THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RUGGARD.
The Ruggard Portable Dry Case protects your lenses, photographic and optical equipment, mobile electronics, and other valuables from excessive moisture. Using the included rechargeable dehumidifier, you can reduce the interior relative humidity to help prevent fungus and corrosion from damaging your gear. The case offers silent operation with no fan or compressor, and the unit is dripless, so there’s no need for a water tray. Grab the case and bring it with you to your next location shoot, and keep your equipment sealed and protected against moisture-rich climates.
