I had previously written a bad review regarding a two year old dry sack that was leaking. I assumed it was out of warranty. I have to say that S2S proactively reached out to me and asked for more details/pictures and ended up sending me a new dry sack. Based upon this world class customer service, I have changed my score to five stars. This is how to build a brand as I have since told this story to many folks. Great stuff and thank you S2S.

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.

Purchased two 2L drybags for my wife and I, to hold our smart phones, wallets, keys etc. We normally store our drybags in the day hatch of our Kayaks. While practicing our rolls, it’s understandable that some water will get into our day hatches. That’s expected. What wasn’t expected was that water got into my drybag, soaking my phone. Jury is still out on whether I’ll be able to get the phone back up and running. If not……$500 gone.After getting home I did a leak test on both bags. Filled them up with water to see if any would leak out. Unfortunately, both leaked like a sieve. These bags are NOT waterproof, as water permeated through the fabric, and not the seams. Totally disappointed with this product. Will not buy another. BTW, these drybags were only purchased 2 ...

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 probably ... 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. It says it's waterproof, but it isn't.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.
Needed a 35L dry sack for my emergency vehicle pack. Needed something light and sturdy. This dry sack worked just right with room to spare. All my gear plus food bag fit perfectly in my backpack. The quality is great and the size was as well. I do recommend theses lightweight dry sacks.
I bought two 20 liter sacs to replace older heavy duty vinyl ones. Much improved. Softer sides makes them easier to pack and white interior easier to find things. Light duty.Only trouble is one buckle came apart. Fortunately I noticed it and could reassemble on river. Tightened both bucks and no problems since.
The Big River Dry Bags are perfect for my canoe and kayak trips. SUP's too. They are tough, water tight, durable and the tie down grommets make for a dry secure load. I bought several sizes and like them so much, bought more to give as gifts. Everyone loves them.I also bought several different size Lightweight Dry Sacks, and am just as happy with them. I do a lot of 2- 7 day overnight backpacking trips in Maine, New Hampshire & Vermont. The bags are used constantly.
These are really a fantastic product. Lightweight, durability proportionate to the weight and field serviceable buckles. I have an assortment of sizes and colors, and have used them for bicycle touring, motorcycle touring, overlanding, kayaking, hiking, cross country skiing and and travel when I have concerns about my gear being exposed to rain or similar moisture.
We throw both of our medications, contacts, retainers, IDs, and keys in this bag, toss it in a backpack and hit the trail. It keeps everything dry in the rain and it rolls down into the perfect size for travel. Very versatile and lightweight…I love that I can fill it to the brim with stuff or collapse it down into almost nothing. I would absolutely reorder this bag in a heartbeat. Quality is solid, and bag weighs next to nothing.
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.
