Waterproof Bags & Dry Storage

Protect your essential equipment from the elements with the SALT Of The Sea range of waterproof bags. Designed for the rugged Australian coastline, our collection provides reliable dry storage for surfers, divers, and ocean explorers. Whether you are heading out for a quick morning session or packing for an extended expedition, these bags are built to withstand salt spray, sand, and heavy rain. From compact pouches for your valuables to massive gear bags for your full Diving Gear setup, our range ensures your dry clothes and electronics stay protected while your wet Wetsuits stay contained after a day in the water.

What is this page best for?

This page is the ultimate resource for finding durable, marine-grade storage solutions. It is best for anyone who needs to keep gear 100% dry in wet environments or manage wet equipment after a session. Our bags are a staple for boaties, kayakers, and shore-based fishers who require puncture-resistant materials and secure closures. If you are looking for a way to organise your Spearfishing Wetsuits, fins, and masks, or simply need a reliable dry bag for a weekend coastal mission, the SALT Of The Sea collection offers practical, field-tested options for every water-based activity.

Choosing the right capacity

Selecting the right bag size depends on your gear and the length of your trip. Our range includes several versatile volumes:

• 5L & 10L: Perfect for small essentials like phones, keys, wallets, and sunblock.
• 20L: The ideal day-trip size, large enough for a towel, spare clothes, and a light jacket.
• 45L Fin Dry Bag: Purpose-built for divers, this elongated bag fits long fins and dive accessories comfortably.
• 140L Expedition Bag: Designed for serious adventurers needing to transport entire Men’s Wetsuits or Women’s Wetsuits kits and heavy hardware across multiple days.

Warmth, stretch and durability

While bags don't offer warmth or stretch like our neoprene ranges, durability is where they excel. Every SALT Of The Sea bag is crafted from heavy-duty, waterproof PVC or reinforced nylon with high-frequency welded seams. This construction eliminates needle holes where water could seep in. The classic roll-top closure system creates a mechanical seal that is both simple and highly effective against immersion. These bags are designed to be thrown on boat decks or sandy beaches, featuring abrasion-resistant bases to ensure they survive season after season of hard use in the sun and salt.

FAQs

How do I ensure a dry bag is properly sealed?

To achieve a watertight seal, align the top edges of the bag, roll them down tightly at least three to four times, and then buckle the clips together. Ensure there is some air trapped inside if you want the bag to float, or purge the air before rolling if you need to save space.

Are these bags suitable for protecting electronics?

Our dry bags provide excellent protection against splashes, rain, and brief surface immersion. However, for expensive electronics or cameras, we recommend "double bagging" using a smaller dry pouch inside a larger bag for extra peace of mind during heavy marine use.

Can I use these bags for wet gear storage?

Yes, they work both ways. They are excellent for keeping wet Kids Wetsuits and towels contained after a swim, preventing salt water from soaking into your car seats or upholstery. Just ensure you rinse and dry the bag thoroughly after use to prevent mould.

How do I clean and maintain my SALT Of The Sea bag?

After exposure to salt water or sand, rinse your bag with fresh water inside and out. Use a mild soap for stubborn stains, but avoid harsh chemicals. Always hang the bag upside down to air dry completely in the shade before storing it away in a cool, dry place.
