DryTide Waterproof All Purpose Bag 50L

The DryTide Waterproof Duffel Bag is the perfect all-purpose bag for travels and trips where you don’t need to carry your bag around for long periods. Whether it’s a kayak trip, boat trip, stand-up paddle adventure, or just protecting your gear from water, this duffel bag has you covered. It’s ideal for storing wet wetsuits in your car, carrying other wet gear, traveling in deserts, motorbike journeys, or even tossing in the back of a pickup truck. It also serves as a regular duffel that just happens to be waterproof. Whenever you want to keep your belongings dry without needing to carry them constantly, this duffel bag is perfect. Why?

The main benefit of a duffel bag is its large top opening, making all your items easily accessible. No more digging through a backpack to find things—everything is right at your fingertips. If you do need to carry it, the DryTide waterproof duffel bag makes it easy. It features a comfortable padded shoulder strap, two top carrying handles, and two side handles to help move the bag when it’s full and heavy.

The bag also has plastic loops that can be used to attach it to a motorbike, boat, or car roof using straps or bungee cords. Bikers will appreciate the reflective print on all sides for better visibility at night.

Additional features include an external pocket for smaller items like your phone, wallet, keys, and sunglasses. This pocket comes with a waterproof zipper, ensuring your phone stays dry even when things get wet. Unlike other bags that only have splash-proof external pockets, we believe if the bag is waterproof, the external pockets should be too.

Inside, the bag has mesh pockets for storing smaller items, so they don’t get lost, and you always know where they are.

• Heavy duty waterproof material
• Ultrasonic welded 100% waterproof seams
• 50 liter main compartment
• external pocket with waterproof zipper for smaller items
• Two internal mesh pockets for smaller items
• Padded shoulder strap
• Two carrying top handles
• Side handles for easier moving when the bag is full and heavy
• Reflective print logos on the sides and reflective stripes on front and back so bag is better visible in the night from all sides
• Plastic tie down loops for attaching the bag to cars, bikes, boats etc…

The waterproof all-purpose bag can hold around 50 liters of gear, making it the perfect size for weekend trips when you want to pack everything into one bag or for longer trips when you need multiple bags. The dimensions of the bag are:

L: 60cm / 23.6″
W: 30cm / 11.8″
H*: 50cm / 19.7″ when extended, 30cm / 11.8″ when the roll down top is closed
Weight: 1.100g / 2.4 lbs
Volume: 50l

An example of what the bag can comfortably fit is shown in the following photo:

Three wetsuits (a hooded 5/4 winter wetsuit, a 4/3 wetsuit, and a 3/2 wetsuit), neoprene booties, neoprene gloves, two ponchos for changing, one large beach towel, a first aid kit, a GoPro camera case, and some smaller items (phone, two walkie-talkies, etc.). Even with all this, there would still be room for a few more small items.

To close the bag:

• Roll down the top at least three times.
• Buckle the ends to the sides of the waterproof duffel bag.
• Close and tighten both compression straps that go over the top of the bag to keep the roll-down secure.

For detailed instructions on closing and using DryTide bags, please refer to this article.

• Clean the duffel bag with fresh water after each use and let it air out.
• Keep solvents and insect repellents away from the bag.
• Duffel bags are not suitable for submersion, as water can slowly seep in through the long roll-down closure due to water pressure.
• Inspect the bag for tears and holes before use.
