Dry Bag
« on: November 04, 2010, 13:10:41 »
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
