Product Information
Full details
The Exped Versa Drybag (40 Litre, Blue) is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable waterproof protection for their gear. Its key benefit is complete defense against water and dust, ensuring contents remain dry. A potential caveat is its capacity, which may be too large for minimalists or too small for extensive expeditions. This durable, Bluesign approved 70D recycled nylon bag features a PU coating, fully taped seams, a secure roll-top closure, and a convenient grab handle, making it ideal for protecting larger items during trekking or water-based activities.

FAQs
Is this bag suitable for carrying water?
No, the Exped Versa Drybag is designed for protecting gear from water and dust, not for carrying potable water. It is not food-grade or intended for submersion.
What does 'Bluesign approved' mean?
Bluesign approval indicates that the material was produced using a sustainable process that minimizes environmental impact and ensures consumer safety.
Can I machine wash this drybag?
It is not recommended to machine wash the drybag. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method. Always air dry completely.
How many times should I roll the top for a waterproof seal?
For a secure, waterproof seal, you should roll the top opening down at least three times.
What is the difference between this and a smaller drybag?
The primary difference is the capacity. The 40-litre size is suitable for larger items or a greater quantity of gear compared to smaller drybags.
Can this bag protect electronics from water?
Yes, it offers excellent waterproof protection for electronics against rain and splashes, provided the roll-top closure is properly secured and the bag is not submerged.
Troubleshooting
Bag is not fully waterproof.
Ensure the roll-top is folded down at least three times and the buckle is securely fastened. Check that all seams are intact and free from damage. Do not submerge the bag.
Contents are difficult to see inside.
Ensure the light-colored inner coating is clean. Try using a small headlamp or flashlight to illuminate the interior when searching for items.
Roll-top closure is difficult to secure.
Avoid overfilling the bag. Ensure the fabric at the top is smooth and free of creases before folding. Press down firmly as you fold.
Material seems less pliable in cold weather.
This is normal for coated nylon fabrics. Handle the bag gently in very cold temperatures to avoid potential cracking or damage. Warm it slightly before attempting to fold the closure tightly.
