About dry bags and keeping gear dry
Dry bags fail at the closure, not the fabric. A roll-top needs three full folds and the buckle clipped back on itself to form a seal, and a bag rolled twice because it was overfull is a bag that will let water in. Leaving air in the bag is deliberate — it is what makes it float if it goes over the side, and what tells you the seal is holding when you squeeze it. Pack to about three quarters so there is material left to roll.
Dry bags Australia: common questions
Is a dry bag fully waterproof?
A properly rolled dry bag keeps contents dry through spray, rain and brief submersion. It is not a dive case — sustained depth and pressure are a different problem, and valuables like phones are worth a dedicated case inside the bag.
What size dry bag do I need?
Smaller than you think, in more of them. A 10–20L bag covers a day on the water for one person; splitting kit across several small bags beats one large one you have to open in the weather.
