Full Review: The Wilderness Technology PVC DrySac is a great drybag for a day-access river bag. I found that using this bag to keep a synthetic layer, sunscreen, snacks and any other extra things that I wanted to stay accessible while rafting or kayaking was great! It is great to be able to see through the walls to check in on what I threw in there. The durability seems to be on point with other clear PVC bags that I've used.
The Good List: The plastic is durable. Comparable to similar style dry bags, the plastic welding seems pretty bomber. The fact that it is somewhat clear is also pretty nice!
The Not so Good List: A point of hesitation that I have is the durability of the buckle. The female side of the buckle is redesigned with less plastic, but for the adventure enthusiast that is hard on their gear it is a weak spot. The fabric lining along the lip of the bag doesnt make a seal quite as nice as I would prefer for a bag the might be fully submerged.
The Bottom Line: You cannot find a a drybag this nice at this price anywhere else. It is such a good deal that you're losing money NOT buying it.
