I clicked the link but I cant see where it explains what I'm asking.

just giving me the option to buy stuff...which is not that helpful

Hi
Have a look at over board web site. Waterproof Rating System - Dry Bags - Waterproof Case | OverBoard . They explain how the ratings work. I have a few of their products with no problems.
Cheers

Look up bags for rafting 'rafting dry bags'
There is plenty of info there.
If you want to waterproof a duffel bag against rain or a very quick dunk, then use Nikwax.

Thats perfect thank you! exactly what I'm looking for.


And ironically the over board bags were the ones I was looking at on ebay so I'm glad you gave me the link because they are about 30/40bux cheaper

Hi
My son is in the army and he uses those tube dry bags in his pack. He said they have even floated their packs across the pool and the pack got soaked and every bit of clothing in the dry bags stayed dried. He reckons to get atleast 3. 1 for shirts and tops, 1 for pants and 1 for socks. Just because of disease.
Thanks mick

Hi Mick thanks I do have a dry tube...but im looking for a duffel type bag to fill up the compartment behind me

I intent to get a second dry tube to put other bits in the hatch

x2 on the overboard duffels very convenient on the kayaks much more so then the standard dry bag's. Although they are really only water resistant great for putting towels a spare set of clothes in or safety gear. Whilst they will stand up to splashes of water full or partial submersion will generally result in the intrusion of some water albeit a small amount. When it comes to important items keys, phones and so go down the path of hard case storage such as pelican cases a small investment can save you a lot of money and time. Learn mistakes from others some of the modern cars which are overly reliant on electronics don't like wet keys and with no keys and a phone it can become a kayak trip rather quickly.
