Our dry bags will keep your gear dry
Dry bags are built for wet conditions. When closed properly, our bags will keep your gear dry from rain indefinitely. If you're on a boat and experience lots of splashes and spray, these are ideal conditions for drybags.
If you drop your dry bag rucksack overboard it will most likely float (unless you have really heavy contents) allowing it to be retrieved with your gear still dry.
Our dry bags come in lots of styles
Our basic drybags come in a roll down style with no straps. Then you have options to choose a shoulder strap model or full rucksack style dry bag.
Dry bag holdalls are also very popular with motorcycle users and can easily be strapped to the back of a motorbike for easy transport.
Our dry bags have waterproof seams
Most of our drybags feature RF welded seams. This means there are no stitch holes for water to penetrate and the panels are fused together to make a watertight seam.
Some of our ultralight bags used seam taping to keep the water our and this is also very effective.
Our dry bags are easy to close
To close a dry bag simply roll down the top 3 times after expelling any excess air. Next clip the 2 fasteners together and that will close the bag sufficiently well to withstand rain and splashing.

Dry Bags FAQs
Dry bags are a type of luggage designed to keep the contents dry from rain and splashes experienced in outdoor activities.
They are made drom waterproof materials and have some form of waterproof seams to keep water out.
Most dry bags are waterproof and will keep rain and splashes out for a long period of time. They are not designed to be submerged in water for long periods but will normally be waterproof enough for brief immersions.
Most dry bags have a roll top closure. This means that in order to close the bag you roll the top by folding it 3 times before clipping the ends together. This provides a closure that is very resistant to letting rain and splashes inside.
Most dry bags are not designed to be submersible but many will keep your gear dry from brief immersions. Most drybags are designed to keep your gear dry from the rain and splashes encountered in outdoor activities. Most dry bags will float rather than sink as long as the contents are not too heavy and the need to be submersible is rarely required. Narrow mouthed tall dry bags will, in general, have a greater resistance to submersion than wide mouthed holdall style dry bags.
Most medium-heavy duty drybags with a barrel shape and roll down top would be classed as IP66. This means they can take as much rain as you can throw at it, they will probably float unless filled with something really heavy, and will withstand a brief total immersion.
Most dry bags are RF welded together to keep the seams watertight. Some lightweight bags are sewn together then have the seams taped to make them waterproof.
RF welding is a process of welding 2 materials together using a very high frequency of radio wave. It’s a bit like using a microwave oven to heat the seams up until they melt whilst at the same time applying high pressure to press them together.
Most dry bags are RF welded together but some lightweight bags are sewn together then seam taped.
Most drybags only use stitching on the straps etc. The main body of the bag will normally be welded together using RF (Radio Frequency) welding. This method fuses the seams together without making any holes in the bags for water to penetrate. Acessories such as straps that have been sewn together are then attached to the bag by RF welding at the end.
Some lightweight bags are not suitable for RF welding and are made my stitching them together then sealing the seams with seam tape. This is similar to how a waterproof jacket is made and is also a very effective way of keeping the seams dry.
Dry bags are very waterproof and should keep your gear totally dry from heavy rain. Most dry bags are not designed to be totally submerged or held underwater however most will allow a brief immersion without letting in water. Most drybags will float as long as the contents are not to heavy.
Dry bags come in a wide range of sizes measured in litres. Common sizes are 5l, 12l, 20l, 40l and 60l. Other sizes are also available and range from less than 1 litre right up to 150l.
Dry bags are most commonly used in outdoor sports to keep your gear dry. They are very popular in water sports such as kayaking and sailing where people wish to take dry clothing and other items along with them in a wet environment.
Dry bags are usually made from waterproof fabrics such as TPU, PVC, Coated Nylon or Coated Polyester.
Most dry bags have a roll down top closure. Firstly expel any excess air. Next roll the extra material down 3 half turns. finally clip the 2 ends together.
You can patch a hole in a drybags using a suitable material and adhesive to match the materials your dry bag is made from.
Simply wipe the bag clean with fresh water. If this is not enough gently wash in light soapy water and rinse clean with fresh water.
Most dry bags will float if dropped in the water but it will depend on how heavy the contents are. Roughly speaking, a 30L drybag will sink it it weighs 30kg or more and a 20kg bag will sink if it weight 20kg or more etc. It would be unusual for bags to be loaded so heavily so in most use cases your drybag should float if dropped overboard.
Most dry bags are not designed to be submerged but may be able to keep your gear dry for a short period if accidentally submerged. It is very rare a dry bag will be totally submerged as most bags will float if accidentally dropped into the water as long as the contents are not too heavy for the bag size. Dry bags with narrow round openings are more resistant to being submerged than wide straight openings like a holdall and the tighter you can make the roll down closure the more watertight the bag will be.
