Outdoor Research Hydroseal Dry Sacks

Outdoor Research Hydroseal Dry Sacks description

Adventuring through lakes, streams, headwaters, swollen rivers, or rainforests without the Outdoor Research Hydroseal Dry Sack is beyond uncivilized. It's just not smart. The Hydroseal-200 coated Antron nylon is waterproof, durable, and seam taped rendering it totally impermeable to water. You need reliable bombproof gear when you're paddling big water; the roll-top waterproof closure features a durable, dependable buckle that won't let you down. All Hydroseal Dry Sacks come with a webbing bottom handle and an external daisy chain so you can easily tie-up, tie-down, tie-to, chain-together, throw-around, and manhandle these dry bags any way you see fit.

I have two of these sacs and have used them on multiday rafting trips. Keep stuff absolutely dry. Had doubts about the durability of the outer layer of the bags, but they are definitely more durable than they appear - plenty of tossing and throwing onto rocks unloading the boat and no signs of wear on the bags. The daisy chain is a smart, useful add-on.

They're sacks. They keep your stuff dry. They have loops on the side so you can secure them. What's not to love here? The Outdoor Research Hydroseal Dry Sacks do what you buy them to do and they look good doing it. Ever been on vacation and decide to take a cheesy kayak tour out in the bay and they hand you the very ugly, very plastic-looking dry sack that is such a monster you risk getting your stuff wet rather than using it? This sack is the opposite of that.

These are the best dry sacks I have ever used. I've taken them to the Boundary Waters in MN and to a little island in Lake Champlain. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, great! They are light, durable, and, most important, watertight. They're also really easy to clean.
