Here's what's new from Podsacs, the British brand with its roots in the Sheffield climbing scene of the early 80s. The focus is as usual on no frills durability, simplicity and functionality.

Waste Management System © Podsacs
The Waste Man
1.5L (£7.75) 4L (£8.75) and 10L (£10.25)

An innovative solution for biological and synthetic waste storage and transportation in the great outdoors! Available in sizes 10L, 4L and 1.5L the Waste Man is fully waterproof and airtight. The dual roll-top closure forms a secure seal and the outside of the sac carries a clear warning symbol to avoid confusion with other storage sacs. The sac has external D-rings so that it can be attached to the outside of a rucksack or off the ground. The contents can be transported safely until proper waste disposal facilities become available. This system avoids contaminating land and water and therefore the spread of disease.

First Aid Drybag © Podsacs
First Aid Dry Bags
1.5L (£7.50) 4L (£8.50)

A simple storage solution for first aid kits. Available in two sizes, they have roll-top closure and are fully airtight and waterproof. Designed to store a third-party, individual or group first aid kit and carrying the official ISO first aid logo - these bags are hard to miss. Made from tough 70D Nylon they have an internal bright white TPU coating that makes it easier to identify what you need in a hurry. External D-rings allow the drybag to be attached to the outside of a rucksack or on a hook for easy access, visibility and storage.

First thought in my head whilst reading the blurb on warnings, red colour etc was that we also need a textured finish so we can tell the difference in the dark!
