Henrycares Waterproof Dry Bag 20L 10L 5L, Sack with Phone
Henrycares Waterproof Dry Bag 20L 10L 5L, Sack with Phone Dry Bag and Long Adjustable Shoulder Strap Included, for Traval, Camping, Hiking, Swimming, Boating, Fishing (Black, 20L)
Purchased this to go paddle boarding. Easy to open and close and can be clipped onto the board. It kept everything nice and dry. I ordered the 10L. Was big enough to fit a change of clothes (shorts/top/underwear), a cropped jumper, small towel, water shoes and a drink. I ordered the white which looked like a solid colour but it is clear and completely see through.. so I hid my spare undies in the middle!
This product is sturdy and feels good quality.
I love all of the colours! Chose green 5 litre, but would love one in each colour! Waterproof, has not leaked! I have used this as a handbag when I forgot mine, so it is definitely versatile. Perfect size and performs as well as more expensive brands.
Great sized bag for me to take kayaking. I can fit all my essentials in it such as a small cool bag for my packed lunch, a small towel and my phone, keys and any other bits and pieces. An extra bonus is that it comes with an extra waterproof phone case so my phone has even extra protection. The bag feels hard wearing and durable. It is bright orange so it’s easy to find. It would make a great value for money gift for someone who does boasting, kayaking, paddle boarding etc
This dry bag is made from tough PVC and is soft to touch. The buckles snap together easily; there’s a choice of where to clip the carrying strap (side or top). Fill it full of stuff; roll the top over and clip the clips together. Transparent is good for being able to easily locate your stuff. However, perhaps you might want to ensure no important valuables are on show. Either that or go for a different colour.
This is my second dry bag, and there are a few differences from my more expensive one.
Firstly, this bag is semi-transparent, which I hadn’t realised when I bought it. I find it a bit strange that you can see the contents of the bag whilst you are carrying it around. On the other hand it does make finding stuff a little easier. Secondly, the plastic material is a little thinner than with my other bag, though still thick and rugged enough.
Both bags are the fold over top type, which seems to work well. A waterproof mobile phone neck bag is also included for free, which is a nice touch, as it means you can still store your mobile in the bag, even if it has wet clothes in it. There is a cross shoulder strap for carrying.
The stand out feature of this bag though is the cost 9.99 at time of review, which I think is a steal.
Review written by my wife:
I really like this dry bag. The 10l version is a great size – big enough to fit plenty in, but still feels relatively compact to carry. I love that I can fit my changing robe in it,
(See picture) which is going to be handy when I’m down at the beach or swimming at my local lido as it will mean I don’t need to worry about my changing robe getting wet if it rains and can keep it close by for a quick change in the winter. The material is waterproof as you’d expect, I got the bright yellow and really like the colour of it. It’s worth noting that the material is see through though so if you were wanting to stick valuables in it you’d want to wrap them up in your clothes/towel etc. On the plus side it make it easy to locate items in the bag. The bag also came with a waterproof phone/valuables case for taking out on the water. I’ve not had chance to try yet, but it looks like it’ll do the job.
It is fully waterproof and well finished. It is the fold over type and it comes with a carrying strap. It has no additional pockets of zips although they have thrown in a separate waterproof phone wallet. I would definitely not trust the phone wallet on its own and use it in conjunction with the main bag for extra protection.
My feeling is that this dry bag might have a place inside a larger rucksack to keep your clothes and other essential dry when hiking in wet weather. It might also be used as a casual day bag at a festival if rain is expected. It only has provision for across body wearing and cannot be double strapped to your back.
For the price it is actually fine and if you need a small cheap bag to keep your possessions dry then this could be it.
This review is for the 10L Green Henrycares Waterproof Dry Bag.
After unboxing the product, it’s pretty obvious the good quality material that was used to manufacture this dry bag. This waterproof dry bag seems pretty well durable and wear-resistant. I think that this bag could be ideal for short excursions under rainy conditions. It could also used to protect your electronic equipments or clothes during camping. The 10L bag provides a decent amount of space for few small items. If you intend to use this bag for long hikings or excursions, you should consider the bigger size available (20L). Although the product is advertised as 100% waterproof, I would advise not to submerge this bag in water as the top is not completely sealed. I think that this waterproof dry bag could be very handy attaching it to my backpack when camping. The strap could be easily attached to any of the external attachment points of a backpack. This would allow you to gain some extra space and capacity when you’re packing for camping. My only complaint so far is the semi-tranparent material. If you’re going to use this product as an external bag, I’m not very pleased to expose the content of my bag before the eyes of strangers.
