Less Weight, More Space Lightweight Dry Sack Every boater needs a solid dry bag; one that’s sturdy, lightweight, and leak resistant, of course. The Lightweight Dry Sack by Sea to Summit is versatile, waterproof, and doesn’t break the bank. It’s made with durable nylon fabric and features a white interior lining to spot the contents with ease. Sea to Summit says this sack is ideal for backpacking, cycle touring, travel, skiing, and more. With resistance to light abrasion and punctures, you can use but not abuse. Don’t fear taking them on your cruise to Alaska but be weary of sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that could damage the material. It’s 70D nylon material with polyurethane coating and a 1,000 cm hydrostatic head makes it water resistant but not waterproof, which makes for the perfect day hike or soft adventure companion; don’t submerge and you’ll be okay. A D-ring attachment point
at the buckle is there for your convenience and the latest version features the patentpending ⁵⁄₈-inch, 15 mm Field Repair Buckle with stainless steel pins. This lightweight bag comes in green, black, red, blue, or yellow and capacities of 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 20, and 35 liters. The 1-liter is great for a phone (in a waterproof case), snacks, a wallet and keys. Use the 2-liter sack for snacks, first aid essentials, and gloves, or a beanie. The 4-liter is great to house an additional layer and a meal. Eight liters gets you space for a puffy jacket and a sleeping bag or enough food for two-to-three days. If you’re heading out on an overnight trip, you’ll want to pick up the 13-liter or larger. The 13-liter bag is big enough for clothes or as a bear bag for food for two-to-three people. The 20-liter could fit a larger tent or gear for a paddle trip. And lastly, the 35-liter is
perfect for general paddle or overland gear for a large group. Visit seatosummitusa.com to pick up a bag in your favorite color and ideal size for $12.95 to $27.95, or pick one up at your local REI.
Durable, lightweight, and waterresistant, Sea to Summit dry sacks are ready for any adventure.
