Hey fellow water enthusiasts! I just came back from a kayaking trip down the Baja coast and finally got to test my new SeaLine Baja Dry Bag. I figured I’d splash into the forum here with a little review—and hopefully hear your thoughts, too!

So, let’s dive in! I used the 30L version, which was more than enough space for my essentials: sandwiches, camera, extra layers, and, of course, a rubber duck (because who kayaks without a duck?).

Performance: This bag took a dunking like a champ! After flipping my kayak—totally on purpose to test the bag, you know 👀—everything inside stayed bone-dry. The waterproof material feels robust, and the collar system is easy to seal. I’ve had other dry bags before, but this one seems more reliable and squid-proof. (Squid-proof is totally a thing, right?)

• Durability: Seriously tough. I dragged it over rocks, and it didn’t even flinch. It’s made from PVC-free fabric, so I’m guessing it’s a hit with the fish, too. Less plastic in the sea!
• Usability: The roll-closure can be a bit fiddly if you overfill it. Make sure not to pack your inflatable lobster or else you might be wrestling with an angry octopus onshore!
• Comfort: Slung it over my shoulder easily, though I wouldn’t want to trek miles with it. Then again, if the view involves less water and more mountains, you might want a backpack instead.

“It’s like the Swiss Army knife of dry bags, minus the tools and cheese, but with all the security.”

Having used it for a week now, I’m pretty set on it. But I’d love to hear your experiences, too! Especially if you’ve tackled different sizes or exposed it to more intense conditions. Did you find it as ~aquatically invincible~ as I did? Share your fish tales, tips, or let me know if there’s a better dry bag piscine-ing out there!
