Frequently Asked Questions

What are dry bags used for?▾

Dry bags reliably protect equipment, clothing, and electronics from water, moisture, sand, and mud. They are used for kayaking, canoeing, sailing, rafting, stand-up paddling, at the beach, when camping, as well as on trekking and travel tours.

What sizes of dry bags are available?▾

The range extends from small pouches for valuables and smartphones to medium models for day trips, to large dry bags that can hold sleeping bags, clothing, and camping gear. The common volume specifications help you find the right size for your intended use.

How do I choose the right dry bag size for my activity?▾

Base your choice on the planned activity: For short paddling trips, small to medium models are sufficient. Multi-day expeditions or whitewater tours require larger volumes so that spare clothing, provisions, and equipment can be packed fully protected.

Are dry bags completely waterproof?▾

High-quality dry bags with roll closures and sealed seams are waterproof when handled correctly and can even withstand brief submersion. The requirement is a properly sealed closure, rolled at least three to four times.

Which material is best suited for dry bags?▾

High-quality dry bags are typically made of PVC-free nylon with TPU coating or similar durable, waterproof fabrics. Ripstop nylon provides additional tear resistance. For extreme use, reinforced fabrics and welded seams are recommended.

How do I properly seal and care for a dry bag?▾

To seal, tightly roll the opening at the top at least three to four times and snap the closure clip into place. After use, rinse with clear fresh water and allow to dry completely before storing the dry bag. This preserves the material properties and prevents mildew.

Can I also use dry bags as a backpack or bag in everyday life?▾

Many models feature shoulder straps, detachable carrying straps, or can be integrated into special carrying systems. This makes dry bags suitable as waterproof backpacks for everyday use, bike rides in the rain, or as flexible travel bags.

Which brands offer particularly durable dry bags?▾

Proven manufacturers such as Ortlieb, Sea to Summit, Watershed, OverBoard, and Exped stand for high-quality workmanship and durable materials. Depending on the area of use and budget, you'll find the right model from lightweight touring models to expedition-tested high-performance dry bags.
