It can also be submerged 5 metres underwater for up to half an hour without ruining your read. $31 (20 British pounds; Aquapac ships to Canada), aquapac.net

Portage through riverbeds and wetlands and its durable neoprene uppers and EVA footbeds will keep feet warm and comfortable, while drainage holes allow excess water to seep out with each step. $95, mec.ca
