OverBoard Waterproof Dry Bag | 5/12/20/30 Litre Floating Sack | 100% Waterproof Dry Tube Bag with Adjustable Shoulder Strap and Top Fold Seal System | Kayaking, Swimming, Beach and More

I have owned larger, 40 litre similarly fastened (PVC) bags, for sailing kit. But my requirement for this Overboard 5 ltr bag was very different. The bag arrives in a hermetically sealed bag, and so requires a while to take up its correct shape. It has - inside - a silver coloured/lined base for added protection. Once I'd figured out how exactly to position the top fastening, four(4) rolls of the sealing top became a cinch and easy to achieve. The bag's snap clips (which make its handle when fastened) are substantial and look to last for ages. Don't expect this bag to be HUGE 'cos it aint! ... My reason for ordering it. Nevertheless, once this bags' material warmed up I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only would it carry my personal 'meds' but there was also room for a tightly rolled pair of Henri Lloyd TP2 waterproof waist trousers, along with a pouched multitool knife, my camera, a pair of [small] binoculars, a 'phone and sunglasses ... with a bit of room to spare. The wide black, (stout tape), adjustable carrying handle, which has plastic/stainless steel snap hook at each of its ends, clips nicely, neatly into a 'D' ring in the sealed, rolled, top end, and to a similar 'D' ring attached to the bag's base (sealed with the same, silver material as described above). The bag , when slung across one's shoulders, does have a tendency to 'roll around' from back to front ... which can be disconcerting when riding a bike! But this 'rolling' can be alleviated by using the very cool looking, stong, neat purple anodised carbine hook (supplied with each Overboard product), as a clip to the waist. On first use, out on the water, a wet rainy day in a fast RIB, the bag was accidentally dropped in the drink! I'm pleased to report that the bag floated on the surface and all its contents remained bone dry ... I recommend this product, and can only say to other reviewers, and potential purchasers that it takes a bit of practice to get the top sealing strip tight ... like most waterproofing, it's an easily acquired knack! Tip: Leave sufficient air space for buoyancy!

This summer I went to my first summer festival. Given my experience of British summer weather, I realised that there was every chance that I was going to be soaked whilst I was away. Now this wouldn't bother me, only since I was flying into the British mainland to get to the festival, I would be carrying a number of documents that I just couldn't afford to water damaged. I started thinking how I could manage to keep any travel documents dry in the event of a downpour. I did some research and eventually came across this product and it was a life saver. At 5 litres it was just the right size for my passport/train tickets/travel documents as well as my phone/MP3 player/camera and a couple of books. It was kind of like the tardis, it holds more than you think it will! The attachable strap that it comes with is great and you can throw it on and get going without feeling weighed down. A few days in, lo and behold, there was a downpour of incredible proportions. I was soaked through in no time. When things were drying off, I took the opportunity to see whether the bag had lived up to its name and kept things dry. Everything was bone dry and in perfect condition. I would happily recommend this to anyone who is going out and about in the great outdoors and needs to keep things dry. I will be taking this to the beach, any future festivals or any treks that I'll be taking in future. Such a worthwhile buy, love it!

I would give this bag 10 stars if I could . First advice take as little valuables as possible on holiday if ur afraid of getting them wet We Went to a beach holiday in mallorca and bought this bag to keep things dry. left expensive smartphones at home watch jewellery everything we didnt need left at home . our valuables were 1 nokia phone passports cash and other stuff i cannot remember. Most expensive thing was digital camera which we had to take and couldnt leave back. so that was our concern Put all our valuables in little plastic bags( the seal-able kind u get at airports for liquids/ or at supermarkets) put all our items in 3 little plastic bags (one inside the other). OH yeah DONT FORGET A SILICA GEL SACHET NEXT TO YOUR CAMERA/ any other valuables BECAUSE IF IT SATURATES WITH MOISTURE COS OF HEAT IT CAN GET DAMAGED. Then put these in a the overboard bag and swam at the beach for 3 days . Make sure u seal it right and make sure you just put a towel on top /around your valuables just in case. These are just the precautions I took and came back with all my belongings safe. Regardless of the plastic bags etc the insides stay completely dry . The bag floats with you as you swim . doesnt matter deep or shallow water as long as its floating which it will if sealed properly . The precautions are necessary because after swimming when you open the bag then water can go in while opening. But if you follow all these precautions ur stuff will stay safe. Plastic bags with silica next to electronics covered with a cloth or towel near the mouth of the bag and awesome. Size of the bag . will fit all your valuables a tshirt and one towel(normal size). Its good to not stuff it too much because you need to leave room for some air which will keep it afloat. So make sure you leave about 40% room for air .

