Lateral Dry Bag/

Dry bags have come a long way in the past few years. The latest generation are no longer as thick as they used to be which allows them to be lighter. These new dry bags retain their strength though and many even carry cool new features making them even easier to use.

The Outdoor Research 45 Liter Lateral Bag is one of these technically advanced dry bags. Made from rugged tear and abrasion resistant nylon, this bag can be dropped, slid, and scooted on the toughest surfaces. The seams are welded for high waterproofing and a roll-top closure along the top of the bag keeps contents dry. Two buckles secure the roll top to ensure items stay secure. There are two compression straps as well with a daisy chain to attach other gear or lash this bag to other bags using a rope or biners. A window allows the user to see contents so there is no need to open the bag if the item you are looking for isn’t there.
