FAQs

Is the Ultra-Sil Dry Bag completely submersible?

No, the Ultra-Sil Dry Bag is designed for water resistance, not complete submersion. It will keep your gear dry from rain, splashes, and brief immersion, provided the roll-top closure is properly sealed.

What is the hydrostatic head rating?

The Ultra-Sil Dry Bag has a hydrostatic head rating of 2000mm, indicating its resistance to water pressure.

How do I choose the right size?

Consider the volume of the gear you need to protect. Smaller sizes are good for electronics or snacks, while larger sizes are suitable for sleeping bags or clothing.

Can I wash the dry bag?

Yes, you can wash it with cool water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive cleaners.

What does 'bluesign-approved' mean?

'Bluesign-approved' signifies that the materials used have been manufactured through a sustainable process that minimizes environmental impact and ensures consumer safety.

How many times should I roll the top?

For optimal water resistance, it is recommended to roll the top opening down tightly at least three to four times before securing the buckle.

Troubleshooting

Bag is not keeping contents dry

Ensure the roll-top closure is rolled down at least three to four times and securely buckled. Check for any punctures or tears in the fabric or seams.

Difficulty closing the roll-top

Remove any excess air from the bag before rolling. Ensure the opening is clean and free of dirt or debris that might obstruct the seal.

Fabric feels sticky or degraded

This may indicate prolonged exposure to heat or UV rays. Store the bag in a cool, dark place. If degradation is severe, it may be time to replace the bag.
