  • Patent number: 5605112
    Abstract: A durable gear bag designed for use in white water rafts and other small water craft. Heavy weight polypropylene webbing is sewn along the bottom of the bag. D-rings are attached to extensions of the webbing. The bag is then attached to the D-rings of a raft using common boat straps. The bag/strap configuration permits many different strapping arrangements for use in a variety of water craft. The top of the bag is fitted with strips of common hook and loop fasteners (such as VELCRO). These strips are sealed and rolled down snugly. Three snap release connectors are then used to secure the top of the bag. When not in use, the bag can be folded or stuffed for easy packing.
