A dry bag is chosen by how wet it will get as much as by its size. Most of the range closes with a roll top: fold the opening down at least three times, clip the buckle, and on several bags the rolled top becomes the handle. Some have heat-welded body seams instead of stitching, so there is no line of needle holes for water to work through. For a waterproof backpack on a wet walk or a river day, the roll-top packs hold 25 or 30 litres, and one has padded straps and a welded front pocket for keys. Other harness styles are in our backpacks.
Check what level of water each bag is made for. The orange bags carry a maker's IPX6 rating against heavy spray and water jets, not for going under, and the outdoor bags are likewise meant for rain and spray. The 20 L kayaking bag has a valve, so you can put air in it and it floats if you capsize. For a few days of camping gear in the ute, the waterproof duffel takes 60L on padded backpack straps; more holdall shapes are in our duffle bags.
The large phone bag comes in 2 L and 5 L, the bigger one with room for a towel, and its touchscreen window lets you use the phone without opening it. The clear PVC pouch fits phones from 3.5 to 6 inches, so you can keep taking photos at the pool or in the sea. The neoprene pouch is a different thing: it guards a phone against scratches and knocks, not water. The first aid bag is 500D PVC with a reflective cross that a head torch picks out, and a carabiner for a belt loop or shoulder strap.
The large sack takes up to 70 litres, enough for a sleeping bag, a mat and a change of clothes in one sealed load. The outdoor bag comes in 9, 15 and 20 litres, and the first aid bag in five sizes. The black bag weighs 50 to 75 g and packs into a jacket pocket, so it can stay in your pack all winter. Colours run from black, green and army green to orange, yellow and pink.
Dry bags keep water out. For the water you drink on a paddle or a long ride, pair one with a hydration pack.
