Ultimate Guide of Waterproof Gear for 2020

Finally, summer is here and that means bathing suits, sunscreen, and water. All of that spells out a fantastic holiday, that is until you get your valuables wet and damaged. Don’t worry, I have put together the ultimate list of waterproof gear you should buy right now, so you can enjoy your holiday without any worries.

Let’s jump in.

Tip #1: Waterproof iPhone Cases

Waterproof cases work well for a variety of reasons. First, they are heavy-duty protective cases, so you can use them on and off the water. Second, they utilise high-grade materials, such as TPU and PC so your phone can be dropped on land or in water without irreparable damage.

Here are a few features you should consider for waterproof cases work well:

Can withstand being dropped
Shock, snow, and water-resistant
Ability to be submerged in water

The last one is especially important as some cases may claim they are “waterproof” but they really are referring to quick slips in the sink or a puddle. Vapespoon Waterproof SlimCase got listed as #1, by Shopfordevice because it can be submerged in water for up to six and a half hours, not minutes hours. If you have an iPhone XS consider investing in a durable protective case.

Tip #2: Fitness Tracker

If you have been working hard to get beach body ready why not get a waterproof fitness tracker to tell you how well you are doing. You can get Fitbit Flex for just this purpose. This small device will tell you how many calories you have burned, how far you have gone and is perfect for laps in the pool.

It conveniently lights up and vibrates if you have a notification on your phone. The design is also very simple coming in a sleek band design that looks like a slim bracelet.

Tip #3: Underwater Cameras

If you are the adventurous type then an underwater camera should be right up your alley. The GoPro HERO Session was created to capture those unforgettable moments. Here are a few of its incredible features:

30 frames per second – 1440p footage
60 frames per second – 1080p footage
Lightweight
Waterproof up to thirty-three feet
One button for easy pictures and video recording
Easily attaches to a helmet or bicycle

This is an amazing way to keep your expensive tech safely tucked away while you paraglide, snorkel in the barrier reef, or careen down the mountains on your trusted vehicle of choice.

Tip #4: Readers

After all that exercise and adventure its time to unwind with your favourite book in the pool or at the beach. If you are concerned about getting your book ruined by the elements, consider getting a waterproof kindle. The Kindle Oasis is waterproof and also offers water-specific features such as:

Larger screen
Physical Page Turn buttons
Audiobook support

Wrap Up

If you are heading to the beach or other wet destinations consider taking all or at least a few of these with you. The Waterproof cases works well in every situation whether dropped, submerged for hours in the water, or snow. Before you go on an adventure take an underwater camera and a Kindle Oasis to maximise your fun and leisure time.
