FAQs
Is this dry bag suitable for complete submersion?
No, the Sea to Summit Lightweight Dry Bag is designed for water resistance against splashes, rain, and temporary immersion, but not for prolonged or complete submersion.
How should I clean the dry bag?
Clean with mild soap and cool water using a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
What is the benefit of the oval base?
The oval base makes the bag more stable, preventing it from rolling away on sloped or uneven surfaces and improving its packability within other gear.
Can I attach this bag to my backpack?
Yes, the bag features a D-ring attachment point at the buckle which can be used with carabiners or cordage to secure it to your backpack or other gear.
What does 'bluesign® certified' mean?
Bluesign® certification indicates that the fabric meets stringent environmental, health, and safety standards throughout its production process, ensuring responsible manufacturing.
How many times should I roll the top for a secure seal?
For a reliable waterproof seal, you should roll the top down at least three times, ensuring the material is kept taut during the rolling process.
What type of DWR finish does the fabric use?
The fabric uses a C0 non-PFC DWR finish, meaning it is free from perfluorinated compounds that can be harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Bag is leaking water.
Ensure the roll-top has been closed correctly by rolling it at least three times tightly and that the buckle is securely fastened. Check seams for any damage. For best results, avoid full submersion.
Difficult to roll the top evenly.
Remove excess air from the bag before sealing. Smooth the fabric flat before starting the rolls to ensure a tight closure.
Reflective interior is scratched.
Minor scratches to the reflective coating are cosmetic and do not affect the bag's functionality or waterproofing. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the dry bag, place your items inside, ensuring not to overfill it. Smooth down the opening, then roll the top down at least three times, keeping the material taut. Once rolled, secure the buckle by connecting its two ends. For maximum water protection, ensure the rolls are tight and the buckle is firmly clipped.
Compatibility: This dry bag is compatible with most backpacks, kayaks, canoes, and bicycles for gear transport. The D-ring can be used with carabiners or cordage for secure attachment. It's designed to hold various items, including clothing, food, sleeping bags, and sensitive electronics.
Care: Clean the dry bag with mild soap and cool water using a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat, before storing. Ensure the fabric and closure are free of grit or sand to maintain water resistance. Avoid storing in humid conditions or with the roll-top tightly sealed.
