Dry bags

[banded_drake]

What size are your dry bags? I'm thinking of getting a couple of ultralight dry bags for my clothing and my sleep system, just not sure what size I would need for each. Curious what sizes you are all running and what different uses you have for them

What is an ultralight stuff sack? I’m looking into this as well.

I keep my bag in a 20L compression and carry a 20L for extra clothes if the forecast is rain. Could probably get by with a little smaller size but it compresses down to the size of what is in it.

Check out Hyperlite Mountain Gear, Mountain Laurel Designs, and Zpacks. They all make great dry bags, and you won’t find anything lighter than DCF. I have a decent assortment of various brands and sizes but I tend to use small and medium more than anything else.

I usually keep all my extra clothes in a 13L drysack. If it's particularly cold out, I'll carry it all in a 25L, but it's never completely full.
My 15F down sleeping bag stuffs into a 10L drysack.

They do! The growler and beer are free, but they kill ya on the shipping.

x2 on AK troutbums set up .
I write on mine with a sharpy, what is in them. They pack so much nicer in a back pack or all in a bigger dry bag.

I have an assortment of sizes. I found some that have a clear window and have extra dry clothes in them. I use the bags to organize gear and spare clothing in my Search and Rescue 24 Hour pack. Most of the ones in use are 10 to 13 liter size.

I can’t remember exactly when I started buying the DCF dry bags, but I know I’ve been using them exclusively for at least 4 years now, and don’t have any real signs of wear and tear.

This might be a bit boring and / cast me as a Kifaru fanboy, buuuuut ...

I just run an Outdoor Research dry bag as a pack liner and Kifaru ultralight pullouts inside, sized for the kind of gear I want to organise.

Only need the outer bag to be waterproof, and the Kifaru pullouts, with the longitudinal zip, are so much easier to use than a slew of narrow-mouthed dry bags - open the zip, and you can pretty much see everything at once. Boom.

i'd like to dry those DCF bags out but i havent been able to find a good price on them

 

[banded_drake]

The ones from mountain laurel designs I thought were a fair price, I'm gonna try one out along with a sea to summit ultra sil
