Use it during a torrential downpour and everything inside stayed super dry. Excellent product.

Dry bags are one of those products that you didn't realize you needed until you have a few. The KastKing 30L dry bag is ideal for carrying a full change of clothes if you're someone who works in or around the water and getting into something dry and warm could be the difference between life and death.I do a good bit of kayaking and duck hunting. Both activities put me in or near bodies of water that are hovering just above freezing temperatures. Because of this, it's important to keep emergency supplies on hand, like a full change of clothes if you were to fall in the water. Of course you can also carry nonessential items as well, like beach towels, food, and other stuff. This bag is large enough, and the design is sturdy enough that I would feel totally comfortable storing clothes, fire starters, flares and signals, and other emergency equipment in a kayak, boat, or ATV.The bag is of good quality and appears to be 100% air and water tight. Mine arrived with two shoulder straps, presumably so I could use it as a backpack if I needed to. Pricing was great and delivery was quick and efficient. I would recommend this to anybody who worked or played around water, dirt, sand, or mud. It also came with a dry bag for your cell phone, which is a nice added bonus.Overall, I'm impressed with the item and look forward to many years of use with it.

I purchased the 10l dry bag for float tube fishing. I wanted a place to keep a towel, my keys/wallet, maybe a spare shirt. Stuff I wanted on me but wouldn't need and didn't want to get wet.The first thing I did when I got my dry bag was try it out. I rolled it as instructed and gave it a giant bear hug and tried hard to squeeze out the air inside. I was able to get it to "unroll" once, but I squeezed way more than I think this bag will ever have to endure on the water and it held up fine.I filled up a 5 gallon bucked and stuck some tissues in the phone case, and dry bag (big compartment and zipper one). I then submerged the bag and phone case and left it there for hours. I came back and the inside of the bag was dry. I did notice when I opened it, a little bit of water came in because of the way I was holding the bag. Some of the water that was on the outside sort of trickled in because I was pushing down on the lip. That's my bad though.There is a plastic liner on the top of the dry bag that I think helps with the seal? It is sort of clingy getting stuff in and out, for me this is fine since my intent with this bag is to keep a few select things dry while I'm on the water, and then grabbing them when I'm off. If you're going to be opening and closing this bag a lot, this would get annoying.The outside zipper compartment is definitely not waterproof as the damp destroyed tissues would attest to.The phone case seems solid. The tissue was dry. I like that it's floating. The mechanism is there are two clasps the hold together the folded part. You can fold the case three times (like the dry bag) and on each fold is a sealing clasp (like a ziplock). But I don't think the mechanism to get a phone in and out is very convenient. I have a different case with 1 zipper and clasp covers that clamp down. I think I'll stick to that one, though this is a nice backup or gift to someone else.I'm very content with the case, confident it'll do well in the water and keep my stuff dry.

I'm really pleased with the 20L Dry Bag.After first inspection all seams, strapping, buckles and zipper are all very well sewn. First time I sealed the bag it took me a couple minutes to perfect my method but the bag is absolutely AIR TIGHT! The zipper opens into a small pocket perfect for smaller items you don't want to dig for. The built in handle is very nice but it does limit you on how small you can roll the bag. I've had dry bags in the past that you carry from the sealing strap and I would rather have a dedicated handle to prevent wear and tear.The phone bag fits my Galaxy with an OtterBox perfectly and seals with 3 zip locks and 2 outer snaps. The screen and camera work great too while in the phone bag.Great Value and Quality, Thank You Kastking

This is my initial review of kastking 20L and 10L dry bags.I compared this to piscifun 10l dry bag. So the kastking bags are excellent quality and worth the price for sure. The 20L has way more room than the 10l so if you want to pack light maybe like snack,phone,sunscreen,towel,water and other small items the 10L will be awesome. The 20L will fit multiple towels and water's, clothes ect 20L is awesome.The phone waterproof case is top quality with triple zip lock and fits my Samsung galaxy note 9 with otterbox case. Now I compared the kastking 10L and pisicfun 10L drybags. First of quality on the kastking is much better hands down and also the quality of the waterproof phone cases the kastking again is much better.........And price is very similar. The only positive of the pisicfun is the front pocket mesh with elastic tie down. But when it comes to sealed bag the kastking has that inside plastics cyclone seal it's awesome. So my choice is kastking. I have some pictures for comparison. I will update my review as I use the kastking more.

