Still haven't found a backpacking stuff sack that is ultra-lightweight and waterproof? Look no further than the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil dry sack.

Siliconized on the outside, tough Cordura® nylon is weatherproof, lightweight and durable for hiking and backpacking in wet conditions
Polyurethane coating on the inside permits the fabric to be seam taped; waterproof seams are double-stitched and factory-taped for added weather protection
Hypalon® watertight roll-top closure keeps contents secure and protected; fold the Hypalon strip down first and make at least 3 rolls before closing the buckle
Roll-top fabric sacks are not intended for complete submersion; sensitive electronic devices should be double-bagged or packed in a waterproof hard case for maximum protection
Ultra-Sil sacks are designed for use inside a backpack and are not suitable for boating
Comes in assorted colors only; sorry, specific color requests cannot be accommodated

Imported.

Comments about Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack -8.5 x 21:

I bought this bag as a lightweight bear bag, hung on a bear pole every night, for backpacking. It did great for that use. We experienced lots of rain and this bag kept our stuff dry. HOWEVER, I then used it on a white water rafting trip and although I folded the top over carefully 4 times, EVERYTHING in the bag got soaked. The bag sat on the bottom of the raft in 1-3" of water (as rafts are wont to accumulate in white water), and just soaked it up. Very embarassing as several boat-mates had put their lunches in my awesome lightweight DRY bag!! Great for backpacking. Terrible for rafting. Tip: test your bag at home in a sink or tub before using it.

Comments about Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack -8.5 x 21:

I'm wishing I would have went with the Ultra-Light instead of the Ultra-Sil. The material is just to thin for anything other than clothing. I had a few things stored in one and at the end of my trip noticed a wear spot from sliding it into the back of a kayak. Not a characteristic you want to have in a bag designed to keep things dry.

Comments about Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack -8.5 x 21:

4L bag used to protect electronics (cell phones, etc.) during a canoe camping trip. Never completely submerged, but no problem with paddle splash and rain.

Make sure to roll the top enough. I tested it by partially filling with water (before leaving..) and found that 3 rolls allowed some dripping and 4+ was watertight.

used this on a weekend sailing trip, to hold my phone an camera. worked great! easy to get things in and out, rolled up easy. When closed, makes loop that is perfect for carrying or slipping over your wrist. Can also clip around/to things to keep from getting lost. Was able to take my camera out on the deck, out on excursions on the dingy, etc without a worry about anything getting wet or lost. Love these bags.

Comments about Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack -8.5 x 21:

This product is perfectly waterproof and does its job fine. HOWEVER. It does not have a d-ring as its counterpart the Sea-to-Summit lightweight dry sack does. Its a decent piece of equipment but save yourself the time and money and go for the one with the d-ring. Its such a little thing that makes the bag so much better. If you are thinking you will attach your dry bag by clipping a caribener to the bag closure, don't. It causes the bag to pop open.

Used these one time and 2 out of 3 ripped. All we did was carry them on our pack. One had a therma rest and the other a tent. The tent poles were not even loose in the bag.

Comments about Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack -8.5 x 21:

These are designed for one thing only. To put stuff in to keep it waterproof in a backpack while in the back country where every ounce counts. I would not use them for anything rougher than that. That being said, these sacks rock. I've used them on three continents in a wide variety of conditions and never had one tear or leak. I keep my first aid kit in one and a small survival kit in another. Last time I checked there were no carabiners inside my backpack, so I don't really care if the d-ring is there or not.

Comments about Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack -8.5 x 21:

Loved how lightweight this was, and got my hopes up. Like others, found the fabric tore too easily. And THAT is not waterproof! Would also agree, having the D ring is a nice feature that this bag lacks.
