Product Information

Full details

The Sea to Summit Evac Ultralight Compression Dry Bag is designed for backpackers and campers who need to maximize internal storage while keeping gear completely dry. This lightweight, 8-liter storage solution utilizes an innovative air-permeable fabric base to purge excess air, effectively compressing clothing and sleeping gear without the need for complex valves. While it provides exceptional water protection and space efficiency, users must remember that the roll-top closure requires at least three rolls to ensure a proper waterproof seal.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this bag completely waterproof?

The bag is highly water-resistant and suitable for protecting gear from rain and splashes, but it is not intended for prolonged submersion.

Can I use this for liquid storage?

No, this bag is designed for gear storage only and will leak if filled with liquids.

Does the eVent base let water in?

No, the eVent fabric is engineered to be air-permeable but water-impermeable, allowing air out while blocking moisture.

What happens if the fabric gets a tear?

Small tears can often be repaired with technical gear repair tape, but significant damage may compromise the waterproof integrity.

Is the 8L size suitable for a sleeping bag?

It is ideal for many ultralight or down-filled sleeping bags, provided they are compressible enough to fit the volume.

Troubleshooting

Air is not releasing when compressing

Ensure the bag is not overstuffed, which can obstruct the eVent fabric base. Flatten the base slightly to allow air to escape.

Water is getting inside

Check that the roll-top closure has at least three full rolls and that the buckle is properly clicked shut. Verify the bag has not been punctured.

Pros and Cons

Significantly reduces gear volume by pushing out trapped air
Extremely lightweight construction suitable for ultralight backpacking
Durable, water-resistant material with taped seams

Cons

Roll-top closure must be sealed correctly to guarantee waterproof status

Compression strength is limited by the fabric's tensile limit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines for setup and care:

Loading: Pack your items inside, ensuring you do not overfill past the designated fill line.
Sealing: Fold the hypalon strip over the top of the opening and roll it down at least three times before buckling the straps.
Compressing: Tighten the side compression straps evenly to achieve the desired volume.
Care: Keep the bag away from sharp objects that could puncture the nylon material. Clean by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap; ensure the bag is completely dry before storage to prevent mold growth. Avoid machine washing or drying as this can damage the waterproof coating and the air-permeable base.
