Dyneema® (DCF) Snap Closure Dry Bags
These Snap Closure Dry Bags come in a variety of sizes to give full protection from moisture and rain whilst hiking.
I don't recommend fully submerging them in water. Much heavier rubberised dry bags are recommended for that application. In my opinion, this is true of all DCF dry bags. They will definitely provide reasonable protection if you fall into a lake/river but not for swimming all day.
I prefer snap closures to clips as it affords a better seal and saves a tiny amount of weight. if you would prefer clips, get in touch before placing an order and I can make one up for you.
Made from seam taped grey 1 Oz DCF and the closure is stiffened on both sides with CT 1000. All sizes have a boxed base.
Available in four sizes and four colours for various applications.
Note that Orange and Yellow are slightly more expensive than the Grey ones.
All volumes and measurements are with the top rolled three times and clipped shut.

A note about approximate volume.
Measurements are as exact as I can make them but volume is generally understated. Volume is calculated using the products dimensions and a volume calculator. Approximate volume does not take into account that fabric items bulge when stuffed full, therefore "real world" volume will be slightly larger.
