Medium-Plus Dry Bag
Perfect size for my 40-degree sleeping bag and the clothes I sleep in. Fits perfectly into the Arc Blast sideways. I love how all of the Zpack bags keep my Arc Blast organized and tight to my back, and I never have to worry about anything getting wet!!

Keep your gear dry and dust-free without adding any more weight than you have to. This size will fit multiple clothing items or an average-sized ultralight sleeping bag. It fits well horizontally in most backpacks.

- Constructed from black 1.0 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric which is inherently waterproof and abrasion resistant. By comparison our regular Stuff Sacks are made from thinner .55 oz/sqyd material.
- Fully taped seams. Our dry bags will keep water out in typical backpacking conditions where the bag is not submerged.
- The top of the bags seal with stiff velcro to make closing and rolling the top easy! Air can escape from the rolled velcro, allowing these to squish flatter in your backpack as more gear is piled on top.
- Also check out our Zip Pouches for water and abrasion protection for your smaller items like your wallet, camera, phone, passport, glasses, etc.
- All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.
- Imported.

Held up well for almost ten years.
Giving this four stars because I got 11 years of use out of it as a stuff sack for my 20 F bag. I would, however, prefer this same stuff sack without the velcro. I was afraid that the hooks might cause abrasion to my sleeping bag, so I would roll the rough side of the velcro (the hooks) under as I stuffed my bag inside. As I did this, the hooks would catch onto the dyneema and tear away small strands. Eventually, enough dyneema was torn away that the stuff sack failed. Is there a velcro-free alternative that I can just roll and buckle?

Perfect for a Quilt
Zpacks Medium Plus Dry bag is the perfect fit for my 20 degree UGQ quilt (84"x55") and my spare clothes in the bottom of my Zpacks Arc Air pack. I've used the small dry bag for my electronics for a while and the quality, performance, and weight convinced me to upgrade to the medium plus for my quilt. Weighs in at .6oz.

Still in Review
So far, so good. I have had zero issues, thus far. I bought and use the bar for the sole purpose of storing my Western Mountaineering Versalite 10 degree bag, in redundancy for water proof while in my backpack. Just as I hoped it fits perfect in the bag! Wish I had never spent money on water proof compression sacks, but those the silly mistakes we can make juts getting into backpacking.


Dry Bags
Large Rectangle Dry Bag
It’s tough and does everything you’d want. What more is there to say? Kept my stuff dry in record breaking rains in Arkansas on Eagle Rock Loop.
– Michael N., ★★★★★
Supersize your dry bag and protect your biggest pieces of gear from the elements. This size will fit a larger sleeping bag, a bunch of clothes, or any other soft bulky item. The rectangular shape fits well in all of our backpacks, either standing vertically or sideways depending on the pack volume. The wide opening makes it easier to dig through the bag and find what you need.

Big Food Bag
Awesome bag, tough as nails. Highly recommended.
– Dave B., ★★★★★
Our food bags are made from thicker 1.6 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric to stand up to the abuse of bear bagging and to resist abrasion from heavy, pointy food items. The fabric is strong enough to discourage most small rodents but should still be hung out of reach over night. The “Big” size food sack can hold about 3-4 days of food. It will fit into our Arc backpacks horizontally. If you need more space check out our Large Food Bag or our Bear Bag Kit.
Large Food Bag
Held 5 days of food easily. Could hold a lot more. Compacts down to size you are carrying. Love the ease of the roll top snap closure. Is so lightweight and sturdy. A simple luxury to make things flow best on trail.

Pack Liner
High quality in construction. Extremely light weight and super durable.
– Wayne S., ★★★★★
This full size roll top dry bag protects the entire internal contents of your backpack. This is a good option if you prefer to use non-waterproof stuff sacks instead of individual dry bags. It is also nice as an extra layer in very wet environments. Multiple sizes are available.
This is also available in a heavier material with a handle for dual-use as a protective Airplane Case for checking your backpack on an airplane.
Small Dry Bag
Unbelievably light weight. Unbelievably strong. I use this for hikes, long backpacking trip, and for school. The range of uses is truly expansive.
– Hugh R., ★★★★★
Say goodbye to soggy gear after unexpected rainstorms. This small dry bag will fit a down jacket or a few small clothing items like socks and gloves. It is also good for corralling a handful of miscellaneous loose items.

Slim Dry Bag
It’s the perfect size to fit a 40 degree mummy bag. It fits in the Arc Blast nice and snug! Well made and is tough as nails! It’s nice to not have to worry about the sleeping bag if I get water in the pack.
– Lon W., ★★★★★
Keep your gear dry when the weather is wet! The slim size dry bag will fit well in smaller backpacks. It is a good size for lightweight clothes, miscellaneous loose items, or a summer quilt. It is also useful to store flat items like a book, maps, or documents in an average depth backpack.

Tall Dry Bag
Proper quality, waterproof, perfect size for a handlebar roll. Bikepacking bliss. Thanks Zpacks.
– Randall R., ★★★★★
Need a little more space for an extra long carry? This dry bag is long and skinny allowing it to be securely lashed to your pack’s base straps, or stored standing vertically in a side pocket. Put less critical items like your tent, sleeping pad, rain gear, today’s food, or town clothes on the outside. Keep your most precious gear like your down sleeping bag and warm clothes inside your backpack where it is more protected from the weather.

Medium Pillow Dry Bag
Slept great this past weekend using it for the first time. I really like being able to control the firmness of the pillow by using the desired amount of extra clothing I’m carrying. And it’s a great waterproof stuff sack!
– Todd L., ★★★★★
We merged the comfort of a pillow with the utility of a dry sack to form this Medium Pillow. Identical in size to the Medium Dry Bag, our Medium Pillow features soft micro fleece sewn to one half of the interior. Simply flip the dry bag inside out (as shown) and fill it with your spare clothes and gear to use as a pillow!

It worked very well on a recent three day weekend trip. Just what I was looking for to help cut down on weight and also be multifunctional.

Big Dry Bag
I love this dry bag. I needed one for my handlebar harness while bikepacking. It’s perfect. I can fit my duplex, tent poles, stakes, sleeping pad and pillow in it. Zpacks isn’t just for backpacking!!!
– Andrew L., ★★★★★
Stop the elements from soaking your gear. The ‘Big’ size dry bag has extra space for bulky clothes or a larger sleeping bag. The girth will fit horizontally in deeper packs.
