Does the inside of your pack look like an episode from Hoarders? Mmm hmm... Shameful.
But don't fret. We're here to get you back on the path to organizational enlightenment with our Roll Top Dry Bag Kit.
Made from Dyneema Composite Fabric, these durable, ultralight bags allow you to organize and neatly store things like clothes or anything else that would otherwise be loose in your backpack or travel bag.
The roll top closure allows you to compress the items inside for maximum space savings. We've even included seam tape to make your bag virtually waterproof when fully closed.
This DIY kit comes with everything you'll need to make one finished Roll Top Dry Bag (*except thread). We even laser cut your Dyneema fabric blank to exact size so you can open the box, trim, and start sewing right away.
Here's what you'll get:
Material:
- 1.0 oz Dyneema Composite Fabric
- 2.92 oz Dyneema Composite Fabric
Components:
(1') 1/2" Polypropylene Webbing - Black
(1) UL Side Release Buckle

Only 11k views, this hasn't been getting the love it deserves. Great vid, thank you

Thanks for watching and for your kind words!

I love how regular men think sewing is too girly, but outdoorsy men think sewing is the perfect way to get useful gear for rugged trips into the wild.

[@RipstopbytheRoll]

All humans should sew! It's a great skill to know whether you're making curtains, backpacks, apparel, or anything else. Besides... it's fun!

What would make a useful video is a step by step on how to make a dry bag of a particular size. Calculating the sizes, how to 'box' off the bottom. I've figured this out... but I've also made this kit and a few bags. I'm making dry bags out of silnylon (thanks Ripstop) that a plastic basket 15"w x11.5" w x 11" high will fit into. I want to store my clothes on my boat without them smelling like the boat or getting damp/mildew in foggy wet conditions (I've been on the north Pacific where one day everything was just streaming water and all my clothes got mildewy.) To me there are two basic kinds of dry bags. Rough usage, no protection, like my Sea and Summit dry bag backpack, and those that have some protection, like this dyneema one, and those for my boat cabinet. Dry bags are also useful in the kitchen. I buy sealed bags of oatmeal, and boxes of pancake mix and the moths would find their way inside. A $40 silicone dry bag completely solved the problem. (But probably a bit over kill.) And I bought white silnylon and happy I could find it. Lighter colors you can see inside of.

Those are super cool applications! We love to hear about the neat ways people are using our fabrics. Our friend over at LearnMYOG has a Roll Top Dry Bag pattern calculator. See that here: learnmyog.com/rolltopsack.html

Thank you. That's a terrific resource.

I can't seem to find on the website or your video what type of thread to use! Are you able to tell me what thread to use?

[@RipstopbytheRoll]

@@sheighcox2932 Thanks for watching! This is the thread that we have in that machine right now. We use this thread for the great majority of our projects. ripstopbytheroll.com/products/gutermann-mara-70?variant=1072513937

I have made about 3-4 of these that I use for my kayak expeditions. I have one more kit that I haven't open yet, I'll try to make a video of my process.

[@RipstopbytheRoll]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching.

Dude, can you share your workout routine as well? 😄 Cheers!

[@RipstopbytheRoll]

You just need to bench rolls of Cordura and squat rolls of Stove Jack! Thanks for watching.
