Bottom Line: Get waterproof material without the roll-top closure thanks to the Sea To Summit Seam Sealed Stuff Sack.
Perfect fit to hold my jet boil stove and a couple dehydrated food packs and even some snacks. I got the xs 5L. I also got the xxs 2.5L, holds my rain jacket perfectly.
These rock. I used them on my first backpack camping trip and it made it so easy to pull out my clothes, food, sleeping bag, etc! I will not go on another trip without these, even if I am packing in a suitcase!

These are great. My pack is not waterproof, so I make sure everything I put in it is in some kind of waterproof bag. These work great for all the random items or clothing that you might want to put in your pack and keep dry. I have 2 XXS's and a XS. I use one XXS for my first aid kit and the other XXS for all my random camping items that don't have another place to go. The XS I usually put my food in. I've not actually gotten to test them in rainy conditions yet, but I filled one with a bunch of stuff and ran the sink over it for a while and it was totally dry, so I trust the waterproofing. I love how the the cinch cord is contained within a sleeve so its not hanging out loose. Quality construction on these things.
I have a large and it recently spent a night hung in a tree with food through a nasty storm. It probably rained hard for a solid 2 hours or more. It was hanging from the drawstring. Come morning, everything was perfectly dry in the bag. The stream we camped near rose at least two feet that night.
There is a strap attached to the end opposite the drawstring, which may be better for hanging, but it worked just fine hung from the drawstring. It performed better than I expected.
Obviously, it wouldn't be completely waterproof if it were submerged since the end just cinches shut.
The bottom handle is a piece of webbing attached to the sides of the stuff sack. You can pass a biner, rope, or almost anything else through it, within reason of course.
Excellent stuff sack -- durable, waterproof, and easy to spot in a stuffed pack. I've used these biking, backpacking, and kayaking, and have been very pleased with them. I use them for everything from packing clothes to keeping my camera dry on the water to hanging my food out of bears' reach. These bags are stellar.
Stuff sack included with my down bag is abit small for my liking, 5.4x10.7 ... I'm thinking of getting a small at 6.5x13 to allow the down to expand abit more while backpacking ... Anyone use these sacks for their down and can i trust it to keep my bag dry while hiking in a few days of bad rain ...
I use sealed stuff sacks for sensitive materials, including sleeping bags, when rain is the threat and it works out just fine. Same in the winter, when *everything* gets wet from freeze / thaw and use in a tent. However, if there is a chance of immersion, like a fall during a water crossing, I'd want something more secure, like one of Summits dry sacks. Then, *nothing* will touch your contents.
I have used the 15 liter side release buckle waterproof dry sack and the 30 liter pull string waterproof stuff sack to hang food on my AT hikes. Both kept the contents dry in very wet conditions, whether hanging from a tree or sitting on the ground. I put a regular stuff sack inside the 15 liter dry sack to keep the sharp edges from poking through, like the edges of dehydrated meal pouches. I bought a full set of the dry sacks for my son to use on his upcoming backpacking trip in Scotland.
After buying dozens of stuff sacks from OR over the years, I've grown tired of the price increases, taking the daisychains off several models, taking the dust flaps off, ... just generally cheapening the product, while increasing the price. So, I wanted to try some Summit sacks.It's a win!! Good, straight sacks, very well made, and I think they're great.So, that's two traditional suppliers I've avoided this year (Black Diamond was the other, due to their anti-sale, anti-discounting practices.).I will stick with this product! Thanks!!
Anyone used this for canyons? I go down canyons regularly (which means diving into the water - 2-3 deep dives after jumping) and I am sick of hard plastic containers. This would be perfect if it is waterproof enough. Thanks,Enrique
I have not used this for canyons, but i have used this for kayaking. For the price, it's waterproof enough. However, after not too long, water starts to slowly seep through the small crevasses not perfectly sealed by this system. It seems like you're going to be putting this bag through a good bit of water exposure, so i'd recommend the sea to summit ultra-sil line. It's basically the same thing, but with the traditional dry sack seal. Hope that helps!
I recently ordered one of every size from XS-L. I wanted to get enough that I'd be covered in most situations. The small and medium ones will work great for jackets and food and stuff, and the bigger ones will fit all the clothes I can pack plus my sleeping bag, which has its own compression sack but it's not waterproof. These bags are surprisingly tough and light and they seem very waterproof. I like how the cinches for the drawstring are incorporated into the collar of the bag (if you look at it in the pictures you can see what I mean), how there's that flap at the top to act as a lid and help to keep water out, and I like the webbing strap on the bottom and the little tab on the top that you can thread the drawstring through to make it extra-secure or you can use it to hang the bag while you're digging around inside it for a pair of socks or something, though I'm not sure how much weight that little tab can hold. If it's hypalon, which it seems to be to me, then it's probably pretty strong. So, I'm looking forward to these things keeping my gear dry and organized and making packing a lot easier. Can't wait to take them on adventures with me!
I bought two of these, size medium. I used one for my sleeping bag (Marmot Pinnacle) and another for my clothing. This item kept both completely dry in multiple down pours. The construction and materials are superior. Sea to Summit has hit the nail on the head with this item. Keep in mind, however, that is is not 100% submersible. There is no way to completely seal the opening, so it might not be a good choice for activities such as kayaking. But, for backpacking, I don't think you can find a higher quality stuff sack.
Super light weight and really waterproof these are great for small stuff in the small sizes. I would recommend seeing this before buying unless you are really good at mentally judging the space you need. I would recommend also buying one size. They apppear to be pretty tough too.
Great for separating gear. NOT totally waterproof if fully submerged, but they are not intended to be dry bags. I used really small bungee cords to compress these and that worked well.
Good bags. I bought these to use in addition to a rain cover for my backpack. a few extra ounces is worth the security of having a dry sleeping bag and clothes. Just don't get so extreme as to totally submerging your pack & you'll be OK. Also, I like the fact that they are more heavy duty than standard stuff sacks.
I love to use this when I want to take my SLR somewhere where it is likely to get wet. Has not failed and seems like it is very unlikely to tear or perforate. They are a great price for you get!
I bought a small and a medium and both worked great. They withstood several days of rain bungeed onto my motorcycle and kept everything perfectly dry. I was able to cram my sleeping bag into the medium but the tie off thingy broke.
I bought the small bag to use when i was down at the beach for my cell phone, wallet and keys. It has not failed me yet. I needed it especially when summer thunderstorms pop up and douse everything. I have also taken it with me when i was fishing out of a sea kayak and it did great. It kept everything dry.
Great for humid environments, but not meant to be totally water proof. If your going to be getting really wet, I would not recommend this sack. If you are in a humid place or plan to cross a small stream or two this sack will do the job.
I use this stuff sack in the very abusive activity of adventure riding a motorcycle on horrible dirt roads where the bouncing destroys everything. This stuff sack holds out the rain and it doesn't wear through like most stuff sacks.
This is a nice stuff sack and it is not completely waterproof. The closure is designed to keep out water and it does for the most part. Submerge it for a little while and it will let water in. All in all it is worth the buy just know what you're buying.
Perfect fit to hold my jet boil stove and a couple dehydrated food packs and even some snacks. I got the xs 5L. I also got the xxs 2.5L, holds my rain more...
These rock. I used them on my first backpack camping trip and it made it so easy to pull out my clothes, food, sleeping bag, etc! I will not go on another more...
