Protection for a 76CSx on the water

[CivilVet]

I just bought a 76Csx and while it says it is waterproof and floats, I still want to put it in a nice drybag or pouch to keep it dry when I am out kayaking. Anyone have sugestions for a bag that fits it? I found one at a outfitter, but it has text printed on the front which requires me to put in upside down so I can see the screen. Less than ideal, but that is the best I have found.

 

Anyone found something that works really well?

I got one of the Glisson neoprene cases [r76n] for ~$14 shipped from GPSgeek. It will help keep casual rain, spills, and dirt off the unit, though isn't waterproof itself. When kayaking, I just place the whole thing in a ziploc or in my clear deck bag. I think the neoprene cover is worth the price in terms of protecting the screen and keeping out dirt.

I used an Aquapac for my 60CS during several white water rafting and kayaking trips without incident. I never had a problem with the GPS getting wet even when the raft was flipped (several times).

Yup, an Aquapac is all you need. Loop the lanyard around one of the shock cords.

I have been using a pouch called a Drypak for about 3 years and it has worked great! http://www.drypakcase.com/ I have also used it to put my camera in when parasailing and any other times when it'd get wet. Very waterproof and only cost about $12. They have them with cushioned backs or clear backs. Cushioned backs give it more boyancy.
