Map Case Large has a Velcro strap along the short sides so that you can fold it in half, for easier handling. The watertight zip lock makes them very easy to open and Close.
Our Verdict
Silva's Map Case L uses a really tough seal to keep its contents dry. You could use this for more than just your maps, but as a map case it uses a really clear pvc that does really well not to completely distort whats inside.
