Designed for maximum visibility, the Hyper Yellow dry bag is easy to spot and has a generous capacity.

WE SAY...
We can’t imagine a more visible colour than the ‘hyper yellow’ of this Dry Bag Tow Float, released as part of Speedo’s new Wild Swim range. The material and straps feel premium and robust and we loved the internal clear compartment for keeping a phone visible. Everything is well thought-out, such as the one-way valve to inflate and button to deflate, buckles designed for cold fingers and an extra-long adjustable tether.

How to carry your valuables when swimming is always a conundrum – solved quite neatly by a bum bag for swimmers. Strapped around the waist, this small waterproof bag is big enough for cash, keys, wallet and phone and doesn’t cause unnecessary drag or discomfort while swimming. It has three waterproof seals and a velcro closure. It can also be worn under a wetsuit. It could also be useful for paddleboarding and swimrun.
