What to Consider When Choosing a Dry Bag?

Choose based on how much gear you typically carry:

  • 5–10L: Keys, phone, snacks, towel, small essentials
  • 20L: Day trips, beach gear, light clothing
  • 30L: Weekend use, bulkier items, towels + clothes
  • 40–55L: Travel, boating, longer trips
  • Single-Strap Sling: for fast, grab-and-go movement
  • Backpack Straps: for hands-free carrying
  • Duffle-Style Handles: for easier loading into boats or vehicles

Look for:

  • Heavy-duty waterproof PVC or TPU
  • Reinforced seams
  • Durable buckles and attachment points
  • Abrasion-resistant exterior
  • Roll-Top Closure: The gold standard for waterproofing
  • Secure Clips: Keeps the seal tight
  • D-Rings: For attaching to boats, ATVs, or paddle boards

Different sizes and styles fit different situations:

  • Water Sports: Kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing
  • Travel: Airports, road trips, rain protection
  • Outdoor Recreation: Camping, hiking, fishing
  • Beach Days: Towels, clothes, sunscreen, essentials
