Vertical Blue Freediving Competition
The Vertical Blue Freediving competition is not just a test of human endurance and skill — it is a testament to the power of teamwork and the importance of reliable equipment. Sko Gear had the privilege of playing a crucial role in the event, providing the medical team with waterproof backpacks to keep their critical supplies safe and dry.
Waterproof Gear for Medical Aid
From the moment the medical team arrived, it was clear they had a challenging task. Freediving competition means medical gear must be kept close at hand, yet completely protected from the surrounding water. This is where Sko Gear came in.
Our waterproof backpacks were the perfect solution. With their 100% submersible, airtight construction, the medical team could keep essential supplies — first aid kits, medications, communications equipment — completely dry and accessible at all times, whether on a boat, at the water's edge, or even in the water itself.

Why Sko Gear for Medical Use?
- 100% submersible — medical supplies stay dry even if the pack goes in the water
- Quick side-zip access — reach critical supplies fast in emergencies
- Abrasion-resistant — survives rough handling on boats and docks
- Floats when sealed — pack stays on the surface if dropped in water
Beyond Competition — Emergency & Professional Use
The Vertical Blue event highlighted something beyond adventure sports: Sko Gear packs are serious tools for professionals who work around water. From medical teams at water events, to search and rescue, to emergency services — waterproof protection for critical equipment is not optional.
