Ive got some money to get a dry bag (house got stolen, a bag of mine got stolen among other things, insurance weirdly gave me some money to buy a new bag, reckon il put it towards a dry bag so).
Can anyone reccommend where I can get a god one for an alright price?... I would like it to last a long time, and have enough space for any gear I might one day own :-\ so maybe 70L kind of size? I have a smaller dry bag I could put anything I might have that needed to stay dry.
In my humble experience 100L is a nice size, not too big not too small, also don't think the palm dry bag's are that great.
Jer got himself and myself 100/120L ?? dry bags on the net for 35yoyo's i think it was. and touch wood their still going strong! they have straps und all!!
More importantly, did you find your house?
The "Bill's Bags" ones from i-canoe seem to be very good (I got one over the summer - working fine so far anyway). They are rucksack ones so easy to carry. They're not the cheapest though.
I wouldn't go for the palm ones, mine had 8 holes after a year and a half, and massive rips developed from picking it up by the handles when it was heavy.

me too
The second hand palm one I got back in second year is still going strong enough. It seems maybe just the new style palms are a bit shit.
just like the burn 2010, 10% worse then the 2009 burn
I've had a 100L palm one for about 5 years & no problems with it!
So yeah maybe go for an older 2nd hand one if yer going for Palm :-\

If you try and live in a dry bag you'll suffocate.
Kudos to whoever managed to steal your entire house. One wonders if folk that talented wouldn't be better served in a lawful profession.
Yeah I'm with Nuala on this one, Palm are cack dry bags!!

yeah it had emigrated to lahinch co sligo as it prefers the weather on the west coast ;)
i have the old style Palm one and the straps are about to tear off. Not recommended
I have a Palm one. When I leave it lying about with wet get in it a big pool begins to form under it.
75L is a nice size though.
Also, it might be that I haven't gotten used to it yet, but Rog might be right about the new Burn.
Got it here. (http://www.wetsuitoutlet.co.uk/) They don't seem to have that particular bag any more, just have a look around online though. If it's something that you don't have to try on and get a feel of yourself it's usually cheaper to ship it from Britain.
is gul a good brand?
seems you can get 100L ones a few places online for about 23-30Ã,£ and then shipping on top of that
I haven't had any problems with it so far and I don't think Eoghan has either. We've had them for about 6-8 months.
