Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack
Sea To Summit built the Ultra-Sil Dry Sack with Siliconized Cordura to make it both incredibly light and completely waterproof. The Ultra-Sil Dry Sacks can handle backpacking, climbing, or wet environments in general. Backpacker Magazine was so impressed with this ingenious stuff sack, they gave it the 2006 Editor's Choice Award. What does Sea To Summit mean by lightweight? How about 1.1oz for an eight-liter dry bag? That number easily puts a smile on the face of the most weight conscious outdoor enthusiast. *Sold individually.
Bottom Line: Shave weight from your pack and keep your gear totally dry with the ultra-lightweight Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sacks.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

These not only keep my pack clean, but organized. I have a different size and color for different things such as clothes, hygiene, etc. so I can just grab which ever I need without searching for hours. I use the thicker ones with white interior as a food hang bag too, since it's waterproof, smells can't really get out of it, and its durable.

I just returned from an 8-day canoe trip in Canada and found these bags to be very good. Although a lot "lighter" than other dry-bags they really did the job. Even when I swamped my canoe in a current the bags kept my camera, extra socks, and underwear dry. Whew!!!
Evening, Would this product benefit for use as a food storage
Evening,
Would this product benefit for use as a food storage bag when back country camping?

Depends on where you are, these are in no way shape or form animal proof. If you are in bear country stick with a can, if rodents are your worry then this may work if hung properly. If anything you are trying to keep out gets ahold of this you are probably gonna end up hiking out hungry! Good Luck

Yes, this is good for food storage. I would suggest, however, getting the thicker sea to summit bags. I used those every day on my thru-hike and walking through 14 states and 2,200 miles, I never once had an issue with animals of any size smelling or dealing with the bag. If you have an airtight seal, that basically means its odor proof as well, So it works very well. Easy to hang if you feel the need to, and extremely durable.

I luv these S2S roll top drysacks. They're so light, yet durable as heck! The 8 liter is the perfect size for keeping a weekend, weeklong (if you're not packing like Paris Hilton), or thru hike's haul of clothes. I didn't request it, but got an orange, which should be great for being easily found at night when using as a food hangbag. I truly don't know what else to say about this item other than it truly is a wonderful item for the go-lighter or anyone wanting to keep stuff dry! Try one, I'm sure you'll luv it.

I used the 13L bag for a 3 day trip on the river and it worked wonderfully. I'm sure the 8L would be fine for an overnight trip.

Tim, unless you pack like a girl then the 8 liter is plenty fine. I just bought an 8 liter for stuffing my tent into only to find out I could slighly cram it in my 4 liter stuff sack. After recieving the 8 liter I can tell you it will haul enough clothes for a weekend (for most guys anyways, I realise some guys pack like girls...no offense ladies). I easily stuffed all my clothing gear that I am taking on the Appalachian Trail in mine last night. And I STILL have room. There's no doubt that the 8 liter is good enough for an over nighter!

You may benefit from an 8l for overnighting but maybe try bringing only what you are going to wear. Socks and thermals will easily fit into one of the smaller size sacks. I use a 2l for my "extra" clothing on 2-3 trips and I usually have extra space!

Wouldn't change a thing, except my luck in having received a blue one when I would have preferred either of the other colors... oh well. I should quit complaining; this bag does the job and does it well.

Took to Ecuador as a summit pack liner. It rained every day, but my summit pack was so totally waterproof, I ended up leaving my dry clothes in the S2S ultra-sil down in camp so I would have dry clothes to come back to. It is so thin you can see through it, so it's easy to dig your stuff out. It also compresses your stuff to save room in your duffel. Cheap insurance for dry clothes.
Will these be sturdy enough to use as a food bag to hang? I was
Will these be sturdy enough to use as a food bag to hang? I was thinking of getting some of those odor prevent ziplock type bags and holding everything in here to hang on a tree.Thanks

Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack

I bought the 1 and 2 liter sacks. They are perfect for personal items such as medications, personal hygiene products, camera's, wallet, GPS, etc.
I am looking forward to getting an 8 liter or bigger for food, for they are perfect to clip on and off of a food line easily.
Buy this!

If you have something that you want to keep completely dry then get one of these. I have botht the 4L and the 2L. My 40 degree down bag fits in the 2L sack, however it is a tight squeeze so I put my sleeping bag in the 4L. I put an extra pair of big wool socks, a silk sleeping bag liner, and long underwear in the 2L sack and still had a little extra room. You'll be happy you bought these on your first trip in the rain and at less then 1 oz for the 2L and 4L you won't even notice they're in your pack.

I am trying to fine tune my dry bag set. when dry bags say 9 X 15 what is that? Is the 9 flat width or diameter when filled? Does the 15 length include inches needed to roll down?
By: lwren1100099874

I have the 9X15 4L bag. It is 9 in flat width. The 15 inches is the whole length of the bag. It is more like 11 inches once the top of the bag is rolled down.

This is a perfect dry bag for backpacking. I carry my extra clothes in it, and they stay organized, compressed, and DRY. The fabric is thin, but it is durable and very light.
Completely waterproof!
By: Garrett Grove

I have done experiments with these bags to see if they are actually waterproof by dunking them filled with paper to soak up water if it leaks though. The paper comes out totally dry. On top of that they are tough and can handle many years of use. Big fan of these bags.
Great for moisture protection and organization!

These sacks are really excellent, I own multiple sizes to keep my gear organized in my pack (especially useful for longer excursions), the different colors definitely help for this use. Also, being waterproof, I don't have to worry about moisture or humidity getting into my gear if it rains/snows. I have an XS that perfectly fits my backpacking electronics and backup batteries. The only thing that takes a bit of time is figuring out how to fully compress these guys while you're sealing them up. But it'll only take you about 5 min to figure out a technique that works (I compress it against my chest while rolling it shut).
Light and inexpensive

This is a no-brainer! High quality, great value, very versatile. You only question should be 1 or 2 and in what sizes.
Light and effective
By: Allen Briggs

This bag is obviously very light. However, I am impressed by the durability and quality of the bag as well. It sure after waterproof after I put it to the test. I highly recommend this one for kayaking, backpacking or anything else where your gear staying dry is essential. And at such a small weight and bulk, this thing can go anywhere with you.
