Have I made a mistake ? decathlon drybag

In this video I test the decathlon drybag stuffsack to see if it will serve me well on my upcoming adventure. I submerge it in water for ten minutes to see if the decathlon drybag is actually dry!

Add some velcro to the seam and it will keep it from getting bends when you are tightening them!

This is such a great idea!

In my country it is sold as a waterproof compression bag, which I think is what it is mostly made for, to compress clothing and put it inside a backpack or bag, due to the type of construction it does not look completely waterproof like other drybags that I have. I plan to buy it soon to put it inside my bicycle, thanks for the review! It's the only one I found on KZbin.

Hey, no problem. Good luck with your adventures 😃

And it's Lomo for me too! (But my wife is Scottish;-)

[@lightweightadv]

Yep, the lomo bag is such a good product

I don’t any of the (expensive or not) bags (not even my Kriega bags) will keep keep the contents completely dry if submerged in water for 10 minutes. I you drop your bike in a watercrossing and leave it lying down in the river for 10 minutes wet clothes will be the least of your problem…

[@lightweightadv]

Yep absolutely, if I drop my bike it's max in there for a few seconds, I decided to put it in for 10 mins to try to simulate it being in constant pouring rain (without rain cover) like we experienced on our Skye trip. I did actually say this in the recording but then cut it out in the edit 🤦‍♂️😂

i have the same Motea Bag (35ltr) and have the original "Drybag"-inlet. No Problems at all. But i use a different Drybag for my shelter-items outside of the Motea. And that is complete waterproof. Many thank`s for your Vid - is a very good test and advice. Cheers, Alfred

[@lightweightadv]

No problem Alfred, take care👍

[@tethealey2955]

I use Kriega luggage, pricey but fully waterproof and extremely tough. Malcolm.

[@lightweightadv]

Hey Malcolm, yes Kriega is great stuff from what I've seen and maybe that's the next set up 😏

[@iangriffiths9930]

Can’t beat lomo for function and price 👍

[@lightweightadv]

Agreed, they're such a good piece of kit, if they offered a different shape I would certainly have gone for them i reckon 👍
