Waterproof Map Cases

Our waterproof document wallets keep important documents dry. A map case can come in handy if you're hiking in an area with a lot of intersecting trails and dirt roads where it's easy to get lost, where you're unfamiliar with the terrain, or where many of the land characteristics, such as parallel ridges and rounded hills, appear the same. They're also highly useful in places where it rains all the time and travel maps printed on waterproof paper are scarce, which explains their appeal in Ireland and many other nations that still publish maps on paper.
