Its primary benefit is providing reliable waterproof protection for maps of various sizes, ensuring they remain usable in wet conditions. A minor caveat is that while durable, it is not indestructible and should be handled with care to prevent punctures. Key features include its clear TPU window for easy map viewing, durable PVC construction, and an adjustable neck strap.

FAQs

Is the map case fully waterproof for submersion?

The map case is designed to be waterproof against rain, splashes, and damp conditions. It is not intended for full submersion in water.

What are the exact dimensions of the map case?

The map case measures 31 cm in width and 39 cm in height.

Can I use a touchscreen device inside the case?

The TPU material is designed for map visibility, not for touchscreen interaction. You will likely not be able to operate a touchscreen device through the case.

How do I clean the map case?

Wipe the case with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and allow to air dry completely.

What material is the map case made from?

The map case is constructed from 80% PVC and 20% polyester, with a clear TPU window.

Can this case hold folded maps or scrolls?

It is best suited for folded maps that lie relatively flat. Very tightly rolled or bulky map tubes may not fit correctly.

Troubleshooting

Map is damp after use.

Ensure the map case was closed completely and securely. Check for any tears or damage to the case that might compromise the seal. For best results, do not submerge the case in water.

Difficulty reading the map through the case.

Ensure the TPU window is clean and free from smudges or dirt. Check that the map is positioned flat within the case. In very bright sunlight, glare might be an issue, try angling the case.

Neck strap feels uncomfortable or is too long/short.

Adjust the length of the neck strap to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the adjustment sliders are locked in place.
