craig nelson 4 Posted June 29, 2017 Hi All I'm looking to grab a 48 can cooler for my trip to Bali Difficult to find good products here in the U.K. So I'm happy to eBay something or Amazon. Found Norchill and AO coolers to be the products available. I've emailed Norchill and asked about of the zipper on their bags. They are not water tight. Are AO bags zippers water tight ? Watched lots of YouTube vids with AO used and abused . Norchill having water poured out of the zipped bag. Thinking of this rinse tank scenario or should I say over thinking it ! Proberbly don't even need to worry about it as long as it's keeping the housing damp for a few hours. Suggestions please and thoughts all welcome. Thanks Craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blibecap 29 Posted June 29, 2017 Are AO bags zippers water tight ? NO not water tight bags are tough and sturdy just a little bulky for packing due to insulation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thetrickster 328 Posted June 29, 2017 Have a look at CineBags Underwater that have released a new UW camera bag. I've got the 48 cooler and the new CineBag, the cine bag is a lot less bulky than the AO, but is more like the 36can size of the AO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craig nelson 4 Posted June 29, 2017 Cheers thanks Richard , will take a look, where did you fine cinebags in the U.K. ? I think looking at my macro rig its going to have to be a 48 can size. Had the tape out and from viewfinder to front of ports it's >10" I'd have to compromise somewhere I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craig nelson 4 Posted July 2, 2017 Thanks for your input folks I have in the end gone with a 48can Norchill.

It's big enough I rekon to absorb a few cans of beer also lol ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craig nelson 4 Posted July 6, 2017 It's a total of £70. I don't think it will hit with customs as the value is low. The seller just shipped via standard international. If anything it will be about £10 by the time RM have slapped a handling fee on it lol. Regards Craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
