Product Information
Full details
The YETI Sidekick Dry 3L is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, and adventurers who need to keep essential small items completely dry in unpredictable environments. Its primary benefit is the combination of magnetic and hook-and-loop closure systems that provide a reliable, waterproof seal for valuables like phones and wallets. The main caveat is the compact 3L capacity, which limits its use to smaller gear items rather than bulky equipment.

FAQs
Is the YETI Sidekick Dry fully submersible?
While it features a 100% waterproof seal, it is designed for water resistance in splash-prone environments and should not be used for intentional, long-term underwater submersion.
Can it fit an iPhone or Android device?
Yes, the 3L interior is spacious enough to accommodate most standard and larger smartphones, along with keys and a wallet.
How do I clean the interior?
The interior can be wiped out with a mild soap and water solution using a damp cloth; ensure it is completely air-dried before storing items.
Does it float if dropped in the water?
The case is not specifically designed as a flotation device, so it may sink depending on the weight of the items packed inside.
What is the best way to attach this to other gear?
The Sidekick Dry features integrated attachment points that allow it to be easily secured to YETI Hopper coolers or other modular gear systems.
Troubleshooting
Seal does not seem to click into place
Check the magnetic strips for dirt or debris and wipe them clean with a soft cloth.
Difficulty opening the case
Apply gentle, even pressure to the sides of the magnetic closure rather than pulling strictly from the center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Sidekick Dry requires no complex setup; it is ready to use out of the box. Simply place your items inside, ensuring you do not overload the pockets to allow the closure to seal fully. To maintain the waterproof integrity, occasionally wipe the seal area with a damp cloth to remove any sand, salt, or mud that could interfere with the magnets or hook-and-loop closure. Store the case in a cool, dry place when not in use and avoid leaving it in extreme heat for extended periods, as this can degrade the sealing materials over time.
