McKenzie and Fisher tell you their maps are waterproof, but anything you write on the damn things disappears the moment they touch water. It’s easy to fold them up and lay them flat inside a big Ziploc bag, but you know it’ll blow away leaving you guessing at landmarks in the dark. No, the only decent option is one of Granite Gear’s Map Cases. They come in three sizes and have little shock cords that tie them to your boat or the person’s pack who’s hiking in front of you—that way you also don’t have to carry the $20 case.
