The present disclosure relates to a high-performance, portable, flexible, collapsible, inflatable, insulative container with increased carrying capacity and the portability of a backpack. The container of the present disclosure is both collapsible as well as inflatable via the use of a non-leaking, substantially waterproof valve that facilitates air flow into and out of an insulative space of the container.

A kit is for towing through water by a swimmer to transport items, which comprises: an inflatable flotation device and a dry bag (32). The flotation device comprises, when inflated, a lead portion (10a), two spaced side portions (10b, 10c) each extending rearwardly from the lead portion, and attachment means. The dry bag (32), which may be separate to the flotation device, has an openable, water-tight closure. The side portions, when the device is inflated, and the dry bag are respectively shaped to cooperate so that the side portions provide support for the dry bag. The flotation device including the attachment means is arranged to attach the dry bag to the flotation device such that the closure (34) is located above a lead portion of the flotation device. The kit is attachable to a tow leash (32) such that a swimmer can tow the flotation device with the dry bag attached in water and such that the lead portion leads through the water.

A vacuum mount system a first vacuum device (12) configured for detachable connection to a portable electronic device (18), a second vacuum device (14) configured for detachable connection to a mounting surface (17), and a flexible connector (16) attached between the first vacuum device (12) and the second vacuum device (14).

An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure may also prevent any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. This construction results in an insulating chamber that is substantially impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

An exemplary electromagnetic shielded dry bag with magnetic closure system includes an outer bag, an inner shielding liner, and a pair of embedding strips having magnets embedded therein. The outer bag is preferably comprised of water-proof material and has a fluid-sealed floor portion and an access mouth disposed oppositely thereof. First and second bag panels are disposed oppositely of one another and extend from the floor portion to the access mouth. The inner shielding liner is comprised of electromagnetic shielding material and defines an electromagnetic shielding compartment within the bag. The embedding strips are secured to respective bag panels. This securement may be by way of heat fusing of respective securement elements to the inner faces, thereby forming pockets with which the strips reside. When the closure section is magnetically retained in closed configuration, the access mouth is thereby retained in an RF-sealed and fluid-sealed configuration to protect the shielding compartment.
