Product Information
Full details
The Highlander X-Lite Waterproof Dry Bag is an essential storage solution for hikers, kayakers, and campers who need to keep their essentials protected from moisture without adding unnecessary weight to their pack. Its primary benefit is its ultra-lightweight design paired with a reliable 8,000mm to 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating, ensuring high-level water resistance. While it offers excellent protection for clothing and small electronics, it is not designed to be submerged for extended periods or used in high-pressure aquatic environments.

FAQs
Is this bag suitable for scuba diving?
No, this bag is designed for splash-resistance and rain protection during hiking and camping. It is not intended for underwater submersion.
What is the capacity of this bag?
This specific Highlander X-Lite model has a 4-liter capacity.
Can I fit a camera inside?
Yes, it is excellent for small cameras or phones, but ensure you do not overfill it so you can complete the necessary roll-top folds.
How do I clean the bag?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry completely before packing.
What does 8,000mm to 10,000mm hydrostatic head mean?
This measurement refers to the water pressure the fabric can withstand before moisture penetrates it; the higher the number, the more waterproof the material.
Does it float?
If trapped air remains inside during the sealing process, the bag will float, though it is not designed specifically as a flotation device.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage inside the bag
Ensure you have rolled the top down at least three times and that the buckle is firmly secured.
Buckle does not snap securely
Check the buckle for debris or sand. Rinse with fresh water and clear any obstructions from the locking mechanism.
Small hole or tear in material
Use a dedicated waterproof gear repair patch or specialized seam-sealing tape intended for lightweight technical fabrics.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight at only 45g
- High hydrostatic head rating (8,000mm - 10,000mm)
- Secure roll-top mechanism
- Space-saving compact design
Cons
- Not intended for underwater submersion
- Material is thin to save weight and may be prone to punctures on sharp objects
- Small 4L capacity may not fit bulky sleeping gear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the dry bag effectively requires consistent technique: fill the bag, align the top stiffening strips, roll the top over tightly at least three times, and click the buckle into place.
Regarding care, avoid storing sharp objects like knives or hiking poles directly against the fabric, as the lightweight material could tear under pressure. After a trip, rinse the bag with fresh water if it has been exposed to salt water or mud, and always hang it to air dry completely before storing it rolled up. This prevents mold and mildew buildup over time.
