Mountain Equipment Wet & Dry Bags

Originally published 2012

From the archive: originally posted on ProCamping in 2012. Mountain Equipment's kit bag range has moved on since, so check their current line-up for what's available today.

Mountain Equipment Wet & Dry Bags are great all-round kit bags. They're available in four size options: 40 litres, 70 litres, 100 litres and 140 litres.

They're made from a strong tarpaulin waterproof fabric augmented with a strong 1000 denier nylon base. The 100 and 140 litre bags come with a fully adjustable shoulder harness, making the bag carriable as a rucksack. All the bags come with side handles and a long strap running end to end — so many carrying options.

These bags are named Wet & Dry Bags because although the complete bag is a dry bag, they have an internal divider which effectively gives you two dry bags — perfect for when you finish a day's surfing or kayaking, as you can put your wet kit in one section while anything that needs to stay dry stays in the other half.

If you don't fancy carrying your kit on your back, or know you don't have far to go, Mountain Equipment also offer similar 70 litre and 100 litre roll bags, which have wheels for easy movement over smooth surfaces.
