Earth Pak Waterproof Dry Bag Reviews Summary

Waterproofing and Material Quality

Pros:

• "Keeps all my gear perfectly dry throughout my adventures."
• "The material appears to be very rugged and tough."
• "It's very well made - material is strong so I know my things will stay dry."
• "The bag feels sturdy, yet also easy to open and close."
• "Considering how often it gets drug across sandy concrete, the durability of this thing is very impressive."
• "The material isn't as tough as some other dry bags I've seen which makes it a lot easier to fold and clip."
• "The bag is well made and incredibly durable."

Cons:

• "This has leaks in the top seem and got our towels wet."
• "You can imagine my horror when I opened the bag mid adventure to find it full of water from a brief encounter with water during my adventure."
• "Upon retrieving, and opening the bag, I found a good amount of water had collected in the bottom of the bag."
• "Opened bag to discover water inside. Water leak occurred on the bottom where the black material is glued to the colored material."
• "After a week of use on the trail, we got a small rainstorm that lasted about 2 hours and everything inside was soaked with a layer of water on the bottom."
• "Where the bag and bottom meets, the sewing or stitching has become frayed all around."
• "we noticed after a few uses that where the bag is 'glued' the material had started to fray."

Design and Functionality

Pros:

• "The design is helpful to clip carabiners onto for things like water bottles, sunscreen, etc."
• "Its ability to be clipped, zip tied, or gear tied to my bike was excellent."
• "The roll-top design ensures a tight seal."
• "Like many similar products it features buckles at the top of the bag so you can roll the top over itself and clip the ends together to form a water tight seal."
• "The straps are helpful for carrying and clipping."
• "The clip is pretty heavy duty as well, so I can hang it off my dog blind."
• "The size we bought fit several towels, water, and lunch for 4 people."

Cons:

• "The phone water proof bag’s plastic CLIP came off when I opened it up."
• "The buckles were incompatible. There is a piece of plastic inside the male end that prevents it from clipping into the female end."
• "The bag is waterproof, which is not hard to make, but the clip is low quality and it simply broke after 3rd use and became permanently locked."
• "The shoulder strap that comes with it seems thin and the plastic clips appear to be weaker than any other pieces that come with this bag."
• "Also the clip seems rather fragile for such a bag."
• "The phone case is a little problematic because of the clips that keep the case watertight fall off."
• "Three hrs into my excursion the belt buckled lock on me."

Value and Customer Service

Pros:

• "Great value for money."
• "These bags are worth the money."
• "I absolutely love this Earth-Pak dry bag to take on my SUP adventures."
• "I purchased two of these and used them on a recent trip to Mexico. Well thought out, great price point, and a quality product! I highly recommend."

• "Their response was super fast and very helpful and detailed!"
• "I am very happy with my Earth Pak Dry Bag!"

Cons:

• "However, I am very disappointed with the 'warranty'. Although this bag claims to come with a warranty, if you buy it from Amazon or from any other 3rd party store, the company will not honor it."
• "Even worse the company says you have to go through Amazon for any issues and they don't honor the guarantee unless directly purchased through them."
• "The product works as intended but it's shady business practice to add 5 year warranty cards into the product packaging that's being sold thru third party businesses, then not honoring them because the product was bought from a third party."
• "STILL NO RESPONSE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE. BAG IS OK, BUT ZERO RESPONSE FROM CS DOESN'T FEEL GOOD."
• "I was frustrated that when I tried to return this dry bag, I ended up having to pay $5 for shipping."
• "I was so disappointed. Even more so when I got back from my trip and realized that I missed the return window by one day."
• "Very disappointed, almost ruined the whole trip. I would not recommend."
