How does the Dry Bag Sling work?
The upper end of the Dry Bag Sling strap clips on to a 'D'Ring on the roll-top closure of the dry bag
The lower end of the Dry Bag Sling strap has a toggle which is threaded into the hypalon attachment point in the base seam of the dry bag
Can the Dry Bag Sling be used with an older (pre-2023) dry bag or dry sack or with a compression sack?
Older dry bags and older/current compression sacks do not have attachment points, so they will not work with the Dry Bag Sling
How much weight can I comfortably carry with the Dry Bag Sling?
We would suggest a load limit of around 15kg and a comfortable carry limit of 9kg.
