Has anyone used these (65 or 35L)? Looking for a waterproof storage solution that is easy to get into and fits well in my Trillium. These are clearly in the "buy once, cry once" category so I'm looking for feedback.

I like the low profile design, think the rectangular shape would fit well in the canoe, and like the diagonal zipper for access (always had roll top cylinder bags in my kayak and not a big fan). Rarely portage, just flat water to campsites and back.

Thanks!

I have used waterproof bags of similar design and feel that the waterproof bags in question will meet or exceed your requirements.

It doesn't look like an item that would be portage friendly. That shoulder strap will tear off a day or two in.

I like to purchase buy once, cry once gear also so the price is not of concern to me. With that, it would have to go in a pack. And in that case a regular sealline bag would suffice and leave enough money leftover for a bottle of Cognac.

Portaging ability is a very large condition of my camping purchases.
Just my two cents.

Tom,
Thanks for the thoughts and I agree completly that this wouldn't be a good fit for portaging. Currently, portaging isn't often for me with most trips on the same body of water.
I prefer the easier access of a submersable duffle rather than a roll top. I did notice this from Seal Line - thanks for the reminder.

Cheers,
Mark
