Handmade ultralight waterproof roll-top bags are a perfect way to keep organized without the weight penalty of most traditional dry bags. These bags are sewn and seam taped, when used properly (rolled three times then buckled) they are essentially 100% waterproof.
If you are not sure which size you need, we would recommend going up one size, the weight penalty is negligible.
Fabric options include:
-
Dyneema CT5K.18 - The OG of UL, our lightest option, while strong for its weight it does have limitations to be considered for abrasion resistance. Best for ultralight hikers who prioritize weight, best used inside of a backpack.
-
Xpac UX10 - 100% fully woven Ultra-PE face material. This material is slightly heavier than Dyneema but extremely abrasion resistant. The white is semi translucent and black has a satin finish. Best for those who need more a more abrasion resistant fabric, great for inside or outside the pack or bikepacking.
-
