so convenient!
I use this on all of my trips that i go on because it is completely water proof and it fits my phone keys and some extra cash and my passport so i don't ever have to worry about losing it. it also is very sleek so i will put it underneath my shirt and most people don't even know i have it on. this way if some asks for my wallet i can show them my pockets and not have anything. it is the perfect size and i can completely rely on it. I also take it to amusement parks because it holds my phone far more secure than my pocket and on the water rides I'm never worried about my keys money or my phone. highly recommend!!

Excellent Product
I’ve been looking for something that allows me to take my camera and phone everywhere I go without the worry of water damage to my electronics and this has been the perfect product for me. Love that my Amphipak allows me to always feel secure with my expensive electronics no matter what I come across. Would recommend to anyone looking for the same.

Amazing waterproof Bag
I have purchased so many "waterproof" bags for my phone. Most of them don't even fit because of the size of my phone with the case. I purchased this Amphipak crossbody pouch for when I go out on my waverunner or paddle board. I finally found something that is large enough for my phone, car keys and credit cards. Okay, maybe I will throw in lip balm, sunscreen and a protein bar. The best part is that it all fits, and its WATERPROOF!

Amazing and Water Tight
I tested this in the bathtub and no water got to my phone in the pouch. Amazing product! Excited to use this kayaking and when traveling to the beach.

We bought all 10 of us one!
These crossbody waterproof bags are the best! We loved them so much we bought each of our 8 kids (ages 14-29) one for Christmas! We take them on the boat, hiking, snowboarding,etc. The bags are a good size to fit your phone, keys, anything you don’t want to get wet or lost. I definitely recommend these!

Our Roots
Utah, USA
Born From a Real Problem
Built outside.
Refined through experience.
SKÖ started with a simple frustration: outdoor gear that wasn't built for the places we actually wanted to take it.
Founder Dr. Larry Andrew spent years exploring Utah with his family, hiking, camping, hunting, and moving through canyons where water, rock, and rough terrain were simply part of the experience.
That experience led to prototypes, testing, and eventually SKÖ Gear, founded with his family in 2020. Today, we're still independently operated in Mapleton, Utah, building gear around the same idea: adventure shouldn't stop when things get wet.
