Gill Voyager Duffel Dry Bag 60L in Deep Dive

Gill Voyager 60L Waterproof Kit Bag for Families and Dinghy Crews

Packing for a junior training weekend usually means kit for more than one sailor: two sets of wetsuits and boots, buoyancy aids, spray tops, towels and a dry change of clothes for the drive home. The Gill Voyager Duffel Dry Bag 60L in Deep Dive puts all of it in one sealed bag instead of four soggy carrier bags in the boot, and it is just as useful for a doublehander crew packing for an open meeting together.

Nothing gets in or out once it is closed. The PVC tarpaulin is made to resist punctures and the seams are welded, not stitched, so a wet wetsuit inside will not soak the car and a downpour outside will not soak the dry clothes. Roll the top over a few times and snap the side-release buckles shut. On the way home with less in it, open the compression valve, press out the air and cinch the straps so the bag shrinks to suit.

The squared shape sits flat on a car seat or in a trailer box, and a padded shoulder strap and rubber handles at both ends make it easy to move however full it is. At 1.1kg, the bag itself adds little to the load.
