What is a dry sack used for?

 

If you’re outdoors and you’re experiencing adverse weather conditions you might find yourself with wet and muddy clothing. If you’re camping on a multi-day trip you may wish to get changed and the last thing you want is to soak the contents of your rucksack with wet clothing. 

 

In order to keep your backpack dry, clean, and organised you can store wet clothes inside your dry bag. 

 

Alternatively, if your bag is only water resistant and not waterproof you may choose to put a dry bag inside with your valuables and items that need to stay dry in, in case your backpack leaks. 

 

Some waterproof dry bags are able to compress, helping you to store more items in your backpack. You may choose to use your dry bag or stuff sack for organisational purposes, keeping your clean and dirty clothes separated for example.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a dry bag and a stuff sack?
+
A dry bag is an excellent option for damp situations because it is waterproof and shields contents from moisture and wetness. Conversely, people use a stuff sack to compress and organise equipment inside a larger pack, even though it is not waterproof.
What are the best uses for dry bags and stuff sacks?
+
When trekking in the rain or kayaking in damp conditions, dry bags work best for keeping stuff dry. Stuff bags are the perfect way to stow and arrange equipment inside a more giant duffel bag or backpack.
How do I clean and maintain a dry bag or stuff sack?
+
After wiping a dry bag with a damp towel and soap, let it air dry entirely. For stuff bags, thorough drying and a mild hand wash with a mild detergent usually suffice. Avoid machine washing and strong chemicals.
