Gelert Kayak Bag Review

A dry bag (or kayak bag as they’re sometimes sold as), are simply a waterproof bag to help keep your stuff dry if you are canoeing or hiking.

We’ve been using the Gelert Kayak Bag for a few years now and not had any leaks.

Here’s our video showing the Gelert Kayak Bag:

As you can see from the video they are a really simple concept.

We strap ours to the front of our family kayak, and it also goes inside by backpack as an extra waterproof lining – in fact, it is permanently packed as a quick grab bag of useful emergency items for hiking with the family.

Pictures of dry bags usually show a rather solid looking structure that you would think seals shut, probably like a zip lock bag. However, that’s not the case.  You simply fold the top over a number of times and clip it together.

This may come as a bit of a surprise if you’ve not used one of these bags before.

It doesn’t sound very waterproof, but our dry bag has never let in any water.

Getting a dry bag is certainly a useful investment.
