SEA TO SUMMIT LIGHTWEIGHT DRY SACK
The Truth about Dry Bags... eastcoastkayaking.com.au/dry-b...
“hmmm...Semi Dry…Bag”
These dry bags are of a lighter weight fabric so they weigh less but are not as durable as the Baja bags. In a commercial setting (ie. frequent use) they last 2 years.
Sea To Summit Lightweight Dry Sacks are available in a range of sizes: 1, 2, 4, 8, 13 and 20 litre. I commonly use an 8L for my Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Sleeping Mat.They are useful for a range of soft items such as clothes and food - nothing with sharp edges to poke through the bag.
When sealing them up, squeeze as much air out as possible and fold the top over at least three times before clipping the buckle. The watertightness of these bags is not perfect as they rely on merely being folded and clipped - there is no watertight seal so if the bag is likely to be immersed (in a canoe, open kayak or stowed in cockpit) you should use additional waterproofing methods such as lining with a tied-off heavy duty garbage bag.
To prolong the life of your lightweight dry bags ensure that your fore and aft compartments are clean of sand and there are no exposed sharp points (such as the deck fittings screws) to tear or abrade the bags.
