Waterproof Dry Bags for NZ Outdoors
A dry bag is one of those pieces of kit that earns its place every single trip. Whether you're crossing a river on a Fiordland tramp, paddling in a sea kayak, or just caught out by unexpected rain, a quality dry bag keeps the contents bone dry. Sleeping bags, spare clothes, electronics and food are all fair game — if it needs to stay dry, it goes in a dry bag.
Dry bags work by rolling down the top several times and clipping or buckling it shut, creating a watertight seal. Capacity ranges from tiny 1-litre phone pouches to 30-litre+ bags large enough to stuff a sleeping bag into. Most are made from welded or coated nylon or PVC and can withstand full submersion, not just splashes.
Dwights stocks dry bags from proven outdoor brands in a range of sizes and colours. Bright colours make it easy to find specific bags inside a pack, while subdued options suit travel and everyday use. Many trampers use several different sizes to organise their pack as well as protect it.
- Sizes from 1 litre (phone pouches) to 30+ litres
- Roll-top closure for reliable waterproof sealing
- PVC and coated nylon options for different conditions
- Suitable for tramping, kayaking, rafting and travel