I am only giving 4 stars cause i ordered the royal blue and they send me the red which looks kind of a pink. However its a very good bag....it looks like a military sausage bag but in a trendy way.....not very flattering the red kind of pink color for a guy...but as long as it does the job i am ok with it. Especially if you are travelling by bus you can place it between your legs when sitted....or in a crowded bus like the ones in Greece it doesnt take much space in front of you.It's very practical.Still i like the royal blue very much...

I bought this before setting off to the States for a two month trip taking in the National Parks and Californian Beaches. I went wading along the Merced River, swimming in the Pacific Ocean, rafting on the Cache Le Poudre River and Colorado River as well as kayaking on the Saco River. Everywhere I went I took this bag with me, stuffed with a camp towel, DSLR, iPhone, wallet and change of clothes. Not once did the bag leak and it's still in perfect condition. It floats which is handy if it falls out of your raft, so it can be retrieved with ease. If submersed, it maintains its waterproof-ness. The bag came with a shoulder strap and a metal carabiner which was useful for securing the bag to my kayak. There was also some Silica Gel inside which presumably is to prevent condensation forming within the bag. I lost the silica gel pretty early on, but didn't find condensation to be an issue. I also used the bag as a pillow when on the beach, stuffed with a t-shirt and towel and with some air trapped in, it was very comfortable. All in all, a great purchase and I would recommend whole-heartedly. It's the perfect size too.

A 40LTR waterproof bag. That's what I ordered and thats what I got :-) Its a bag with an opening at the top. When rolled down and clipped together the bag is closed and that's what makes it waterproof. Oh, did I mention that its red? Well not entirely because it has silver writing on the side and a silver bottom. The writing says "OverBoard", which is lucky because that's the same as the people who made the bag. Anyway, if you order the red one then yours will be red too! If you order a different colour then yours will probably not be red but will still be a bag and will still be waterproof... as long as you remember to roll down the top and close the opening in it. I almost forgot, it also holds 40LTRS. Well, at least I think it probably does. I haven't filled it up with water and measured it because putting water in a water proof bag would be silly. But it really does look like it will hold 40LTRS. If you order a red bag I'm sure yours will hold 40LTRS too. I obviously cant vouch for the other colours though they will probably also hold almost the same. The clips on top are made of plastic and they fit together quite well. Which is good, because if they didnt then the opening in the water proof bag wouldn't stay shut and then the bag would not be waterproof. Seriously now... If you're in the market for this type of bag then you wont be disappointed. I'm not. Enjoy!

I recently bought this item so I could take it on holiday. I knew that there would be a few occasions where we'd be in the ocean, and I was going to want to take my camera. I must say this bag was absolutely perfect for it's purpose. I trusted it with my very expensive digital SLR camera/lens whilst swimming out to an island, and it was dry as a bone inside. The 5L bag fit my camera with 15-85mm lens attachment perfectly. You wouldn't want to go any smaller than this I would think, unless you just wanted to put phone/key/wallet inside. I think 5L is a good size, cause I actually used it to carry around my DSLR for the whole holiday, A) because I didn't want to look too much like a camera-toting tourist, and B) so you aren't a target for bag snatchers carrying around Canon branded DSLR carry-case (hmmm I wonder what's in there?) My girlfriend got sick of hearing how much I loved this bag by the end of the trip. I would like to have bought it in black, but I don't think that was a colour option.

This product is good for those of you who want a very sturdy heavy duty carry bag. It did the job and kept my fleece and slacks totally dry during a 350 mile bicycle trip during which it rained for four days! It is strong and easy to carry around with the strap provided. This bag proved to be a little to heavy for what I needed and If weight is an issue, lighter products can be found that will hold as much and keep stuff dry.. If toughness is your concern then this bag will do good job. I woulld buy another if a heavy duty bag is ever needed and would recommend it for that purpose.

Es una bolsa con muy buena pinta. Parece tener una excelente calidad y por el precio que tiene es sumergible varios metros durante al menos 30 minutos. Excelente.

Remplie bien son rôle. Étanche parfait

Sac étanche, moderne,tout à fait adapté aux activités à la mer. Fermeture tout à fait hermétique. Look moderne. Facile à porter.

ein wichtiger aspekt, waum ich mich gerade für diesen Drybag entschieden hab ist die Farbe :) Einfach toll und genau wie abgebildet. Das Material wirkt serh robust und stabil. Nacheinem Test in der Badewanne ist die Tasche auch komplet dicht! ich werde ihr im Urklaub meine kompletten technischen wertgegenstände anvertrauen. Die kamera werde ich aber um ganz sicher zu gehen, natpürlich noch zusätzlich verpacken. Die Lieferung ging schnell und ich kann mich nicht beklagen. Freue mich schon diese Tasche in Thailand einzusetzten
