What Size Dry Bag Do You Need For Your Adventure?

We recently launched our newest collection of roll top dry bags, designed to offer the right waterproof solution for any and every adventure. From quick swims to longer SUP trips, these clever bags give you the freedom to take everything you need with you on the water. However, with a range of sizes available, it can be tricky to know which one is right for your trip. With this in mind, we’ve put together this quick guide to help you work out what size dry bag you need.

Dry Bag Size Options

A dry bag is a simple but essential bit of kit for anybody who spends time on or near the water. These bags utilise a roll-top and waterproof construction to keep your belongings completely dry, meaning you can carry your valuables, spare kit, and a change of clothes with ease. Even a quick trip to the beach can become a bit of a nightmare if your kit gets wet, and this is exactly where a dry bag comes in handy.

With this in mind, we’ve created our range of roll top dry bags to suit every kind of use and environment. Each size is designed to boast impressive waterproof protection alongside easy carrying and the right capacity. Here’s a closer look:

What Size Dry Bag Do I Need?

When contemplating what size dry bag is right for your adventure, you’ll need to consider a range of different factors. The best dry bag will largely come down to the type and duration of your activity, as well as how much equipment you plan to take with you. 

Below, we’ve outlined the best uses for each of our roll top dry bag sizes, along with some of the features that make them the most suitable choice.

10L - Perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and beach trips

A 10L roll top dry bag is a compact and lightweight choice, making it perfect for short beach trips, SUP sessions, and quick open water swims. In these cases, you’re probably only going to need to carry the essentials, and a 10L bag should handle those demands with ease. Ours is made from super-tough waterproof fabric with fully welded seams, so it will keep your kit dry even if your bag is deliberately or accidentally submerged! It’s also particularly suited to swimming as it can double up as a swim float, while the reliable roll-top closure and zipped internal pocket give you peace of mind when it comes to your valuables.

30L - Perfect for day-long adventures and family trips

For day-long adventures and trips with the family where a little more space is required, a 30L dry bag backpack is your best bet. Its mid-sized capacity offers the perfect balance of space and convenience, with removable padded airflow straps for carrying convenience. Like any good dry bag, it protects your belongings in all conditions with fully welded seams and a roll-top closure. The 30-litre capacity can more than cope with towels, spare clothing and other essentials, along with daisy chain attachments to clip on even more gear if you need to.

60L - Perfect for bulky kit and multi-day adventures

When you need to carry larger and heavier kit or a weekend’s worth of equipment, look no further than our 60L roll top dry bag backpack. Its massive 60-litre capacity is more than up to carrying bulky items like your Titan II pump, still keeping everything dry with its ultra-tough and roll top closure construction. Like the smaller 30L version, this roll top dry bag also includes two padded airflow backpack straps for easy carrying. A reinforced base adds additional stability and durability, too, allowing you to confidently take everything you need for longer adventures in this bag.
