Sea to SummitBig River Dry Bag, Ultra-Durable Roll-Top Dry Storage

Sea to Summit Big River Dry Bag, 3-LiterI purchased this as a stuff sack for my  Coleman Compact Dual Fuel Stove  while backpacking and car camping. I wanted something to protect the rest of my gear from fuel vapors and the sharp edges on the stove, but I didn't want to carry around the huge Coleman plastic storage case. A gallon size Ziploc bag wasn't cutting it anymore.Pros:- Material is thick enough and sturdy enough to buffer the sharp edges on the stove pot supports. The fact that the rolled closure is also bulked up on top of the burner and pot supports helps provide an additional buffer. I wouldn't trust putting this stove in Sea to Summit's lighter bags. I'd be too worried about punctures.- Heavy duty and just enough volume to get the job done in my situation. I even toss a lighter in the bottom.- Keeps residual fuel vapors out of the rest of my pack.- The closed top serves as a convenient carrying handle.Cons:- I can only get two rolls on the closure, but that seems to be more than enough to seal in residual fuel vapors.Dimensions:- Top opening diameter: About 6 1/4"- Opened height: 10 3/4"- Closed height (with only two folds): About 6 1/2"

Bought 2 of the small bags last week on Amazon. Took them out of the package today, made sure to roll the top over 3 times before sealing, and put in a little toilet tissue for testing. Let FLOAT (did not submerge) in bathtub for no longer than 45 seconds. Toilet paper wet inside both bags. Will be returning these ASAP.

I purchased this as a gift and it was perfect, compact and watertight.

Absolutely worthless. Tested it and it does not seal at all. If you want a mostly dry bag use a Ziploc bag, if you want a real dry bag buy from a reputable brand.

I own 6 of these bags in sizes from 3L to 20L. I use them to keep cloths, food, supplies, tent, etc. dry in my touring kayak. Sea to Summit uses 420D ripstop nylon to construct the Big River dry bags. This makes them very durable, but a bit heavier than other bags. I don't plan to put them in or on a backpack and carry them on my back so the additional ounces of weight is not an issue in my application. I have had no leakage issues. Every bag I have read reviews about has a few users complaining about leaks. If the flap is not folded down correctly at least 3 times any bag will potentially leak. Gather the material uniformly at the top, push out as much air from the bag as possible, start folding the end down. Make sure it is folded down uniformly- no creases or gaps. A minimum of 3 folds is required. Once complete, bow the ends to fasten the buckle.
