Fatcatsplat Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 With swimming pools closed i find i'm going swimming in the sea an awful lot more and unless someone in the party votes to stay ashore or we swim in relays, we have nowhere to safely store our gear, so I'm after a small to medium dry bag that i can take swimming with me - Something i can stick phone keys and wallet in - I've got a dry wallet, but it doesn't quite hold enough. I've got a few old canoeing dry bags, but wondered whether anybody was able to recommend a 2 to 10 litre dry bag that can take maybe an hour of being in the water and not just a bit of splashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I bought a load of these in a sale from 10 to 25ltr for packing camping bedding pillows, cloths etc. They feel really tuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Try Limo? (Lomo, auto correct) I rate a lot of their gear, apart from the safety knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have an Oakley dry bag with straps so it can be used as a rucksack. brilliant bit of kit. for valuables I tend to put them inside a sea safe type screw lid pot. I can’t recall the exact name but can dig it out if you want. I used to have a cheap phone and towel I left on shore in a crappy bag lined with a garden rubble sack. Usually by a pile of rocks or the sea wall. was always there when I came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, we used to put rocks in with the 'contents' so if we got boarded by customs one slash with a sharp knife sent the evidence to the sea bed.
