Ortlieb Dry-Bag

Once you have sealed the roll-top closure, you simply open the valve to release trapped air while compressing the bag. This allows you to squeeze out excess volume, making it much easier to pack bulky items like sleeping bags or down jackets into tight spaces.

Yes, the roll-top closure provides a reliable seal against the elements. However, for it to be fully effective, you must roll the top at least 5-6 times, which will add about 15-20 cm to the overall length of the bag.

While the main body is designed to be ultralight, the base is constructed from a robust, abrasion- and tear-resistant fabric. This reinforced bottom protects the bag from wear when you set it down on rocky or uneven ground.

The broad base loop is designed to make unpacking much easier. It gives you a secure handle to hold onto while you pull your gear out, or it can be used to anchor the bag inside your pack or tent.

The 22-liter capacity refers to the bag's volume before compression. The primary benefit of this model is that you can significantly reduce that volume once your gear is inside, allowing you to fit a 22-liter load into a much smaller footprint.
