[Quixoticgeek]

Quicky question, does anybody know which dry bags are the best fit for a PLCE side pocket?

Thanks

Are those the sort of roll top dry bags? I can't quite make it out from the picture.

No they are draw string close and nor taped, not waterproof just resistant.

Just search for dry bags on ebay and you'll find a lot, go for 20 litre.

The issue ones are not roll-top, but they work fine unless you're expecting full immersion; in that case any good quality 10 - 15 litre roll-top ones are the ones you need. There's a great many available and the best of them are spendy, but unless you're going to be doing seriously wet stuff continuously they're overkill, in my view. For foul weather protection, the issue ones are fine, especially in combination with a 'sack cover.

That was my reason for asking, there are so many on the market that supposedly have the right capacity for the side pocket, but I am also aware from a dud purchase in the past, that not all of them fit.

I do seem to find myself in wet environs more than I perhaps should, hence wanting the dry bag.

Ortlieb do a few versions, although it comes down to price Vs weight.

Dont forget to see aldi/lidl for the bright ones they sell.

Current issue is roll top seal, draw cord are slowly being phased out.

Karrimor SF do them specifically for the pockets. They come in pairs for about 15-16 quid.
