Choose the right series

Choose the Silva dry bag series that suits you best. R-Pet Dry Bags come in 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 liters and are made from 100% recycled material that is both lightweight and durable. The soft bags are color-coded by size so you can easily keep track of what you’ve packed where. Store your phone and sunscreen in the 3-liter bag, and pack socks along with dry base layers and outerwear in the 12-liter bag. Larger dry bags can hold rain gear, boots, or anything else you need to keep dry and protected.

Built-in Vent for Smarter Packing

The TPU and TPU-V series dry bags are our most durable, and their transparent material allows you to see what’s inside. TPU-V models feature a built-in valve that lets you squeeze out the air from your dry bag, allowing for extremely compact packing in tight spaces. These dry bags are perfect for those who want to maximize their space!

The 70D series, made from durable nylon, features even clearer color-coding so you can find the right dry bag even faster.

Packing soft means packing smart

Packing soft is generally a more convenient way to pack in your boat compared to using hard bags. Soft items are easier to stow away.

Silva’s dry bags are designed for any occasion when you need waterproof packing. Whether you're in a kayak, on a boat, or hiking on solid ground, these bags keep your gear dry. If it starts pouring rain during your hike or snowing during your ski trip, your items will stay dry in your backpack, so you never have to worry about soggy gear weighing you down.

Plus, you can pack frequently and for extended trips with our dry bags, as they are extra durable.

Creative Uses for Your Dry Bag

We’ve developed our dry bags for smart and efficient packing, but we get tips from our customers about even more clever uses. Just as a dry bag keeps water out, it can also be used to keep water in.

One user showed us how she used her smallest dry bag as a water bowl for her dog on a hot summer day. Another user filled his dry bag with air and used it as flotation when swimming across a larger body of water. Afterwards, you can pack wet swimwear or towels in your dry bag to keep moisture away from the rest of your gear! This tip works just as well on the boat as it does on your way home from the pool.

Cozy tent lighting

Create cozy tent lighting by placing your headlamp inside a dry bag and hanging it up. The TPU-V and TPU series feature hangers inside the smaller models, making it easy to suspend your headlamp. We recommend including our waterproof Explore headlamp in your gear—it’s waterproof up to IPX7.

Fill your dry bag with air, and you’ve got a soft backrest or neck pillow for when you’re lying down and listening to the weather forecast in the evening.
