OYSTER BAY, New York (For immediate release) – Aquapac, experts at keeping consumer electronics and important documents dry, enters a new arena in waterproof protection with the introduction of the Wet & Dry Backpack for 2009.

“The number of uses for our new backpack are astounding,†said Tim Turnbull, CEO of Aquapac International. “From going to the beach, paddling a canoe, commuting on a bicycle or a simple hiking excursion, the ability to separate wet items and dry items in a spacious bag is a tremendous benefit.â€
