Dry bag
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2015) |
A dry bag is a type of flexible container which seals in a
watertight manner. Dry bags are often used in kayaking, canoeing, rafting, canyoning,[1] and other outdoor activities in which sensitive items would otherwise get wet, as well as extreme sports such as skiing and snowboarding
. Dry bags are used to protect electronics from water. They are also used to prevent sleeping bags and spare clothing from getting wet, as in a camping context.
Construction
They are often a construction of plastic film, plastic-coated fabric, or waterproof fabric which is formed to create an impermeable, waterproof bag. Construction techniques include welding, sewing (a seam-tape is used to seal over any needle holes) and gluing.
Sizes
A large range of sizes are available, ranging from small bags large enough for a camera or smartphone to mid-size bags large enough for a sleeping bag, to large bags big enough for several sleeping bags and a folded tent.
