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.

Bottom Line: There's a time and place for those run-of-the-mill stuff sacks, and then there are times when anything less than the Outdoor Research Hydroseal Dry Sack is just plain lunacy.

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.

Opening the package, I was a little disappointed at first. The material seemed weak and not very water proof. However, after my first kayaking trip with it, I was very impressed. The OR bag is lighter than the traditional rubber like material and is just as waterproof. Daisy chain on the outside is a great add on as well. Great drysack at a great price
