Waterproof Bags for Kayaking

Every kayaker needs a dry bag they can count on. Whether you're packing your compulsory gear for the Coast to Coast, stashing an extra layer for a cold-weather run, or stowing lunch for a day trip, keeping your stuff dry is non-negotiable. But not all dry bags are up to the job. We see too many paddlers reach for ultralight dry bags designed for hiking — great inside a backpack, but not tough enough to handle the abrasion, grit, and movement that comes with a day out boating.

In a kayak, your dry bag gets dragged, shoved, scraped, and pressed against sand, stones, and seat bolts. That kind of wear can rub holes fast, especially in thin fabrics. And when your dry bag fails, so does your day — with soaked emergency gear, a ruined lunch, or worse, a Coast to Coast safety check you can’t pass.

That’s why we carry waterproof bags for kayaking that are made to last. Our range includes sizes from 5L to 125L, all with reliable roll-top closures. The Palm Classic 20L is a best-seller for a reason. It fits all your race-day essentials and handles serious use without falling apart. For bigger loads, or when you want backpack straps for long-distance travel, the Palm River Trek Bag has you covered.

All of our kayak dry bags are race-ready and river-tested. Choose the right size, pack with care, and roll it down tight. Then paddle on, knowing your gear’s dry no matter what happens.
