What are dry bags and tubes used for?

Dry bags and tubes are designed to keep your gear and valuables safe from water, mud, and sand. They're perfect for activities like kayaking, hiking, sailing, and camping, ensuring your clothes, electronics, and food stay dry in wet environments.

How do you properly close a dry bag to keep contents dry?

To ensure a watertight seal, fill your dry bag, then roll the top down at least three times before clipping the buckle shut. Avoid overfilling the bag for the best closure, and always check for leaks before heading out.

Which size dry bag do I need for my adventure?

Choose a dry bag size based on your activity and gear. For day hikes, 5–10L bags work well; for weekend trips, consider 20–30L bags. Larger 50–100L bags are ideal for group gear or longer expeditions. It's better to have a little extra space than not enough.
