OtterBox 3500
The waterproof otterbox 3500.
i have today done a few simple water tests with the box so here are
my first observations and photos
the first thing you notice is
the solid feel of this box and the quality design and build the
boxes come in a variety of colours some with transparent lids and
some with solid colour lids
.
this photo shows the size comparison when put on the centre console on the kayak its about the same width
i have tried to show how robust the locking catces are here they are very strong and chunky so should be no problem opening with cold wet hands
you can see here the lenght just right fo a pack of
feather rigs in this box i put 40 sets of riggs and about 40 jelly
eels you can see its still not full plenty of space for more kit
.
please note the rubber seals around the top of the
lid
this photo above shows some of the clever design features it has a flat cutout so we can atach straps so if the box fall over the side its still teathered and wont get lost
time to start testing i filled the box of tackle then tossed it in to a bowl of water and it floats so easily retrived if droped overboard .
i then held the box under water
for aprox 15 mins to see if any water came in to the tackle i held
the box upside down so the lid seals were completly
submerged
then on its side for about another 10 mins i wanted to see if any water had got inside to the tackle
