Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This past summer, I took a trip in a canoe down 400 miles of the Mississippi. I talked with a lot of people and salespeople about the BEST bag I could buy to keep my stuff dry for the adventure. Everybody who had ever heard of the SEALINE Dry Bags recommended them. These things are tough. They are thick and do not rip easily. My favorite part of this bag is that it is clear.
I was able to keep all of my clothes for the trip in this bag (I do pack light though). Being that it is a clear bag, it was easy to see what I was grabbing to wear. At night, temperatures got below 30 degrees and all I had was a tent to sleep in. Wet clothes would have been my death and so, this bag saved my life in a round-a-bout kind of way.
Even when it rained... even when waves crashed over the canoe's sides... even when I threw this bag on the ground and in the morning and thick dew saturated everything else- the contents I kept in this bag were dry as a bone. Often, this sat in the bottom of the canoe sloshing around in water!
Just to clarify, our bones are not really dry. They are actually living tissue. The contents in the bag were as dry as a bone is a figure of speech which, I believe, refers to the bones of a dead mouse but that's just an assumption... and you know what happens when we make assumptions... oh, wait- I assumed you knew.
Happy shopping and thanks for reading this review. I hope it helped!
