About Salty Kit
My Story
Salty Kit was born on the rugged North Cornish Coast in 2020, dreamed up and created by me, Nicola—just one woman with a love for creativity, the water, and the simple joy of being outdoors. As a paddleboarder, I found myself constantly frustrated by the same problem: every waterproof dry bag I could find was either overly corporate, covered in huge logos, or just… dull. Nothing felt like “me,” and nothing reflected the colour and freedom of the adventures I loved.
So, I decided to design my own.
I wanted to create a dry bag that looked amazing but also genuinely performed—something dependable, vibrant, and made with care. And that’s how Salty Kit came to life: with a desire to fill a small niche with something meaningful, stylish, and built to last.
Design Philosophy
Every waterproof dry bag I design starts with a simple question: Would I trust this on my own adventures?
My bags are made for real life on the coast—tested in saltwater, sand, and surf—and designed to balance technical reliability with bright, feel-good style. I pour my heart into creating products that not only work hard but also make you smile every time you pack up and head out.
Quality and Features
Each bag is produced in a BSCI-certified facility and held to high standards that ensure strength, durability, and complete waterproof protection using heat-welded seams. I include thoughtful touches like grab handles, inner pockets, and comfortable straps because I know from experience that the little things can make a big difference when you’re chasing adventure.
My Commitment
With every splash of colour and every carefully crafted seam, my goal is simple: to brighten your kit and support your journey—wherever the tide takes you. It means the world to me that Salty Kit is rated Excellent on Trustpilot by a growing community of adventurers who love the bags as much as I do.
I’m also a proud member of the Bluetit Chill Swimmers, whose encouragement and enthusiasm have been incredible, and “Buy Women Built,” a powerful network of inspiring women who share, support, and uplift one another.
Salty Kit is, at its heart, just me—one woman following a spark of an idea, fuelled by cold swims, salty hair, and a big belief in adventure.
