Anyone used these ?

I have some drybags, small, which are dry but the bigger ones are not ! So need one big bag to fit most kit in eg tent, sleeping bag and clothes. This is for open canoe trips, on open and white water.

I got one of these Nick when I got some Amazon vouchers through work ...

Those military ones look nice though, mine's a royal blue colour

Yip, looks nice. Most of my dry bags are dry on trips If the boat gets swamped etc but the biggest drybags, cheap, are not. Just don't have the airtight seal.

So I presume it's been dry ?

Only used it once in mild Loch Lomond drizzle.

It's a tough thing though and I expect it to last a good few years. I nearly bought a couple of SealLine packets out in Canada but then talked myself out of it.

The Alpkit Drydocks are good but there's no mention of the being available for a while

Cool. I have a yellow 45l lomo holdall drybag and as long as it's pretty full, it's dry.

Ideally a drysuit zipped large robust bag that is opened along the top eg so it's easy to get kit our rather than empty the bag out, is what I'm looking for, 80l would allow all kit in it.
