DryTide Bear 15 Liter Dry Bag

A versatile waterproof dry bag for kayaking, boating and outdoor adventures.
The DryTide Bear 15L is a waterproof dry bag for days when a small essentials bag is not enough, but a larger 30L bag would be more than you need. With 15 litres of space, it gives you room for clothing, a towel, a wetsuit and other gear while keeping everything protected from rain, splashes and wet environments. Use it on a boat, at the beach, in a kayak or as an extra layer of protection inside a larger bag. The roll-top closure keeps the design simple, while the shoulder strap makes the bag easy to carry on its own.
Highlights:
- Heavy-Duty PVC Waterproof Material
- Welded Waterproof Seams
- Roll-Top Closure
- Shoulder Strap
- Two Attachment Loops
- Floats on water when properly closed
In stock (can be backordered)
You pack a towel, dry clothes and a few things you do not want getting wet. Then the weather changes, the boat deck gets wet or you end up carrying your gear through spray and splashes. A normal bag is fine until water reaches the things inside.
That is where a dry bag earns its place.
We made the Bear 15L as the middle size in the DryTide dry bag range. The smaller 5L bags are suited to personal essentials, while the 30L Whale is designed for larger loads. The Bear gives you a practical amount of space for a day around the water without taking up more room than necessary.
Use it to keep dry gear protected, separate wet gear from the rest of your belongings, or organise equipment inside a larger waterproof bag. It can hold a wetsuit and towel, and it has enough room for the clothing, food and other essentials you need for a beach day, boat trip or outdoor adventure.
IS THIS THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR YOU?
GREAT CHOICE IF
- You need more room than a 3L or 5L dry bag but do not need a 30L bag.
- You want to carry clothing, a towel, a wetsuit and other day-trip gear.
- You want to keep wet gear contained and separated from dry belongings.
- You need a waterproof gear bag that can be carried over your shoulder.
- You want a simple dry bag that can also help organise gear inside a larger bag.
CONSIDER A DIFFERENT BAG IF
- You mainly need to protect a phone, wallet, keys or other small essentials: consider the 3L or 5L Vista Dry Bag.
- You want to see your gear without opening the bag: consider the 3L or 5L Vista Dry Bag.
- You regularly carry a larger load for a full day on the water: consider the 30L Whale Dry Bag.
- You want a waterproof backpack rather than a shoulder-carried dry bag: consider the 30L Waterproof Daypack.

WHICH DRY BAG SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Different dry bags solve different problems. The right size depends not only on how many litres you need, but also on the shape of the gear you carry and how easily you want to find it.
The examples below are intended to give you a better idea of what each size can hold. Depending on the size and shape of the items, not everything listed will fit at the same time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the Bear 15L really waterproof?
Yes. The bag uses heavy-duty PVC waterproof material, welded seams and a roll-top closure. It is waterproof when properly closed and is designed for rain, splashes and wet environments. Very brief accidental submersion should not cause problems when properly closed, but the bag is not designed for intentional or prolonged underwater use.
Does the Bear 15L dry bag float?
Yes. The Bear 15L floats on water when properly closed. The roll-top closure helps keep the bag sealed and allows it to float with your gear inside. For best results, roll the top down at least three times and buckle the ends together.
How do I close the roll top correctly?
Roll the top down at least three times, bend the ends in the opposite direction to where you rolled them, and buckle the ends together. Proper closure is essential for waterproof performance. Check the instructions for more information.
How much can the 15L dry bag hold?
It is a practical middle size for day trips. You can use it for a wetsuit and towel, or for clothing, swimwear, food, water and other personal gear. The exact amount depends on the size and shape of the items.
Can I use it for wet gear?
Yes. The Bear can be used to contain wet gear after surfing, swimming or other water activities, keeping it separated from dry belongings.
How should I clean the Bear 15L?
Clean it with fresh water after each use and air it out. Keep solvents and insect repellents away from the bag. Mild detergent is fine if the bag is dirty.
Should I choose the 15L or 30L dry bag?
Choose the Bear 15L when you want a compact bag for lighter day-trip loads, a wetsuit and towel, or personal gear. Choose the Whale 30L when you regularly need more room for larger loads or a full day on the water.
