Your Kit:
Keeping it dry, in reach and portage-able
Canoeing’s wet. There is stuff in your kit that shouldn’t be. Hence, dry sacks, dry bags, pack liners, dry boxes and barrels.
Canoeing also means carrying your kit around (how do you pronounce “portage”?) and having some of it in reach on the water. Portage packs and barrel harnesses, thwart, underseat and bow bags all help with this.
We’ve can help with both.
Keeping it dry:
There are dry sacks, dry bags, blue barrels, dry boxes and pack liners - we have some of each. Different sizes are available.
FYI: Dry sacks/bags come in two categories (aren’t there always two categories?).
One category includes lightweight versions of dry sacks or bags that are intended to organize contents and then be placed in a larger, tougher container. Pack liners fall into this category.
The other category of dry sacks/bags are tougher and do not require an external container. Dry barrels (also known as blue barrels) and dry boxes are also in this category.
Sea to Summit uses specific terminology for each: “Dry sacks” are the lighter weight versions. “Dry bags” are the tougher versions.
Some of the NRS dry “sacks” are tough enough to be used by themselves, so you’ll need to read their descriptions.
Our stock is a bit low at the moment, but we are expecting our orders to roll in during the off season. Call if you’re looking for something specific
