This lightweight, IPX7-rated case offers robust protection against rain, mud, and water splashes while maintaining a flexible design that remains functional in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. While its lightweight construction makes it highly portable at just 85g, users should be aware that the flexible material requires careful handling to avoid accidental punctures or deep scratches.

FAQs
Is the Silva Waterproof Lite Map Case completely submersible?
It features an IPX7 rating, meaning it is protected against the effects of immersion in water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
Will my large topographical map fit inside?
The Large variant is designed to accommodate standard full-sized maps, though it is best to check your map dimensions against the product's internal capacity.
Can I use this in extreme winter cold?
Yes, the material is specifically engineered to remain flexible and functional in temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius.
How do I secure the case to my kayak?
Use the provided red elastic cord and the Duraflex cord-stopper to tie the case to your deck rigging.
Is the material UV resistant?
While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade plastic over time. It is recommended to store the case inside your pack when not in active use.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty operating the touchscreen
Ensure the case surface is clean and dry. Moisture on the outside can sometimes interfere with capacitive touch sensors.
Zip-lock seal is hard to close
Check the seal track for debris or dirt particles. Wipe with a damp cloth and re-attempt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your map case, always double-check that the zip-lock seal is fully engaged before heading out. When inserting maps, avoid forcing oversized items to prevent stress on the seams.
For cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid abrasive scrubbers that could cloud the transparent film. Store the case lying flat or rolled loosely to prevent permanent creases in the material. Keep it away from high-heat sources like campfires or heaters, as the material can warp or melt.
