but it can be treacherous at times. You and your friends may be caught off guard by a storm or persistent rain , electronics or other personal belongings may unexpectedly fall into the water (when you get stuck), or space in the boat may be limited. That's why it's important not to underestimate preparation.
Boaters sometimes lock their cell phones, wallets, watches, and other valuables in a large barrel, but it takes up a lot of space and it's a pain to take things out of it and put them back in.
Fortunately, there is another way to solve this problem. If you and your friends or family buy a few handy accessories from FIXED, you won't need a barrel.
If you plan to use your mobile phone and other electronics frequently
Do you want to record every experience from your water trip, write messages on your mobile phone or look at the map? Therefore, we recommend the following accessories.
Waterproof case will protect your phone and other valuables
You never know when you might slip and end up in the water. That's why it's a good idea to keep your electronics and other important items in a place where they won't get a drop of water. A waterproof case is the ideal solution. FIXED Float Twin with two separate pockets and a solid locking system. Thanks to IPX8 water resistance, your phone will be dry and safe even if it falls into the water.
If you are taking the whole family or a large group with you on the water and you are taking a lot of valuables, a practical waterproof bag will also come in handy. FIXED Float Bag , which will protect your valuables from getting wet and dirty . Thanks to the 500D PVC material, it is tear-resistant and, given its 3-liter volume, you can put all the essentials in it.
TIP: Want to make sure you don't lose a bag full of electronics and other valuables? Just insert the smart tracker FIXED Tag into it. using Apple's Find My network. It works as a personal watchdog for your belongings. In the Find app on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, you can see the location of the smart tracker (and therefore your belongings). At FIXED, we designed this smart pendant to have a battery life of up to 1 year and to be as practical as possible - in addition to putting it in a bag, you can clip it to your keys, put it in your wallet or clip it to your backpack.
Charge up to 3 devices at once on the water. Even without an outlet
Electricity is often a scarce commodity on water trips, especially if you decide to camp outdoors. But that doesn't have to worry you, because you can recharge your mobile phone, tablet or watch several times with the power bank. For water trips, we recommend the FIXED Zen 20 Pro power bank with LCD display. .
It has a great power of 130W , a capacity of 20,000 mAh (i.e. it can withstand several charging cycles) and thanks to the Power Delivery 3.0 standard, it will replace even a powerful mains charger. In addition, it has 3 outputs (2 × USB–C, 1 × USB-A), so you can charge up to 3 devices at once . The power bank's LCD display will provide you with a detailed overview of the current usage of each output and the battery status.
When you only use your cell phone and other electronics occasionally
If you take a minimum of electronics with you and only want to check the time on your phone, chat messages, or take the occasional selfie, you can get by with more modest equipment.
Keep your phone handy and dry at the same time
Do you want to keep your smartphone with you on the boat? No problem, just buy a waterproof case FIXED Dry Belt with fastening around the waist. The bag is transparent, so you can still see your phone, and you can conveniently control the display through the transparent cover.
You can also count on maximum protection against water, because thanks to the IPX8 waterproof certification, the case can withstand immersion to a depth of up to 5 meters for 1 hour without any damage. We made the FIXED Dry Belt from extra durable Hypalon mesh 420 D material, which is great for protection not only against water, but also against tearing.
TIP: If you're heading out into rougher waters, consider getting the FIXED Float Max waterproof case. with a solid locking system and air cushions that make the case float on the surface . Your mobile phone will remain 100% protected from water, and sand or other dirt will not penetrate your pocket.
Pack a foldable power bank with MagSafe support in your case
Even if you're going on a one-day hike, it's a good idea to have a power bank on hand because you never know how quickly your phone will run out of juice.
A great power bank for shorter trips FIXED MagZen (2nd gen.) with wireless charging and MagSafe support . You can hide it in a waterproof case (e.g. the aforementioned FIXED Float Twin case), and when you need it, you can start charging. The power bank has a capacity of 10,000 mAh and thanks to MagSafe technology, you can charge your phone wirelessly . Since it supports fast charging, you don't have to wait long hours to top up the juice. You will also be pleased with the ability to supply power to 2 devices at once.
