Nice size for a canoe floor bag and love the see-through panel BUT the buckle broke within the first two days of use. Fortunately, I had a small carabiner on hand, because a dry bag that doesn't close is useless. Will be returning and replacing with a different branc.

I decided to replace a set of packing cubes with these dry sacks and I'm not going back. The packing cubes (a different brand) were made for lumping like items together, so that a medium cube was too small for an outfit and a large too big. The result was one outfit would be spread across 3 to 4 packing cubes. These sacks solve that. I have 7 sacks that I store one outfit in and roll/compress down to conform to the outfit. I can reach into my pack/duffel/luggage and grab one sack with the outfit I want using the viewing panel. All and all a far more flexible, but uniform organization system for all forms of travel. Very happy with these sacks.

I bought several of these for a 115 mile kayaking expedition. They were great for easily finishing what I need. One of them got caught on some sharp plastic in the kayak bulkhead and got a small hole but I think it can be fixed. I should have packed it with the window facing down. These dry bags really saved my gear. Especially on days it rained. I ordered several 20L, 13L , and 8 L for a 14 touring Kayak. Tent in the 20. Clothes and food in the 13L, day hatch times in the 8L.

I've typically used regular dry sacks for backpacking and bikepacking but decided to get something that would make digging out my belongings easier. Too bad they don't come in other colours than blue and yellow (green or brown would have been nice) but that's minor. The material would probably puncture somewhat easily but I tend to baby my equipment so this hasn't been an issue for me. The welding at the window edges has been good on the four bags I bought. I'm able to fit my sleeping bag in its compression sack and a couple of other belongings in one bag, hopefully that gives you an idea of its real-world holding capacity.
Great small dry sacks for camera gear! 1,2, &4 L sizes are great to hold batteries, caps, lens cloths, chargers, small tools, and lunch. Able to see what’s on each bag with the windows. Durable so no worries of punctures through the bags or spills onto camera gear. Photographers should be using these more!
Is anything completely waterproof? This bag isn't, but it's not bad either.I'm grateful to Sea to Summit for sending me the item at no cost to me in exchange for an honest review of the item. So I decide to put it through some tough testing. I'm really curious about the claim of being "waterproof" that is so prominent on the label.I started with two very tough tests on this bag: I filled the bag full of wadded up paper and some socks, then sealed it up and sunk it in a sink and let it sit overnight. The next morning I checked it out and the paper had beome somewhat wet.The second test I stuffed it completely full of paper and sealed it up agaain. After I put it in the sink, I could squeze air out of it--which tells me if air can get out, then water can ... MoreIs anything completely waterproof?

