- Load your gear, leaving 25-30% of space at the top
- Press top edges firmly together and align the stiffening strip
- Roll the top down at least 3-4 times tightly
- Fasten the quick-release buckles in the opposite direction to lock the airtight seal
How should I clean and store my dry bag?
Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth or hose down with mild soapy water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Storage: Ensure the bag is 100% dry inside and out before storing to prevent mildew. Store unrolled in a cool, dry place out of the direct sunshine
