Purchase This Immediately
This bag is truly a marvel for the price. I have included many photos next to a tennis ball for a size reference. I purchased the 10 Liter blue bag to use as a food bag and a bear bag while backpacking. It holds more than enough food for a week, is lightweight, waterproof, sturdy, smell-proof, and absolutely gorgeous to look at. I have not had any issues with critters or water while using this to store my food. Surface also seems to repel sand, dirt, and mud. It also has a few spots included in the design that you could attach a buckle or strap if you wish. Speaking of, it includes a 3 foot adjustable strap that is also very sturdy and extremely convenient. No part of this product seems loose or cheaply made. I did not have high expectations of this product based on the price, but it absolutely blew me away. Highly Recommended.

I used this as a bear bag while backpacking in ...
I used this as a bear bag while backpacking in the grand canyon. Although bears were not an issue, other animals such as raccoons, squirrels and chipmunks were. My friend and I witnessed squirrels sliding down paracords to get into plastic bags and raccoons chewing through tents of other campers in the area. This bag (10L) held 4 days worth of food for 2 people and we had no issues.

Good value, 10L worked good for me for 4 days of food & PCT style hanging
Used a 10L one of these on a backpacking trip on the NCT in Michigan in May. Anything that smelled (except me) went in here and I hung it PCT style at night. Its thick, and weighs in @ 8 oz.., 8.5 oz for me with a beaner for the PCT hang.I lined it with these odor barrier bags to help avoid attracting critters. I left it packed on my deck for a few days before going on the trip... no critters bothered with it.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GHH5GK4/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_5I can stuff the whole thing in my pack and get 5 - 6 days of food in it (I pack light food only), the stove and a few extras.

Will Buy Again...
I will have to buy again; I took it to Havasupai where the clever squirrels will get into everything. I had offloaded my food from my pack in which I had carried it in this 10L dry sack into 5-gallon buckets which are everywhere down there for this purpose. The dry sack was suspended, empty, from a tree using paracord. The paracord, left by a previous camper, snapped, the sack ended up on the ground and chewed by squirrels. Until then it was perfect for its purpose. I purchased the 10L and would have found uses in my backpacking and camping endeavors, had it not been destroyed. You don't have to work hard to get air into it. It's easy to open and close. The fastenings are sturdy. There were four of us on my trip, two of us carrying food, each with one of these dry sacks. Although mine didn't survive the second one did and it will get used again. I will definitely purchase again. Just know it's not squirrel-proof.

Very stiff for the small size
The material these bags are made of is very sturdy. Unfortunately I purchased the smallest size. Because the material is so sturdy, its very difficult to roll down the edge enough to make it water tight. You roll down the edge and when you close it with the belt snap the material is just too thick for this small size to prevent air from leaving or water from coming in. I think the sturdiness of the material would work perfectly with larger sizes but does not work for the smallest size. This small size was purchased for my husband to put his keys and wallet into and thats about all the room there is for the 2 liter size. If I purchased again I would get the next size up for sure.

Waste
Bought this bag for a river tubing trip. The bag had our phones, towels and a speaker inside, so nothing sharp or anything. The bag leaked about 10 minutes into the trip and soaked everything. The speaker got soaked and broke. Luckily the phones are waterproof and were fine.I've used plenty of dry bags before and this is this first one to leak like that. Complete waste of money!

Not waterproof
This bag is not waterproof. The black webbing at the top folds over the top and into the inside of the bag allowing moisture in when the webbing gets wet. I put in a paper towel, folded the bag over 4 times (it says at least 3), and let it sit in a pan of water for 5 minutes and the paper towel was soaked through. The bag floated but the top was in water and seeped in the folds. A day later the webbing is still damp feeling so it doesn't dry out quick either. The material is a little thick and the buckle seems sturdy but I'm returning this since it does not stay dry.

Great Dry Sack. Bear Bag?: Not So Much
We used this as a "tree bag" to keep our foodstuff between two trees to keep it away from animals at night while through hiking. We woke up night two with a Grizzly on its hind legs trying to reach it. It was out of his reach but clearly it isn't "scent proof". If a bear got ahold of it it DEFINITELY wouldn't be bear proof. Bear "bags" these days are made of hard dense plastic and are very resilient (and also very expensive). It definitely worked for us but we very easily could've gotten into a tussle with a Grizzly over our food.
