searching for dry bags

[Man of Tanith]

Evening all.
I'm hoping the collective minds of bcuk could recommend me some decent dry bags.
I need a minimum of three.
a small un to hold camera phone fak including a field dressing and note pad and pencil.
a medium one to hold a spare set of clothing. From inner layers to bulky warm layers.
and finally one large enough to hold a woodlore osprey sleeping bag.

I dont want to pay massive amounts
not fazed by colour.
Any suggestions?

Ortileb do some fantastic dry bags, got a huge one for the canoe, not sure about your sizes but I think they do a large range .

Meant ortileb, sorry (autocorrect)

I got a set of these Exped dry bags a couple of years back. Seen a lot of use, no issues.

Not sure how big the Osprey packs down too but its a good set with very usable sizes.

I can recommend these guys in Scotland:

I have a small dry bag that I use for my mobile etc which has been great. Plus a large bag that I have used for 2 years now every week for scuba gear and rugby kit and it's been fantastic.
Oh and they're cheap and come in horrible colours!

Tamarack had an offer on for Exped drybags at £6.90 for 40litres, and another size iirc

Been through this last year.
Karrimor (http://www.sportsdirect.com/outdoor-equipment/rucksacks/dry-bags-and-rain-covers) are half price at field and trek/sports direct. But not very durable and heavy compared to decent ones. I have 6 of them in different sizes and almost all have a small nick, scuff somewhere.
Exped and sea to summit (http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/equipment/rucksacks/drybags-raincovers) are the best so far, light and strong, but very very expensive.

Best price/quality ratio is with Alpkit. Same parameters and materials but for a fraction of the price:

I have a couple of the smaller ones you can have Sam but I don't think I've a spare big enough for your Osprey, send me your addy and I'll get them posted

 

[ozzy1977]

Ortlieb are probably the best out there, but the most expensive.

 

[BigMonster]

And the heaviest.....

I've had no problems with Exped dry bags.

The exped ones are good, but the karrimor ones from sportsdirect are adequate as long as you look after them. I have a mix of the both and are used to pack my kayak for trips. No problems with either and they have sat in puddles and still kept my gear dry. although there is a notable difference in build quality with exped being the better of the two brands. For my sleeping bag I use a heavy duty ortlieb dry bag(heavy duty but also penalised with the extra weight if your backpacking and using ortliebs, not so much of an issue if you are just loading up a canoe or kayak.

I vote Exped, light, fairly cheap, quiet. for individual smaller items and map case etc I have been using loksaks. Granted these don't last as long as ortlieb and similar as I would like and are a bit pricey, but they do work.

 

[Alreetmiowdmuka]

Aye thexped ull doit

 

[tiger stacker]

And the heaviest.....

They do a thin version with a balck stripe though.

 

[BigMonster]

For car, boat ortlieb would be bomb proof.
But for backpacking alpkit ones are really good.

Sports Direct have an okay range: http://www.sportsdirect.com/outdoor-equipment/rucksacks/dry-bags-and-rain-covers
