Dry Bag Knowledge

Everything worth knowing about waterproof dry bags — written by the team building the TECTON Expedition System in Australia.

What Is a Dry Bag and How Does It Work?

Roll-top seals, welded seams and waterproof ratings explained — plus whether a dry bag can be fully submerged.

What actually fits in each size, and how to choose between them for a day on the water, the trail or the bike.

Kayaking, boating, the beach, wet-season hiking, motorbike touring and camping — where a dry bag earns its place.

The correct roll-down technique, cleaning without damaging the laminate, and storage that protects the seal.

Wet-season Queensland, NSW coastal paddling, Tasmanian cold water and remote WA touring — what each demands, and the size that suits it.
