Stikup Bubbleloc Rash Vest

Postby surfer999 » Thu Nov 16, 2006 4:10 pm

Been reading all the posts about how best to store keys and was interested in the Bubbleloc Rash Vest. Just wondered if anyone had this and if so, how they found it.

I have an electric car key so need it to be totally water tight (may well look into getting a manual key cut anyway though). Also liked the idea of not having a separate loose wallet to lose. I figure if its in my top I am unlikely to lose it!!!

Really just wanted some comments on whether this seems a good buy or not. Also is it uncomfortable to wear or awkward being over a wetsuit?

Thanks for any advice :P

All rash vests now have a PakPak waterproof wallet which is tested upto 50 meters and has an 8 year guarantee

waterproof pouch designed to keep your keys & immobiliser safe and dry, on your back


Firstly I've not tried one but that's the blurb from the stickup site. Looks to me like they are totally waterproof, I wonder if the 8 year guarantee would cover replacing your waterlogged car key?
The key pocket is on the back of the vest so this should be comfortable to surf in - just leave your house keys and big cuddly toy keyring at home or in the car.

It's a simple idea I am suprised it took so for a company to get one on the market. Great if they work.

I bought a waterproof pouch on a string that i just throw over my shoulder before i put my wetsuit on. Can't feel a thing so presume said rashy will be the same. I always wrap my key in tissue paper though incase it goes through the plastic.
