Benefits & Use Cases
Designed for the modern outdoorsperson, the Pelican Marine Series Dry Bag integrates practicality and performance into one compact package. Its IP68 waterproof rating means it can handle submersion in shallow waters without risk of ingress—ideal for river crossings, paddleboarding, jet skiing, or sudden splashes during hikes. The press-seal mechanism works best when users compress their contents before rolling the top twice and locking it shut, ensuring maximum protection every time.
The integrated phone pouch isn’t just a convenience—it’s a game-changer for those who rely on navigation apps, emergency contacts, or capturing memories without exposing their devices. You can check messages, take photos, or adjust GPS routes through the transparent case, all while keeping your phone fully protected from moisture and impact. This feature alone makes the bag indispensable for travelers, campers, anglers, and water sports enthusiasts.
Its lightweight yet rugged construction ensures comfort during extended wear, whether you’re navigating rocky streams or walking along the shoreline. The Hunter Camo finish blends seamlessly into natural settings, making it a subtle choice for hunting trips or wildlife observation without sacrificing functionality. Multiple carry options—backpack, shoulder, or hand-held—give users flexibility depending on terrain and duration of activity.
From day trips to multi-day expeditions, this dry bag scales with your adventure. Attach it to your canoe deck, clip it to your backpack, or sling it over your shoulder while exploring remote trails. The included keychain lanyard adds extra utility, letting you secure valuables directly to your vessel or gear without fear of loss.
Important Notes
To maintain waterproof integrity, always follow the recommended closing procedure: load your items, push down to expel excess air, fold the roll-top closure tightly two times, then secure the buckle firmly. Never force the bag open—this could damage the seal. Inspect the roll-top and buckle before each use to ensure there’s no debris or stretching that might compromise the seal. While the bag is rated for shallow submersion (IP68), prolonged exposure to deep water or high-pressure environments may affect long-term performance. Always rinse and air-dry after saltwater or muddy use to preserve material longevity.
The package includes one 5-liter Pelican Marine Dry Bag in Hunter Camo, one detachable keychain lanyard, and qualifies for a 1-year warranty from Pelican. Please note that accessories such as phones, cameras, or other electronics are not included.
