With any of the dry bags on this list, you can’t go wrong. For backcountry-based trips where we are carrying a lot of gear, we are partial to having only as many bags as we need (one to three for overnight and maybe three to five for a weeklong trip) and as many lightweight bags as possible. In order to do this, we usually have a few different types of bags with us.
If you are also traveling in a smaller vessel with limited space (like a sea kayak, paddleboard, or pack raft), we’d recommend the NRS Bill’s Bag (the most versatile large hauler) or the Sea to Summit Big River Dry Bags (the most versatile in size on our list).
