Anyone have any good advice for two 10 liter drybags? I've been using Sealine and they kinda suck...

NRS Hydra Lock or Tuff Sack would be my choice. I have had Tuff Sacks for years of guiding/instructing/multi-days and they still hold up. They are a bit heavier but worth carrying. The Hydra-Lock looks interesting for stuff that really needs to stay dry, like sleeping bag.

Watershed. Simples you can't get better bags.

But if you want economy the OR bags are getting nice now and they are starting to incorporate bags with dual closure systems like a zip lock top and then roll down flap. They are like a fraction of the cost of Watershed too!

You can borrow my stern bags if you need them.

Totally agree about Watershed but he asked about 10L dry bags... Even the Ocoee is 15L and the Futa is 21L.

My watershed bags are amazing!!!! Are you using them as float bags too or just something to put your stuff in?

I know you dont like your seal lines, but the seal line nimbus series is probably one of the best options. Lightweight but bombproof fabric. Much lighter than the ones you were using and, because the fabric is lighter they actually seal and stay dry. Also not that expensive.

Dan just for future reference you are not supposed to TWSS yourself, you need to allow others the opportunity.

Sam, Check out the OR Bags. I have several of these exact bags and they are really great. I would not hold them to the same standard as a watershed but price for price I have not found anything even close. They come in 5L, 10L and 15L

I have all three sizes, I used them for flyfishing and Rafting and have submerged them on multiple occasions without any leakage.

I also have these vision series but they are about the same quality as seal line. I personally like the ones above.
