If you're careful, you'll love these By FT Cricket from Melrose, Florida on 09/28/2008 Pros: Good Value, High Quality Best Uses: CanoeKayak overnights Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought a couple of these in different sizes for kayak camping trips. They have worked out very well and add little weight to your load. The air purge is a bonus at these prices. As the name implies, they are lightweight - not like the heavy vinyl dry bags - so they take some care if you want them to last. Bottom line - if you throw your gear around go with the heavier weight bags. If you're careful with your gear, you'll love these bags.
By Matt the Californian from East Bay, CA on 09/09/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Adventure Racing, Backpacking, Paddling, Photography Gear, Sailing Describe Yourself: Competitive Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great sack for the value. I recently used it on a kayaking expedition to hold my LowePro SlingShot 100 camera bag, and it worked great. [You can cram that thing in the smaller 15L bag, but it takes some serious pushing and tugging to get it in and out.]
They recommend you double up bags with electronics. Didn't test things with either one bag or two. In calmer waters, I typically went to one bag (for easier access), and the single bag had no problem repelling light water from the surf and paddling.
It's basically identical to the Pinata food storage bag, except for a couple of slight cosmetic differences and no hanging cord. But you could easly use this as a hanging bag, as the double hanging loops at the bottom are quite durable.
All and all, a great dry sack. I expect to log many miles with this sack.
By Michael G from West Burbs of Chicago, IL on 08/20/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Paddling Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I used these bags for a rafting trip on the Colorado river and canyon hiking trip in Zion in August. I had inadvertantly left one bag in the front of the paddle boat I was in. The front of the boat was hit with several large waves of water during the rapids desent completely drenching the bag. All items including my $$$ camera stayed perfectly dry. Easy to stow in any backpack as well, good product, good value. Get the larger bags (20,25L bags) the smaller bags will not store many items

... Great bags for motorcycle By Ron and Donna from Currently in rainstorm in Missouri ... on 07/06/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Motorcycling Luggage Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: We are 2000 miles into 6000 mile motorcycle trip using bags to carry sleeping bags, tent and air mattresses as well as alternative outer clothing (hot AZ, cold mountains of Colorado, rainy midwest to Alberta, Canada and return to AZ). Bags are strong rip-stop, waterproof so far, good closure and convenionet carry handle from the very creative method of closing. Carrying bags strapped onto a motorcycle with nylon straps, air relief valves allow the bags to be tightly compressed. And a great buy at Sierra.

Great for Kayak self-supports! By TJ from Boise on 06/20/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Paddling Describe Yourself: Professional Guide Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great for kayak self supports or backpacking. Material is strong ripstop, although with multiple years of use may develop wear spots. The air bladder lets you release air so that you can form bag into compact packable shapes. Great gear!
By BigD5401 from Kokomo, IN on 05/28/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Sailing Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use it to store my gear when I kayak. It is lightweight & easy to roll up.
By WXM from Manalapan, NJ on 05/28/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Tight Closure, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought the bag for a rafting trip. It worked great: light weight, large capacity. The bag was almost soaked in the water most of the time, but the goods inside were still dry. I even accidentally uncovered an unexpected feature - by not compressing all the air out, my lunch was still warm after two hours thanks to the air insulation. Hopefully the material will last as advertised...
