DRYBAG

The size of your drybag depends on what you want to use it for and what items you want to transport with it. We have tested the 5 litres, 10 litres, 20 litres, 30 litres and 40 litres drybags by RESTUBE for you and can make the following recommendations based on our experience: The 5 litres drybag is suitable for your ID card, small valuables, a bunch of keys and your smartphone. You can store a lot more in the 10 litres drybag, for example your wallet, sunglasses, a small towel and your water bottle. In the medium drybag by RESTUBE, which holds 20 litres, you can store a change of clothes, towels, a camera and book, toiletries and sun cream. The 30 litres drybag offers even more space for your gear. You can pack clothes, shoes, towels, some food and drink and a first-aid-kit in it. The largest drybag by RESTUBE holds 40 litres and is ideal if you want to bring multiple things or are planning a longer trip. For example, it can hold clothes and shoes for several days, as well as a towel, food and drink or even some basic camping equipment.

Drybags primarily offer protection against splashing water and rain and can usually withstand short-term immersion in water. However, they do not fulfil any standard that confirms 100% waterproofness. We therefore advise against storing sensitive items “only” in a drybag. For guaranteed protection, it is best to use one of the IPX8-certified cases from Restube or FIDLOCK. The IPX8 standard belongs to the IP protection classes (Ingress Protection), which specify the degree of protection of electronic devices and housings against the ingress of water and dust.

They’re highly protective against rain, splashes, and even short dips in the water – but no dry bag can promise complete waterproofing. For sensitive tech, RESTUBE recommends pairing with an IPX8-certified case. Used correctly and without overpacking, your gear will stay dry in everyday conditions, though long-term or deep submersion isn’t guaranteed. In practice: trust it on the water, but don’t take it scuba diving.

The best drybag is the one that meets your requirements! Think about what you want to use the drybag for and what items you want to put in it. At RESTUBE you can choose between 5 different sizes. The smallest drybag holds 5 litres. It is ideal for your ID card, smartphone, small valuables and a bunch of keys. The 10 litres drybag is suitable for energy bars, wallet, sunglasses, small towel and your water bottle. The medium size has 20 litres of space for your items. Clothes, towels, shoes, camera, toiletries and sun cream can be safely stowed in this drybag. With the 30 litres drybag you can bring even more equipment, e.g. foods & drinks or a first-aid-kit. The largest drybag by RESTUBE has 40 litres of space. In this one you can easily pack clothes & shoes for several days or even bring camping equipment with you.

Take the buoy out of the bag. With the mouth valve closed and the cartridge screwed in, rinse the Restube buoy and bag with clear water (particularly important if previously used in salt or chlorinated water). If heavily soiled, you can clean with a mild detergent or weak lye and rinse with clear water. Do not use detergents containing alcohol or solvents!

Dry the buoyancy chamber and bag hanging. Then repack the system according to the instructions. Do not place the Restube on a radiator and do not dry or store it in direct sunlight.
