UGO® - Waterproof Gear We Use Aboard Roam
Waterproof messenger bags and device cases we use aboard Roam. Why we partnered with UGO Wear and how their lightweight gear fits into daily life on the water.
Waterproof Storage Built for Life on the Water
Life aboard means gear is constantly exposed to spray, rain, humidity, and salt air. We’re always looking for equipment that’s practical, durable, and purpose-built for wet environments.
UGO Wear designs waterproof messenger bags, tablet cases, and phone cases that are lightweight, marine-friendly, and built for everyday use on and around the water.
Their gear isn’t decorative boating gear — it’s functional protection for devices and essentials that actually move between boat, dock, dinghy, and shore.

Why We Use UGO Wear
When we first encountered UGO Wear at the Miami Boat Show, we were getting ready for our first season in the Bahamas and thinking about long-term usability.
We were looking for:
- Waterproof protection that doesn’t feel bulky
- Lightweight materials that won’t trap moisture
- Gear that can move easily between boat and shore
- Storage that doesn’t scream “technical dry bag”
The messenger bag stood out immediately — functional without being oversized, waterproof without feeling rigid.
Their tablet and phone cases offered similar practicality. On a boat, electronics are tools. They need protection that works quietly in the background.
How We Use UGO Wear Aboard Roam
UGO Wear gear travels with us daily.
- Moving between boat and marina office
- Carrying laptops and tablets ashore
- Protecting phones during wet dinghy rides
- Keeping important documents dry
The messenger bag has become our go-to for day-to-day movement off the boat.
It’s one of those pieces of gear you don’t think about — which is exactly what you want.
