Review on Sea to Summit Lightweight Dry Sack: Versatile & Waterproof All-Purpose Dry Bag by Sean Tops

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for sensitive electronics

I got this to pack my smartphone instead of using a dry box. It seemed like a good idea as it would be flexible and fit better in SeaDoo's small space. So I ordered it and after about 3 weeks it was there. However, the "do not submerge” warning on the label came as an unpleasant surprise. It's like a "Dry Bag" but apparently it's only dry when not submerged in water. Maybe "wet bag". Not sure. I certainly wouldn't buy this if you want to protect an electronic device. After the Do Not Immerse warning, the label requires the use of TWO pouches to protect sensitive electronic equipment. May I suggest getting it right the first time. I'm disappointed in myself for not paying close attention to the fine print, but that's a caveat that potential buyers should consider before making a purchase and wondering what to do with the 'wet bag'. Revain requested the ratings for this product in terms of waterproofing, durability and weight. . Well, it's supposedly waterproof, but not for electronic devices. If you have something you're not afraid of getting wet, then why a dry sack? As for durability, I won't be using it, so it should last until the next Ice Age. But it doesn't weigh much. Maybe as much as I spent $18 on it. So here it is, if you're looking for a bag that isn't completely dry, doesn't weigh a lot, doesn't protect your gear (unless you bring two), and is really light, then this is the gear for you .

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
