Walmart carries some in the outdoor section. Think they have some down to 10L and up to 40L.

I bought three usgi WP bags probably 12 years ago. Damn things are brittle now, they were in a spare bedroom that didn’t get AC.
 Granted they weren’t expensive but cannot trust them for the purpose. I even bought a backpack with water proof liner bag that was surplus navy stuff. Bag is kind of an ill fitting thing though. Figured I’d use it cannot camping for sleeping gear or clothes. |

I just use zip lock. The original style, not the sliders.

I have and can recommend these bags.
https://www.amazon.com/Piscifun-Waterproof-Backpack-Floating-Sports/dp/B07JY8LQ66 They have multiple sizes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Google 'dry bag' Pick as you budget allows This. A decent rolltop drybag will work as a floatation device. I have some high-end Sea to Summit bags and some Amazon (China?) versions, both have worked just fine. Do make sure you figure out the size and it depends on how you want to pack. I don't like a ton of separate organizational bags, but I do use one good size one (maybe 30 liters?) for sleeping bag and extra clothes. I keep my food in a separate dry bag in case I need to hang it, and anything small that needs to be accessed is usually in an appropriate size freezer Ziploc. Not all bags have drain holes, so just be aware if you try to "test" the buoyancy of your waterproof lined pack. ROCK6 |

I have a number of the sea to summit bags.
They’re pricier but I think if it’s worth waterproofing my gear, it’s worth not taking chances. |

The product you seek is the Sea to Summit Big River dry bag.
There are other good options, but this is the best. |

I’ve never seen a Zip-loc bag that didn’t suck air in somehow. Put socks, TP, whatever in there, squeeze all air out and zip, not long after there’s air in it. When hiking I’ll use them with the opening down, but for possible/probable submergence no way. I’d go with a real, roll top dry bag, my favorites are the Sea To Summit eVent compression sacks but Granite Gear makes good ones, too. I just don’t like that the GG sacks don’t have a handle on the bottom to make pulling stuff out easier.

Snugpak also makes them in more drab colors if you need to be clandestine. Most of the ones Ive found that arent black are bright colors.
For one time use Waterproof-ness I vacuum seal stuff. |

I just got a new 20 degree synthetic mummy bag and it will fit in a 20L. A 30 would give room to spare. A cheap rectangle bag required a 40l compression sack. I did squeeze a medium thermarest pillow in with it. A poncho liner is just a little too big for a 5l. |
