What is this page best for?

This page is the ultimate resource for finding high-quality waterproof storage designed for the marine environment. It is best for surfers, spearfishers, and divers who need to keep their dry clothes, electronics, and valuables safe while they are in the water.

If you need a dependable way to organize and protect your kit during coastal travel or boat-based expeditions, this collection has you covered.

Choosing the right capacity

Selecting the right bag size depends on your activity and how much gear you need to protect:

• 5L to 20L Dry Bags: Perfect for everyday essentials like wallets, phones, towels, and a spare shirt. These are ideal for keeping in a bucket or taking on a kayak.
• 45L Gear Bags: Specifically sized for technical equipment, including Spearfishing Wetsuits, fins, and masks. A great size for a standard day trip.
• 140L Expedition Bags: Built for the serious explorer. These can hold multiple suits, camping gear, and hardware for long-haul trips to remote coastlines.

Warmth, stretch and durability

While "stretch" is usually for neoprene, durability is the cornerstone of SALT Of The Sea storage. Our bags are crafted from heavy-duty, puncture-resistant materials featuring high-frequency welded seams. This construction ensures a completely watertight seal that outlasts traditional stitched bags. The roll-top closure system is simple and fail-safe, providing a reliable barrier against moisture even in heavy rain or rough seas. Reinforced carry straps and ergonomic handles make it easy to transport heavy loads across soft sand or rocky paths, ensuring your gear stays protected season after season.

FAQs

Are these dry bags fully submersible?

Our dry bags are designed to protect against heavy spray, rain, and brief accidental immersions. When properly sealed with the roll-top closure, they will float if dropped in the water. However, they are not intended for prolonged underwater use or high-pressure submersion.

How do I ensure a watertight seal with a roll-top bag?

To get the best seal, align the top edges, fold them over tightly at least three to four times, and then clip the buckles together. Expelling excess air before sealing will make the bag more compact, while leaving some air inside can help the bag float.

Can I store my wet wetsuit inside these bags?

Yes, our larger dry bags are excellent for transporting wet gear like Kids Wetsuits back from the beach without soaking your car's interior. Just ensure you rinse the bag with fresh water afterward to prevent salt buildup and odours.

How should I clean and maintain my SALT dry storage gear?

Simply rinse the interior and exterior with fresh water after use to remove salt, sand, and dirt. Wipe it down or hang it to dry completely in the shade before storing it. Avoid using harsh chemicals or storing the bag in direct sunlight for extended periods.
