Dry Bag

What is a dry bag?

A dry bag is a waterproof storage sack designed to keep gear and supplies completely dry during outdoor activities. Made from waterproof materials like vinyl or coated fabrics, it features a roll-top closure that creates a watertight seal when folded and clipped. Campers and hikers use dry bags to protect essential items like electronics, clothing, sleeping bags, and food from rain, river crossings, or accidental submersion during water-based activities.