Being a water lover, I frequently find myself in situations where I have a bunch of random gear that needs to be kept dry. The 20L size is more than adequate for my needs, and holds more than I expected. If you only plan to take a few items, I suggest the 10L size may be a better option. It is well constructed, with an extra cuff around the collar to reduce the likelihood of water ingress. The zippered side pocket is a nice feature and I particularly appreciated the separate phone holder which is transparent for ease of viewing without having to open the bag. The shoulder strap is useful but perhaps could be a little more padded. Fully loaded you might notice this rubs a little. It was nice to have color options - chose the sky blue for ease of recognition as everyone seems to have black. All in all I'm very happy , particularly at this price point which makes it great value for money.

Very well made dry bag. Just what I was looking for.

I regularly fish 30+ miles off the Atlantic coast and a ditch bag is a vital part of my safety equipment. I had the older version of KastKing’s dry bag with the clear window and it lasted through a year of getting tossed around, stepped on, and abused. This bag is built even better. Out with the old, in with the new! For my purposes ( offshore ditch bag) there is very little i would change about this bag. Below are my observations.Pros:Bright colors - incredibly important for ditch-bag purposes.Reinforced carry handle on side (this is an upgrade).Back-pack straps to allow for hands free carrying when loading the boat.Super durable and absolutely water tight.Cons:Only one I can find for me is the small zipper, it is of no use for me, as I couldn’t see myself putting anything in there.KastKing did ask me to review this bag as a result of my previous purchases. This by no means has influenced my review. I have purchased copious amounts of KastKing products from pliers to braided line and they have yet to fail me.

I bought the 10L for kayak fishing. The size is about right, I could maybe even have gone with the 5L as I don't bring a lot of extra tackle. It is not too big to get in the way of the paddle or rod. I put the strap over my shoulder and wear it sort of like a backpackThe main bag material is made from strong rubber material like an inflatable kayak. Pretty tough and reinforced. It should hold up to abrasions.I wanted something to keep my keys dry. All the seals on the main bag are heat-welded so are not going to let water in. The extra side bag is perfect for my fishing license (which is waterproof anyway) and keys. It has a triple closure seal and extra buoyancy that should keep it floating in case I drop it. But it also comes with a cord so that should not be a problem anyway. It is not as good a material but should be tough enough.It does not have a zipper to close the main bag. Instead the top is sealed by closing it in a loop. Hard to describe but no water is going to splash in and probably would keep water out even if you submerged it (I haven't tried).Overall a quality bag. Attractive too. Not a piece of cheap junk. I'm happy with it and may try the 5L.

Normally I would use a 10l dry bag for myself to bring a spare set of clothes when I go fishing. I needed a larger bag for when my wife and I head to the beach and decided on the 30l bag this time. It really is a nice bag and packed correctly it holds two towels and two sets of clothes. The shoulder straps are nicely done although it will more likely be used in our beach cart and the very handy side handle will get more use. The extra phone case is a nice added bonus and holds both our phones.Extremely happy with this dry bag, good quality and excellent value for the money.This is my third Kastking product and so far I cannot find a fault with any of them.

I just received this bag, here are my first impressions. The good: The material and seams appear solid the clips and attachment points seem really strong. The bag is near air tight when I squeeze it. I won’t be able to test for water tightness until more snow goes away here in Colorado. I’ll use this as a boat bag for day long kayak trips. 30 L is really big! I’ll be comfortable if my partner uses this on her paddle board. The side pouch is likely not water proof but pretty splash proof . it will be good for keys wallet size stuff. I like the dual shoulder straps. The handle is also solid. The less than good: the clips and swivels On the shoulder straps are plastic; I bet one breaks some day. The bag won’t stand on its bottom while empty; it is still a soft side bag Conclusion: at a $20-25 price point this is a great value. The shoulder straps may not make it; but this is a boat bag, not a back pack I’ll be able to adapt. I’ll try to update this after I get the bag out on the water.

This dry bag is awesome! First of all, I've never see one with a front zipper pouch, which is a huge plus to easily grab a phone while out paddling instead of having to dig through the whole bag. I ordered the 20L size in the blush color - it's huge! It also came with a great waterproof phone case too as an added bonus. I love the combo of handles and the strap so you can wear it or stow it in under gear straps. I plan to keep my bag in my rear kayak storage area that can get wet, even with scupper plugs in, so this will be so handy. I also plan to use it while out boating and fishing too. This bag is stylish, versatile and most of all functional all at a great price. Highly recommend!