The next morning I checked it out and the paper had beome somewhat wet.The second test I stuffed it completely full of paper and sealed it up agaain. After I put it in the sink, I could squeze air out of it--which tells me if air can get out, then water can probably get in. I let it sit for several hours and came back. All of the paper was soaked and there was about a cup of water inside the bag.Maybe I'm expecting too much from the product. Maybe I'm not sealing it properly. Both are possibilities.On the sealing up of the bag: I was disappointed that the instructions were on the reverse side needed to follow them easily. If the instructions were on the other side of the bag, then the picture in the instructions would match the bag as you hold it--but it's not that way. The picture is on the opposite side so you have to look at the picture in the bag and then reverse it in your mind to seal it up right.For a third test, I decided to fill the bag up with water and seal it up, then put it in a large bowl (upside down) and let it sit for 1 hour. I would then see how much water leaked out. If it's going to keep water out, it also needs to keep water in. As I had feared, after one hour there was a good amount of leakage--nearly 1/2 a cup (100 ml) had drained out. Which means it could also drain in.I consider the possiblity that I'm doing it wrong--that's always something to consider! So I watch a few online videos. One recommends putting five to six folds in the top, another recommends putting your gear inside a plastic garbage bag and then putting that bag inside the dry bag. A third video doesn't tell me anything.So for my next test, I stuff with paper again, squeeze the air out, and put six rolls in the top. I toss it in the shower for 15 minutes to simulate a rainstorm. After 15 minutes I pull it out and the paper is wet--not soaked completely, but plainly wet. Certainly "dryer" than if I had put the paper in the shower without the bag at all--but the stuff's still very wet. It's at this point I think to myself that if I had actually paid for this product I'd take it back for a refund.I set up one final test: A bag in a bag. I get a common household garbage bag and stuff it in the dry bag, then stuff the garbage bag with paper. I then tie the garbage bag to stuf in the dry bag, and seal the dry bag as instructed. I then place it in a vessel of water to see how it performs.Immedaitely I find out that there is a good amount of air trapped in the garbage bag that I can't really "press out" easily and it is clumsy to work through. I do my best, but a good amount of air is trapped in the dry bag. I also wonder what happens in the field when I want to get at my gear in the bag and then re-close the bag--does the garbage bag survive being opened and closed multiple times.The final results of this test were that after two hours the inner garbage bag tied up DID keep everything inside of it dry, but the material between the garbabge bag and the dry bag had a good amount of moisture.I did not complete any tests on the strenght of the dry bag, but it does appear to be sturdy and durable. It certainly stands up to basic use without tearing, unlike a garbage bag alone.Good points:1) It collapses down very small and makes for a very nice container for water. I'm pretty good at bushcraft, but it's kind of hard to make a "bucket" out in the field.2) It keeps stuff "mostly dry" -- better than nothing at all.3) It is easy to open and close.4) It is easy to pack and unpack.5) Because air tends to get trapped in the bag, most of the time as regular pack of gear will float in water.6) If a buckle breaks, it can be replaced -- although I not test that feature.Not-so-good points:1) It isn't waterproof.2) It can trap air and become bulky to pack (although this leads to good point #5 above).3) The buckling system of rolling then buckling is awkward and takes up space in the pack.Conclusions:It's better than nothing, and coupled with a secondary bag such as a garbage bag, it can be a useful tool on trips where you expect the peril of extreme water--kayak, canoe, or rainforest hiking. I wouldn't trust it alone to keep gear dry--especially electornics gear. However, I'll use it on such trips because that coupled with a secondary bag is really just about the only hope you have--alternatives are just not available.I'm not saying I wouldn't use it--I am saying that i wouldn't use it by itself and expect it to keep the contents completely dry.PLUS: A number of the reviews here are showing total success in keeping gear dry, and that is consistent with reviews on other websites. There may be tips and tricks that I have missed.
I love these dry sacks! I own several in different sizes now. The clear viewing window on these is so handy. Being able to see what exactly is in the bag without having to tear everything apart is a god-send, especially when you're on a multi-day kayaking trip with a ton of dry bags to go through. The other thing I love about these is how light-weight they are. I've got other dry bags that are made of a thicker material and they are significantly heavier and less malleable. The material on these is much thinner but still very durable. Everything stays dry - no leaks. I cannot recommend these enough, you won’t be disappointed.
These are epic, it is SO nice to see what youre digging through your gear for and then being able to place it back how it was! Pair up with the free 1/2/4 Yellow/Green/Blue sacks by getting a few different colors and you'll be able to talk your friends onto whatever it is they need without misplacing heavy items that could mess up a long walk under load! "Main compartment black Sack, or side pocket red rack" etc etc
I am using this currently on my 5 week backpacking trip in Europe and use it to store my dirty laundry and wash my laundry in it with detergent sheets. It works great for that reason and that's why I give it 5 stars. I originally wanted like a 20L but after getting this, thank GOD I ended up with this one. Perfect size to store clothes or laundry on the go with great waterproofing. I looks like it will hold up over time, but we shall see.
I have used your products for over a decade and have been extremely satisfied with their design and quality. However, in November 2021, I purchased two View Dry Sacks and one First Aid Dry Sack. After two journies, ten and twenty-two days, one has failed (the window separated from the fabric already, and the other two have frayed fabric fibers. All three have mold spots on the exterior. Dry bags I purchased 15 years ago have been used extensively and have fared better; they even survived a six months kayak journey on the Amazon River without a sign of mold.
