What customers say
The Granite Gear eVent Sil DrySack consistently receives overwhelmingly positive customer sentiment, primarily celebrated for its exceptional waterproofing capabilities and remarkably lightweight design. Users frequently commend its reliability in keeping essential gear dry, even when subjected to harsh, wet conditions, which is a paramount concern for backpackers, campers, and various outdoor adventurers. A standout feature often highlighted is the integration of eVent fabric, which ingeniously allows air to escape during compression – making packing bulky items significantly easier – while simultaneously preventing any water ingress. This unique breathability is frequently cited as a game-changer, enhancing the user experience by simplifying pack organization and maximizing space efficiency without compromising on dryness.
Know before you buy
The eVent fabric on the bottom is air-permeable, which allows trapped air to escape when you roll the top closed. This lets you compress your gear significantly, saving valuable space inside your backpack.
The sack features a waterproof rolltop closure and taped seams designed to keep your gear dry in wet conditions. While it is highly water-resistant, it is not intended for submersion or prolonged underwater use.
The rolling stay acts as a stiffener at the opening, which makes it much easier to roll the top down securely. It creates a cleaner, more uniform seal compared to sacks without this reinforcement.
No, this dry sack is not machine washable. To clean it, we recommend wiping it down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then letting it air dry completely.
Yes, it is constructed from ripstop nylon, which is designed to resist tears and abrasions. It is an excellent choice for keeping essentials protected inside your pack, though you should avoid dragging it over sharp rocks or abrasive surfaces.
