Unbelievably light weight. Unbelievably strong. I use this for hikes, long backpacking trip, and for school. The range of uses is truly expansive.

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.

  • 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 bags have a stiffened opening to make rolling the top down easy and secure.

  • Squeeze out the air and roll down the top to compress your gear as needed.

  • 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.

Not Dry Bags

Bought two of the small and one of the medium, and these are not dry bags - all three leak air, and so all three allow water in (which trashed a first-aid kit I had stashed inside one). First problem - seams weren't sealed. Coated them with AquaSeal, and they still leaked air (and let water in), which highlighted the second problem - no matter how tightly or how many times the tops are rolled, air leaks still leaks out, and water still gets in (see photo of water leaking out the rolls) - guessing that's an issue with the Dyneema since I've not had a problem with similar designs made in other materials (e.g., polyester). The buckles are sturdy and light, and the Velcro helps in compressing the bag, but those good features are rendered impotent when the bags' don't do their main job: keeping water out. Epically disappointed, especially since these were for work (I'm a fisheries biologist for a university) and ran over $100 total.

Problem Solver

I'm prepping for the AT and getting my gear sorted out. This dry bag is very well made and I'm sure it will help with my final load-out for the AT. The fabric is amazing...must be from a UFO crash recovery as it's thin but tough! Anyway everything I've gotten from ZPs is really good.

Great bags

These bags are great for compression, organization, and making sure certain items stay dry.
