VAUDE Drybag Light 20L is a waterproof roll-top drybag made of polyamide with polyurethane (PU) and silicone coatings. With a 20-litre capacity and compact footprint (240 x 240 x 660 mm), this pack sack protects clothing and equipment from water and moisture during kayaking, boating, hiking and travel. The main fabric is made from 100% recycled polyamide and features an Eco Finish that provides water and stain resistance without the use of environmentally harmful fluorocarbons (PFC). Taped seams and a reliable roll closure maintain a waterproof interior while keeping the bag extremely lightweight and packable.
Advantages
The Drybag Light combines low weight with robust build quality: taped seams and a waterproof roll-top closure prevent water ingress while the silicone-treated outer layer and PU coating increase durability and abrasion resistance. The Eco Finish helps rain and dirt bead off the fabric, and the use of recycled polyamide reduces material impact. Compact dimensions make the bag easy to stow in backpacks, kayaks or luggage, and the 20-litre capacity is sufficient for a change of clothes, cooking kit or essential equipment that must remain dry.
Suitable for
- Kayaking, canoeing and other paddle sports
- Boating and sailing

How to use
Pack items to be kept dry—for example a sleeping bag, spare clothing, electronics or food—into the drybag. Remove excess air, align the roll-top opening and roll it down at least three times, then fasten the buckle to create a watertight closure. For full waterproof performance ensure the roll is tight and the taped seams are intact. Stow the drybag in your kayak, boat, rucksack or luggage as required.
Usage recommendations
Regular aftercare of the Eco Finish is necessary to maintain water and dirt repellency. Clean the outer fabric following manufacturer guidance and reapply a PFC-free waterproofing treatment if water no longer beads on the surface. Avoid prolonged abrasion against rough surfaces to preserve the silicone and PU coatings. Inspect seams and closure before each trip to ensure continued waterproof performance.
