Adventure Tips
Choose the Right Size Bag
Select a dry bag size based on the length and type of your trip to ensure you carry all essentials while avoiding unnecessary bulk.
Seal Properly to Avoid Water Entry
Double-roll the bag’s opening and secure clips tightly to keep water completely out during river or rain exposure.
Keep Valuables in Smaller Bags
Use compact dry bags for items like phones, wallets, and cameras to access them quickly without opening large packs.
Test Your Bag Before Your Trip
Fill the dry bag with a towel or paper and submerge it briefly to check for leaks before relying on it in the field.
