Customer Reviews

I recently purchased the Coleman Dry Gear Bag (size Small - 24" x 10") from Amazon for a 4-wheeling trip to West Virginia. As it turned out, I didn't really need to use it, but in case it rained I wanted to have it with me.
As usual, the shipping from Amazon was speedy, and I received the bag in under a week. Unfortunately, I wish I had taken more time to look at my local Bass Pro shop first. This bag is around a 20oz bag, which I found to be almost too small for what I needed/wanted it for. It's also a very stiff bag. The little loops that are attached are nice, as is the translucent see-thru nature of the plastic. But in terms of overall construction quality, it's not as nice as a 30oz bag I could have gotten locally for around $12.
Honestly, I'm not 100% certain that this bag would be the best if there were a chance of it getting submerged or sitting in standing water. After putting items in mine and rolling it, I could still push air out. That tells me the seal wasn't very solid/complete. Conversely, I have a small "SealLine Baja Dry Bags (Spring 2010)" bag that I can NOT do that on. And the bag I tried out at Bass Pro could have doubled as a pillow with the way it held air.
In the end, it's caveat emptor. You get what you are paying for with this bag. If you are looking for something cheap and simple just to keep the rain or mud off of your stuff, then this might be a good choice for a relatively low price. But if you are looking for something that is more durable and air-tight, I'd encourage you to take a look at some of your other options, both on Amazon and at stores like Bass Pro or Cavenders.

We bought these bags to use on a canoe trip to protect our gear. It turns out we've ended up using them for our regular boating trips when we want to assure that anything water sensitive (cameras, phones etc) are protected. They are nice and firm, not too mushy. I really like that they are clear so we can see who's items are in which (we have several).
The yellow tabs are lashing tabs and we use those when on canoe trips to make sure they don't get away. You can use a Carabineer to lash and remove them easily, or run a rope right through under the tab.
This bag is pretty small and good for small items such as cameras, a wallet, and other small electronics. If you want to put some clothes and a towel in too, try the larger 29x13 bag Coleman 29x13 Dry Gear Bag. That'll give you enough room to have what you need and roll the top down to seal the bag too. The sizes are before closing so by the time you close it up, there's less space than anticipated.
