A large waterproof dry bag for bigger loads and full days around water.
The DryTide Whale 30L is a large waterproof dry bag for the gear that no longer fits into a small essentials bag. Pack clothing, towels, wetsuits, food, camera gear and other equipment for a full day around water while keeping the main compartment protected from rain, splashes and wet environments.
With 30 litres of space, removable shoulder straps and an external quick-access pocket, the Whale gives you the flexibility to use it as a traditional dry bag or carry it on your back when you need to move your gear further.
Highlights
- 30L capacity for larger loads and full-day adventures
- Waterproof PVC construction with welded seams
- Roll-top closure for reliable protection around water
- Splashproof external pocket for quick access to small essentials
- Two removable shoulder straps for backpack-style carrying
- Floats when properly closed with sufficient air inside
In stock (can be backordered)
You are heading out for the day and the smaller dry bag is already full before you have packed a towel, spare clothes or food. A larger bag solves the capacity problem, but a traditional dry bag can become awkward when you need to carry it beyond the car, boat or beach. Small essentials can also disappear at the bottom of a large main compartment just when you need them.
That is why we made the Whale. The 30L capacity gives you enough space for a proper day around water, while removable shoulder straps let you carry it like a simple backpack when needed. We also added an external splashproof pocket for the smaller things you want to keep close and easy to reach. When you do not need the straps, remove them and use the Whale like a regular dry bag. Its flexible shape also makes it easier to pack alongside other gear or fit into tighter spaces.
IS THIS THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR YOU?
GREAT CHOICE IF
- You need more space than a 5L or 15L dry bag provides
- You regularly carry towels, clothing, wetsuits, food or larger outdoor gear
- You want one large dry bag for a full day around water
- You want the option to carry your dry bag on your back
- You want small essentials to stay easy to reach
- You want a flexible bag that can be packed alongside other gear or pushed into tighter spaces
- You need a bag for carrying wet gear separately from your dry belongings
CONSIDER A DIFFERENT BAG IF
- You only need waterproof storage for a few personal items. A smaller DryTide dry bag will be easier to carry.
- You mainly carry small essentials such as a phone, wallet and keys. The 2L Flat Dry Bag, Waterproof Phone Pouch or Waterproof Wallet may be more practical.
- You need a structured backpack with padding, organisation and features for regular everyday carrying. Consider a DryTide Waterproof Backpack.
- You regularly pack for several days or need more space for travel and larger equipment. The 50L Waterproof Travel Backpack or 50L Waterproof Duffel Bag may be a better fit.
- You need quick access through an airtight waterproof zipper and a higher level of protection for frequent water exposure. The Point Nemo Airtight Backpack is designed for a different type of use.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
KEEP YOUR GEAR DRY AROUND WATER
Rain, boat spray, wet decks and splashes can quickly reach clothing, electronics and the other things you brought with you. The Whale uses waterproof PVC material and welded seams instead of conventional stitched seams. When the bag is properly closed, the main compartment helps protect your gear from everyday exposure to water. The roll-top closure is designed for rain, splashes and wet conditions. When properly closed, very brief accidental submersion should not cause problems. However, the bag is not designed for intentional or prolonged underwater use.
✓ Durable waterproof PVC material
✓ Fully welded waterproof seams
✓ Roll-top closure
✓ 30L waterproof main compartment
CARRY MORE FOR A FULL DAY OUT
Sometimes a small dry bag is enough. Other days you need space for towels, spare clothes, food, camera gear and everything else that comes with spending the day away from home. The 30L capacity gives you room for larger loads without moving to a much bigger travel bag. It can hold two full-length winter wetsuits. Depending on the size and shape of what you pack, it can also carry a towel, swimwear, dry clothes, camera gear, water and food for a day around water.
✓ Removable shoulder straps
✓ Top attachment loops
✓ Large 30L main compartment
KEEP SMALL ESSENTIALS WITHIN EASY REACH
Opening a large dry bag every time you need your keys, phone or wallet can quickly become inconvenient. Small items can also disappear at the bottom of a 30L compartment. The Whale has an external splashproof pocket for the things you want to keep close and easy to reach. It is useful for protecting items from light splashes and spray, but the pocket is not waterproof and should not be used for valuables that need full waterproof protection.
✓ External quick-access pocket
✓ Splashproof zipper
CARRY IT AS A DRY BAG OR A SIMPLE BACKPACK
A large dry bag is easy to carry from the car to the boat. Carrying it further is a different story. Two removable shoulder straps let you carry the Whale on your back when you need your hands free. Remove the straps when you want to use it as a traditional dry bag or pack it together with other equipment. This gives the Whale two useful roles without adding the bulk of a fully structured backpack.
✓ Two removable shoulder straps
✓ Backpack-style carrying

WHICH DRY BAG SHOULD I CHOOSE?
All dry bags shown are closed with the roll-top folded down 3 times.
The 5L, 15L and 30L DryTide dry bags are designed as a matching family of the same style, material and overall construction. The main difference is how much you need to carry. Choose the size based on the amount and type of gear you normally bring. 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.

Need More Than One Size?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the Whale 30L Dry Bag really waterproof?
Yes. The main compartment uses waterproof PVC material and welded seams. Waterproof performance also depends on closing the roll-top correctly. Roll the top down at least three times, bend the ends in the opposite direction to the roll and buckle them together.
Can the Whale 30L Dry Bag be submerged underwater?
The Whale is designed for rain, splashes and everyday exposure to water. When properly closed, very brief accidental submersion should not cause problems. However, the roll-top closure is not designed for intentional or prolonged underwater use because water pressure can slowly force water through the closure.
Is the external pocket waterproof?
No. The external quick-access pocket is splashproof, not waterproof. It is useful for keeping smaller items easy to reach and protecting them from light splashes and spray, but do not use it for valuables that need full waterproof protection.
Does the Whale 30L Dry Bag float?
Yes, it can float when properly closed with enough air trapped inside. If you squeeze most of the air out before closing the bag, there may not be enough buoyancy for it to float. A floating dry bag is not a flotation device and should never be used to support a person in the water.
How much can the 30L Dry Bag actually hold?
The Whale is designed for full-day loads and bulky gear. As a practical example, it can hold two full-length winter wetsuits. Depending on the size and shape of the items, it can also carry a towel, swimwear, dry clothes, camera gear, water and food for a day around water.
How do I clean the Whale Dry Bag?
Rinse the bag with fresh water after use, especially after using it in saltwater. Use mild soap if needed and allow the bag to dry before storing it. Keep solvents, insect repellents, sharp objects and excessive heat away from the bag.
