Dry Bag

These are the best dry bags I've ever used. I recently went on a weekend trip in the Appalachians and it rained buckets. Lakes even. I used the small bag to hold all my clothes (a shirt, thermals, socks, bra, and sweat pants fit with more than enough room for a whole extra set of clothes), the medium sized bags held my down sleeping bag in it's stuff sack + my inflatable sleeping mat, with room for my electronics, and the largest size I let a friend borrow, and it fit his synthetic mummy, his clothes, and all of his water damageable electronics with a ton of room. The bags themselves are as light as a feather and extremely manipulable and soft (I used my clothes bag as a pillow, it worked well and held up to holding my head off the floor! Multi-useful!) Our tent was pretty small (two person) and the bet we made on these bags was pretty substantial. To have enough room to fit us and a friend to shelter from the rain, we just left our equipment in the bags outside the tent until we were ready for bed. Dry as a bone when we shook them off and pulled out our gear. We got in deep water at a creek crossing and it soaked my sleeping bag dry bag at the bottom of my pack - I was concerned about having a wet bed but I shouldn't have been. Dust dry! I recommended them to all my fellow hikers on this trip - worth every penny for the peace of mind!

Just received the product and it fits exactly what I need for an upcoming backpacking trip. I've not tried them in the weather yet, but they hold all my gear and stow well inside my backpack. These appear much better than the other waterproof bags I have that weigh significantly more.

These are great! They are as described. Great waterproof dry bags. Everyone in the fam tries to swipe them when we are packing for a trip.

I got this for a 3-day/2-night backpacking trip to use for hanging my food on the bear wire. It’s lightweight and the clip on it works well and is sturdy. It has a little loop on the buckle/clip where you can connect a carabiner. Issues I had that I think are worth noting: while the bag material itself seems durable enough for holding heavy food, it doesn’t seem like it will hold up to brushing against blackberry thorns. It might not be designed to, though, and I recognize that. The other thing is the water proofing. So water beads off if I dribble water onto it and if I dunk it it does stay dry on the inside.. but it’s worth noting that my water bottle got condensation while inside the bag and that seeped through to the outside of the bag. Seems like if it’s exposed to water for long enough, water will penetrate. I’m not sure I trust this bag to hold up to heavy rain overnight. Otherwise, the waterproofing seems to work well. Good for beginners and shorter trips. I was able to fit 5 freeze dried meals plus a gallon zip lock packed full of other foodstuffs including fresh fruit, granola bars and three 8oz almond milks. Very roomy.

I LOVE these. I am an avid mountain-climber (Sierras, etc) and hiker. Gradually, I have been getting on the "ultra-light" bandwagon - so that I can devote more pack weight to technical equipment on solo trips. These carrier-bags just work. When rain/snow is a threat, one bag gets my sleeping bag and extra base/insulating layers/etc. The smaller sac is a great catch-all for cooking, first-aid, extra paracord, patch-tape, etc. They are not as UL as dyneema - but way cheaper, and they kept my gear dry during monsoonal rains on a 5d hike in WY back country. I can't speak to their durability - but they seem very well made. Only 4 stars for Light Weight because again, I would only consider dyneema or the like 5 stars. This is the next best thing.

Great for any activity near the water where you're belongings might get wet. I'll go kayaking a lot and use it every time I go. Keeps my belongings nice and dry. Does exactly what it says it does. Good stitching and material

Using these one my motorcycle to help organize things and so far am loving them! they seem fairly well built and havent torn or ripped yet. Will update the review if anything happens but im happy for now at least!

Usually when a dry bag or any nylon-esque material claims to be waterproof, what they really means is that it is water resistant. It will be able to get light rain on it or get splashed but not be submerged under water. That’s normally reserved for a sea bag, which is made out of a heavier rubber or silicone material. Yet I’ve been able to leave this in the bathtub with the water running for ten minutes and the contents came out bone dry. I’ve even filled it with water and used it to carry back to my camp for later filtering. I would say these bags are about a half or even a third the weight of a regular dry bag, and if you’re using four or five of them to carry your gear, that weight can add up. My 20L and 10L bags seal up nicely with no air leaks and can be used as makeshift compression sacks too. These may not be quite as puncture or tear resistant as a heavier duty sea bag, but as long as you don’t put anything in with very sharp corners or edges, you should have no issue. Now I just need Wise Owl to offer them in bigger bags (35L, 40L anyone?) and maybe some different colors so I can differentiate what I have in each bag. Overall, I highly recommend these ultralight, very waterproof bags!

Worth the money!

Use this bag to stuff my down sleeping bag into while on winter road trips. Keeps it dry in case of emergency use. Good quality so far and should last many years.

Used in a kayak trip and they kept all our stuff dry.

Not waterproof. Bought several, all leak. Seriously?

Muy practica para traerla como bolsa de respaldo a prueba de agua dentro de una mochila o maleta de mano. Es muy ligera y resistente aun que no recomendaría solamente traerla para cargar los artículos que metas. No tiene cintas ni agarraderas para colgársela al hombro.
