Why We Like The Sea to Summit Evac Dry Bag
Why risk our down puffy jacket or sleeping bag when we can safely pack them in Sea to Summit's waterproof Evac Dry Bag. Fully waterproof and seam-sealed, it features an air-permeable eVent base, which allows us to seal the bag and squeeze out air for better packability. With a 10,000mm waterproof rating, it's not meant to be submerged, but it's suitable for paddle sports and works best as a dry storage sack that we stuff into our duffle or backpack to keep our gear dry.

The dry bag ROCKS!!
I used this dry bag all the time for 12 day trips that I lead in the Adirondack Mountains. It rained for 10 of the days on.my last trip and every thing I had was soaked... except the one set of clean clothes I had in this dry bag. I highly recommend this product especially of your looking to conserve space and weight. Also, the permeable bottom makes it sooooo easy to roll tight!

Great size and stays dry
I use the 8 L bag for my books and journal on canoeing trips and it is the perfect size for that for me and my paper always stays dry and I trust them.

Must have for any adventure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to be chosen to test out a 8 Litter Vac Dry Bag. I took it out on my 3 week multi sport adventure in the four corners area. For my 1st test I took it out on a 6 day solo backpacking trip in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. In the beginning of the trip it was used for clothes. I loved how when you rolled it up the air went out of the bottom. It stayed compressed just long enough to put in my pack along with my old stuff sacks for nice secure fit. I then used it on a 4 day river trip just 2 days after coming out of Canyonlands. I again used it for clothes to start out the trip. On day 2 I decided to test the waterproof of the bag. I attached the bag to the boat so it would get wet but not submerged. I put one of my sun shirts in there to see if any wet spots happened. It took a nice pounding for about 4 hrs without any wet spots on my shirt. Even used it as a day bag with the shoulder sling for a little hike off camp. Even held some wet gear in the bag without getting my other gear wet. Overall I'm very impressed with the Evac Dry Bag. I own several other Sea to Summit bags and after seeing how this bag held up, I considering these as a replacement.

versatile and lightweight
I’ve been using the 8L Evac Dry Bag on spring hikes and snowshoes to keep my extra layers dry and protected inside my pack. While it’s larger than I need for this purpose, it’s a versatile size because it can also fit either my 30-degree or 10-degree bag for multi-day trips, and it's super lightweight. It’s not a compression bag, but the eVent design allows you to squeeze out the air after packing to take up less volume. The fact that it's waterproof gives it an edge over my water-resistant Ultra-Sil Compression Sack, and I'll probably switch to the Evac on most trips. The 8L Evac bag will compress my sleeping bag to a similar volume as my small (10L?) Ultra-Sil Compression Sack, but it must be constrained to prevent it from reinflating. Weight for these two bags is essentially the same. I can’t speak to its durability yet, but I’ll update my review after it’s gotten more use. Also should mention that I love the bright blue color!

Durable and keeps my stuff dry!
I have used a lot of dry bags and some have not lasted long and the seams are not fully waterproof but this dry bag is great! I use it to keep books and the items dry while canoeing.

Same quality as always!
At this point I probably own close to everyone of sea to summits dry bags and about 15 bags in total. In my opinion you can’t find a nicer dry bag. I specifically bough this bag here for backpacking and bikepacking. What a cool design in the method that it compresses and releases air out. I’ve already used the bag and they work great! Can’t wait to really test them on a big bikepack coming up.

Evac Dry Bag
I can't say enough good things about all of the Sea to Summit dry bags. I like the technology of the eVent that allows air to push out when you compress your clothes or sleeping bag. I go on many wilderness trips in a canoe or kayak. I was impressed the dry bags held up being roughly stuffed into a kayak during a 108-mile trip in the Everglades Wilderness Waterway. I have not had any issues with any of the bags.
