MARCHWAY Floating Waterproof Dry Bag Review

- Overall, the Marchway Dry Bag is well built and has performed well in the rain. Not sure how it would do if it was actually IN THE WATER, rather than simply repelling it, but for under $16 for a drybag, I think it is hard to beat for rain protection for your clothing.

The Cabelas store brand (Ascent?) has served me well. A very thick rubberized material that isn't too expensive. I want to say that I got my 55 liter for $35
I've been looking at a couple 10 litres for the tops of my saddle bags. The only one I have now is a 70 litre from Cycle Gear that works well. Probably made across the street from Marchway in Shang Gin province.
I just got the 10 L last week... Haven't tried it yet.... Got a similar material water bladder and it has been good so far....also have a similar yellow one for washing clothes..
I use trash compactor bags to line my pack when I’m hiking. Cheap and light but for the bike I think I will invest in a quality dry bag for my sleep system.
I got a Marchway bag to use as an “overflow gear” bag when touring and I’ve used it for a couple years strapped to the outside of my bike. Still in great shape!
I've had two for a few years. I do not use the straps/clips that is usually where the rips start due to creating a shear point in the seams. I use them for emergency dry bags and temporary coolers. When dry they roll up from the bottom and take up very little space. As for a cooler- they are NOT a yeti or any type of insulated cooler. But you put in some ice they will keep your food and drinks cold till you get to camp even in the Texas summer. And when your done, roll up and store till the next time.
Good to know I can count on them for at least a couple years!
I checked mine and all 3 have a hard plastic lip at the top. (Deep Blue) As you mentioned, perhaps the nylon/cloth lining seal is slightly leakable. Perhaps another roll when closing might help. Good "opening" video. Love your PC disclaimers. Always get a chuckle.
Advise on good phone/handlebar holder. Might have already done a video, just couldn't find one.
I am sure it will work to keep the rain out as long as I point the opening down. I will do a review of my phone holder - certainly not the best, but I will talk about the flaws.
Dude, do you ever take a day off? Happy presidents day.
I have a large collection of dry bags. I have a huge roll top pack that is intended for two people's gear when canoe camping, that is large enough to hold a small adult, and I use it to store my big dry bag collection. I bought several of the indestructible SeaLine bags, 35+ years ago and I've been collecting ever since for no good reason. It's become an obsession to an even larger extent than camp stoves... but not quite as much as guns!
Lately, I've been buying inexpensive Chinese bags from Amazon. No Marchway, but just about every other brand - PacEarth, Wild Heart, etc. I greatly prefer bags with tie down D rings on the bottom so I can attach the bag to the rear rack on the motorcycle and open the bag without loosening a strap over the top of the bag. The Wild Heart duffel bag has that feature because it's a ripoff of the Wolfman motorcycle duffel bag that was out of stock (Amazon and the Wolfman site) when I needed to make the purchase. I have a smaller 20L bag with a roll closure on the end that I use for day trips. I traded the version that needed the strap over the top for a Givi bag that's twice the price but very well made, to get the D rings on the bottom for quick and secure mounting in a bag that I can open and close without messing with the attachment straps. It's also great not having the strap over top of the bag because as the waterproof bag slowly leaks air, the straps over top of the bag will loosen, but that's not a problem when the bottom of the bag is attached to the rack.
I use the heavy duty waterproof bags on the outside, facing the elements and abrasion, and inside I use the ultralight waterproof bags that are no heavier than nylon stuff sacks, to organize the contents of the big bag. It's useful to have waterproof bags so my clean clothes don't smell like my dirty clothes, and so my food is in an odor proof bag that I can haul up into a tree as a bear bag. Lately, I'm liking the Wise Owl brand of ultralight waterproof bags which are well made and reasonably priced.
I had no idea dry bags were collectible? :)
