Waterproof Dry Bags by Rockagator | 100% Water Proof Dry Bag with Detachable Shoulder Strap | Can Be Submersed in Water and Will Keep Your Gear Dry on the River, Lake, Raft, Kayak (10L, 20L, 30L, 50L)

I cannot believe I am the first one to review this Rockagator 30L waterproof bag and more haven't been purchased. This bag is made in China and I have to admit, I am pretty critical of stuff they make but in this case they have done a good job with exception of just a few personal flaws related to what I am looking for.The Bag- As stated earlier right out of the box it was easy to see this is a solid construction, thick waterproof bag that I would put up against any other 30L bag listed on Amazon and at 24.99 it is a great value. I love the solid black color with green lettering that is clean, simple and looks like it means business. It drives me nutts to walk around with something that looks like a billboard or some of these named bags with .com address's plastered on them. I put this bag over my head and stared directly into a fluorescent light and there was zero light shining in from anywhere around the bag. This is a large solid bag and there is no doubt in my mind it would keep things dry and if properly packed it would float as well, one last thing if it is that important to stay dry, stick it in a zip lock bag inside of this bag as extra protection. I love the fact this bag can be rolled down to the actual size of the load you have in it. In short it could be a 30L or rolled down to a 20L if need be and always get's a solid seal. Some of these bags with dual shoulder straps can only be rolled down to a certain point based on attachment points, no matter what the load is inside.Hardware- This bag comes with one adjustable strap with nylon hooks on each end and really nothing special here. The strap in my opinion is not wide enough for a 30L bag fully packed, but it appears to be a common strap comparable to most single strap bags. Now here is a flaw that I am struggling with at the moment that may not be a big deal to others. This bag only has one connection ring at the top on the handle and it is on the left side. The anchor point on the bottom of the bag is also on the left side making this in retrospect a left handed bag, as it only hangs comfortably to me over the left shoulder and I don't like to sling the bag from my right shoulder blade down to left butt cheek. Hopefully that made sense and as I said it may not matter to most. I like to hang my waterproof bag off my right shoulder as it just rides better for me and sling over the back down from left shoulder blade to right butt cheek, this back will not ride that way and opens up in the center or your back in an awkward position. At the moment I am using a D-Ring on the right side at the top as an attachment point to try and see if I can make it work but the bottom attachment point on the left side is still not letting the bag ride right, trust me it is a big deal when you load a 30L bag with weight.So in closing this is a solid bag that I like and in fact I am struggling right now on whether to keep it or not as I play with it to try and make the carrying configuration work for me using D-rings as I like it that much. If you are looking for a slick 30L waterproof bag that can be flung over your back and that is ready to get on the water, then this is a great affordable option I fully recommend. In my opinion if this bag had two rings at the top and two attachment ring points at the bottom, one on each side of the seam allowing you to choose which side you wanted to hook up the strap, then it would be the perfect bag.*** Update***After struggling to make up my mind I also ordered the VOLI 20L drybag ( I will review on that page) as a comparison to this Rockagator and I quickly realized the size of this 30L and the tough material is what I need. I am going to actually keep both bags and this bag is going to be used mainly for dry clothes, changing robes, sanuks, med kit etc.... as I still believe this bag fully loaded with heavy stuff (Beer/Ice) would be tough on the shoulder with this strap system but I must say after taking a black sharpie pen and coloring over the "A" , Rock Gator just flows better to me.

I used this bag with a separate insurance liner as well (Sea to Summit ultralight 20L bag). Put my camera and electronics inside while on a multi-day kayak/camping trip to the Tetons. All is well - all electronics still work :) Also, before leaving I filled this entire bag with water and let sit for 2 days - no leaks!

The 50L bag has a circumference of about 36 inches. Typical 45-50L bags have a circumference of about 40 inches. My equipment would not fit through the opening so I had to return the item. Deducted 2 stars because listing fails to give the dimension of the opening of the bag.

There is no way to seal the top, so when it rains you get a bucket of water!

Great dry bag, high quality material, however there is no valve to easily deflate so that you can compress all the air out of it like other bags have. That is my only complaint though other than that I love it!

I love this bag so much oh my gosh. I use it when I go fishing on my dad's boat. It looks awesome and it works as intended.

This thing was worth every penny on my camping/backpacking trip in the Boundary Waters area! Kept everything nice and dry. I have one suggestion. Many times I was wishing it had two straps so I could almost wear it as a back pack. I was slinging it over one shoulder or the other but it was always quite heavy! Still not a huge issue and a product I would highly recommend for anyone looking at dry bags.
