Product Description

The updated Lightweight Dry Bag is Sea to Summit's most versatile design. It's flexible in both senses of the word- soft and pliable and ideal for many different uses. Made from a bluesign® approved recycled 70D nylon with a C0 non-PFC DWR finish, the interior polyurethane coating is white to improve visibility and make it easy to find small items in poor light.

Lightweight Dry Bags are available in various colours to optimise colour-coded packing. They use the same hypalon non-wicking roll-top closure as our other dry sacks and feature a D-ring attachment point at the buckle. The oval base prevents the dry bag from rolling away on sloping surfaces. Ideal for backpacking, cycle touring, travel, ski touring and more. 

Features:

  • bluesign® APPROVED recycled 70D nylon fabric uses a PFC-free DWR finish
  • Light-reflecting white interior for better visibility of gear
  • NEW oval base prevents rolling away and packs better
  • D-ring attachment point at buckle for securing to boats, bikes, kayaks
  • Replaceable repair buckle - 15mm 2-pin.

We use this bag for our 15m tow lines - the bag is available with the plastic eyelet pre-inserted.

Is this dry bag waterproof?

The body of the dry bag is waterproof (10,000 mm hydrostatic head). However, avoid submersion since water can seep through the roll-top closure of any dry bag.

Is this dry bag suitable for paddle sports?

Absolutely. The tough nylon material on this dry bag is perfect for water sports. Just be cautious around sharp objects or abrasive surfaces.

 

Proper Use:

  1. Any roll-top dry sack must be closed properly to ensure water can’t get in. Begin by folding the Hypalon® strip down first and be sure to have at least three rolls before closing the buckle.
  2. Avoid contact with sharp objects or subjecting the sack to high abrasion, as this could compromise the waterproof fabric. Keep your kayak compartments sand-free to reduce abrasion.
  3. Like all manufacturers of roll-top, fabric dry sacks, Sea to Summit recommends that sensitive electronic devices be ‘double bagged’ (i.e. putting electronics inside one dry sack then placing this inside a second dry sack). For maximum protection, the use of a waterproof hard case should be considered.
  4. Not intended for situations where dry sack will be submerged under water. (keep it in your hatch!)

SEA TO SUMMIT LIGHTWEIGHT DRY SACK - The Kayak Shop Australia - The Truth about Dry Bags... (02:31)
SEA TO SUMMIT LIGHTWEIGHT DRY SACK The Truth about Dry Bags... http://eastcoastkayaking.com.au/dry-bags#drybag-compression “hmmm...Semi Dry…Bag” These dry bags are of a lighter weight fabric so they weigh less but are not as durable as the Baja bags. In a commercial setting (ie. frequent use) they last 2 years. Sea To Summit Lightweight Dry Sacks are available in a range of sizes: 1, 2, 4, 8, 13 and 20 litre. I commonly use an 8L for my Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Sleeping Mat.They are useful for a range of soft items such as clothes and food - nothing with sharp edges to poke through the bag. When sealing them up, squeeze as much air out as possible and fold the top over at least three times before clipping the buckle. The watertightness of these bags is not perfect as they rely on merely being folded and clipped - there is no watertight seal so if the bag is likely to be immersed (in a canoe, open kayak or stowed in cockpit) you should use additional waterproofing methods such as lining with a tied-off heavy duty garbage bag. To prolong the life of your lightweight dry bags ensure that your fore and aft compartments are clean of sand and there are no exposed sharp points (such as the deck fittings screws) to tear or abrade the bags.
