Ortlieb says

No air left! If you can say this about your Ortlieb compression dry bag, you will be happy about gaining further space inside your pack. By means of the valve mechanism air is expelled from the bag, reducing the packing volume to a minimum. The ultralight nylon fabric PS10 is waterproof – an ideal supplement for non waterproof baggage. The roll closure with a fabric stiffener bar is easy for one person to handle.

Our Verdict

These Lightweight Dry bags with valves are made of super light waterproof nylon fabric, perfectly suited as internal organizers inside non waterproof luggage such as sewn rucksacks or bike panniers. The reinforced round bottom is made of folding and tear resistant fabric and features a base loop for easier unpacking of the bag. The top end needs to be rolled at least 5-6 times after packing before closing the buckles to ensure your gear is protected from water, dust and dirt.

These Dry bags come with a valve at the bottom which can be used to remove the excess air from the bag, reducing the packing volume to a minimum. The lightweight bags roll down small when not in use so they don’t take up much room or add very much weight to your bag. They are available in a 3 sizes and 2 colours. Using different coloured dry bags can help to organise and locate your items quicker.

To keep your kit organised and protected, a waterproof dry bag is invaluable!
