    Waterproof camera bag suggestions?

    I'm looking at buying a bag for my camera to take on the river and need something waterproof since 9 times out of 10 I end up on my ass and drenched...Thought I'd ask here before I move over to the photo forum since some of you guys might have some experience in my situation.

    That stormfront is sweet, but for a cheaper alternative, look here.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys....Stormfront stuff looks pretty sweet. The Watershed stuff on the link may work as well.

    I use these:

    cheap, and work great. I put everything I need to be waterproof in it, and actually float it off a carabiner to bring it to shore. They work really well.

    If you want the actual camera case to be waterproof, look into Pelican cases. Super tough, and totally waterproof. Really pricey, but then you can use that as your camera cases full time.

    hhmmm I might look into the Simms Dry Creek stuff...anyone have one of these and have anything good to say about them? Sure I'd be paying for the Simms brand, but gotta look badass while on the river.

    I don't believe the DC stuff is %100 waterproof if I remember right, as the orvis gale force isn't either. The roll top sea line stuff is or the patagonia with the h20 proof ykk zip.

    I have a Simms DryCreek Backpack, nothing gets wet inside and everything here gets wet, but it's just one big open bag with limited storage options (two tubular interior pockets and a back panel pocket is it)

    I was checking these guys out, I like their design, especially the interior pockets on their backpacks (two, one can be used as wet storage even and it's bright yellow inside). They also make fully waterproof camera cases.

    If not a waterproof camera, a waterproof housing for most canon point and shoots cost less than the Patagucci murse
