Why We Like The Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Bag
Lightweight and waterproof, the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Bags are made to keep our gear dry and organized inside a backpack or travel duffel. The translucent fabric lets us see the contents easily while the roll-top closure compresses our belongings and protects them with a watertight seal. These bags are not submersible and not intended for paddling and watersports. However, their 2K waterproof rating and seam-sealed construction keep our clothes, sleeping bags, electronics, and other gear dry when we're out backpacking, bikepacking, or traveling.

Eliminates the need for a pack cover and keep your stuff organized
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These super ultralight dry bags solved a riddle for a two week trek that I was trying to keep light and fast. Instead of organizing into Ziploc or other bags and having to carry a pack cover in case of rain these beauties pull double duty and do both. The different colors help keep things organized and easy to find in my pack.

Thank you!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks for sending me a replacement bag after the bird attack accident! You let us keep the destroyed bag and my mom cut it apart and made a miniature version for an 18 in doll. :)

Fine but wish they made a long, narrow bag for sleeping pads.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to buy the biggest bag for our sleeping pads to get the needed length but there is a lot of excess width. Why can't they make a long narrow bag for sleeping pads? Don't people use roll up pads anymore? I don't want to use the bladder kind cause they can fail too easily. Otherwise, the best lightweight dry bag I could find. I have them in smaller sizes for the sleeping bags and that's fine.

Great piece of gear
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I'm currently using this sil dry bag as a bear bag with a nylofume liner. It is lighter than most bags for that purpose which is a huge plus and for the 3 times I've used it (once it rained) everything stayed dry inside the bag. It's easy to get things into and out of, and I know it's not designed for it but works well for hanging in a tree until my bearicade comes in.

Dry bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using dry bags for anytime I travel but especially for backpacking. I used my Ultra-sil dry bag on a trip on the Amazon river in Brazil and it performed as needed! All my stuff stayed dry and I liked having a bright color to differentiate from my other stuff/dry sacks.
