For years I had a North Water deck bag, and was quite satisfied with it, as it didn't take up a lot of space and had a relatively low profile. Well made, too. When I got my Epic, I needed an even lower profile so as not to obscure the view of my deck compass, so I now have a Seals mesh bag. Also very well made, but, being mesh, there is no shielding at all from spray so I keep only waterproof and sunproof items in the bag.
