Salty Kit 30-litre Dry Bag https :// saltykit . com By Sarah Thornely ( www . supjunkie . co . uk )

Having used the Salty Kit 20L dry bag for a few years , I was delighted to have been sent the ‘ big brother ’ – an olive green 30L waterproof dry bag backpack .
It was instantly put to use here and abroad and has been a great addition to my collection of dry bags – they generally all have their use in different situations !
The bag is made from very tough PVC with welded waterproof seams . Inside , you have a mesh pocket with a zip to keep smaller items safe , such as keys and phones . Outside is a front mesh pocket with D rings and adjustable straps , which could easily store water bottles .
I love a dry bag with backpack straps ; this one has removable padded ones for extra comfort . There is also a removable shoulder strap if that ’ s your preference , and there are many strong D rings . The top can be closed two ways : either roll the top for waterproof protection or use the side clasps for everyday use out of the water . As with the smaller Salty Kit dry bag , this has a big , comfortable rubber grab handle .
If multi-day adventure paddling is your thing , this bag could be the perfect size as you can pack a lot in the 30L capacity . The bag had a good amount of use on the beach and was also thrown in the back of the van – the contents were well protected from water and sand along the way – personally , I love this colour , but it comes in black too .
Salty Kit products are well made and feel robust and able to cope with outdoor life – we also love that they are ‘ designed with love in Cornwall ’. Price : £ 58.00
