STRONG IN DRIZZLING RAIN: HALFAR® BAGS WITH SPLASH PROTECTION

Practical protection for on the go – tips for proper use

Whether hiking, cycling, travelling or just going about your daily routine – sometimes you need to move quickly, but still want to keep the contents of your bag dry and clean. Splash-proof HALFAR® bags are designed for just that: they help protect sensitive items from dirt and moisture when the weather isn't playing along.

Strong material, smart design

Our splash-proof bags are made from durable materials, such as water-repellent ripstop fabric (in the EXPLORE backpack) or robust tarpaulin material (in the Splash series). Many HALFAR® models also have welded or glued seams, preventing moisture from entering the bag through the seams. This design ensures that the contents are well protected in light rain, splashes or even when placed on wet surfaces.

Closures that think for themselves


Depending on the model, either a roll closure or a splash-proof zip is used. Both prevent water from penetrating during brief periods of wet weather. Important to know: The protection only works if the closure is completely closed – and the bag is used properly.

Where they are practical

Splash-proof HALFAR® bags are (small) organisational geniuses – and can be used in a wide variety of situations. When travelling, they help to safely store delicate items such as clothing or travel documents, even if it starts to drizzle along the way. When hiking, cycling or doing other outdoor activities, they protect maps, snacks or tools from dirt and moisture. Those who are on the go a lot in everyday life can use them to pack cables, chargers or toiletries so that they don't get lost or dirty in their bag. And sometimes the benefit is even reversed: after a rain shower, the wet umbrella simply ends up in the splash-proof bag – so the rest of your luggage stays dry and the umbrella doesn't forget the way home from the cloakroom.

Instructions for proper use


For a splash-proof bag to do what it is supposed to do, it is not only the material that matters, but also how it is used. Important to know: Splash-proof does not mean waterproof. The bag protects against light rain, splashes or damp surfaces – but it is not designed to be left standing in the rain for long periods of time or even submerged. The closure also plays a decisive role. Only when it is completely closed – whether it is a roll closure or a splash-proof zip – will the contents remain protected. Open zips or incompletely rolled openings allow water to penetrate more easily. Caring for the material also contributes to its longevity. Extreme temperatures, whether scorching sun or freezing cold, take their toll on the material and seals over time. It is best to store the bag in a dry and protected place. Sharp or pointed objects should not be transported unprotected, as they can damage the material. Electronic devices such as mobile phones or cameras should always be transported in an additional, suitable protective cover. Splash-proof HALFAR® bags alone do not offer sufficient protection for this. And one more note: these bags are not designed to hold liquids directly. Even if they keep moisture out, they are no substitute for a water container.

Conclusion

Splash-proof HALFAR® bags are reliable companions when it comes to short-term protection against moisture. With robust material and careful manufacturing, they are ideal for everyday use and leisure activities – provided they are used correctly.
