The eVAC™ Dry Sack uses waterproof, air permeable eVENT® fabric on the base for valve-free air expelling, allowing compact packing. Instead of straps for compression, you just roll the sack down and air is pushed out of the base to save space and weight. The sack is oval-shaped to resist rolling when laid on their side. eVac Dry Saks work really well for any compressible item (sleeping bags, clothing) which needs to be squeezed down as small as possible yet stay dry. Air just squeezes out through the eVent base, but water can’t get in.

A less expensive and less bulky alternative to traditional dry bags. You can squash these into spots ordinary heavy dry bags won't go.

Lightweight Dry Sacks are made of 70 Denier nylon. They are tough, yet still light enough to work well in backpacking use. The flexible fabric makes them easy to stuff into tight areas – ideal bags for general boating / outdoor use.

The NRS High Roll Duffel Dry Bags deliver the same rugged dependability as the legendary Bill's Bags, but in a duffel-style design that makes packing your gear, and finding it later, easy. The heavy-duty 21 oz PVC/polyester construction can handle the wear and tear of any rugged outdoor adventure. The fold-down StormStrip™ closure system seals water out of the duffel.
