Title: Waterproof Epi Belt
Post by: QsMommy on January 07, 2013, 12:43:16 PM
Hi,

I am looking for a waterproof epi belt.  Previous posts have mentioned One spot allergy site (I think).  Currently, their website is down.

My 10yr old DS needs a belt for canoe camp that he can wear all day and possibly swim in (he forgets to take it off at camp, although he tries to remember), that is 100% waterproof.

TIA

Ali

Sporting goods stores have waterproof fanny-pack type carriers.  They are not designed specifically for epi-pens, but they are designed specifically for falling out of a canoe.

Just did a quick look at Mountain Equipment Co-Op.  Didn't find a waterproof waist pack, but did find Loksack Element Proof Storage Bags.

Thanks SL,

We have a version of the Loksack Element Proof Storage Bags that we use when canoeing. However, it is worn around the neck, not a good idea for camp. 

I will check the sports stores this week, thanks for the idea.

SCUBA shops would be another place to check for waterproof carriers.

ETA:  I bet this would work. http://www.overboardusa.com/waterproof-multipurpose-belt-pack.html (http://www.overboardusa.com/waterproof-multipurpose-belt-pack.html)
Under more images there's a pic showing it on a person - looks like it should be long enough to hold the epis and has a nice slim profile.
