Sponsors - Ortlieb

---

Ortlieb are renowned for producing the best waterproof bags in the world for hikers, bikers, kayakers, photographers, you name it: Ortlieb has you covered - not only covered, but sealed.

I reckon the German word for waterproof - 'wasserdicht' - should be changed to 'Ortlieb', because this is the first word that pops into our minds (even in English) when we're holding a $7,000 video camera, in a kayak, and there's rain coming.

Through Ortliebs Australian outlet 'Active Planet', Nir, Brad and the rest of the crew have been inspirational in their dedicated backing of ALL Clark and Chris's journeys; supplying us with awesome gear. Most recently two completely submersible, padded camera backpacks to which we entrusted over $22,000 worth of electronics on our 2005 arctic expedition.

I can not speak highly enough of Ortlieb. It's fantastic gear!
