Exped Fold Drybags UL use the lightest fabrics to produce one of the lightest drybags available, with a roll top closure and fully taped seams. With an improved design providing you with more usable space these bags just got better.
Exped says:
Ultralight (= UL), waterproof drybags with roll-top closure made of 15 D ripstop nylon with silicone coating on the outside and PU coating on the inside. Perfect for usage when every gram counts. Fully taped seams and with a lightweight version of the closure and buckle. The translucent fabric allows you to recognize the contents. No base grab handle.
Exped's Fold Drybag UL are the lightest within the Exped range. They are are still waterproof with taped seams and the roll top closure making them exceptional, high performing storage options. The only thing that's missing compared to the heavier drybags is a grab handle. Obviously, they are not as durable as those made from heavier material but the weight saving is significant if you are particularly weight conscious.
The weight of the UL Drybags are about half that of the standard Drybags yet there is little difference in performance.

Very happy with the 13L (blue bag). It weighs 27g on my scale and I've been able to fit my quilt, sleep clothes, spare underwear and a puffy with room to spare for my electronics. I very rarely carry a pack cover so a good dry sack in my rucksack is essential for important bits. To test it I put a few loo rolls inside, closed it up and stuck in in the shower for 10 mins, not a splash! The material is super light but a bit thin so it will require a lot of care and I'm yet to see if it can withstand a bramble or two. Nevertheless, highly recommend.
These are absolutely fantastic for keeping your stuff dry, and even more importantly, organised. I’m currently on an eight-month trip, and I couldn’t live without them. Get the set, use the different sizes and colours to set up a system, and never lose anything in the depths of your rucksack again. They’re incredibly light, and stand up to a surprising amount of punishment. I wouldn’t submerge them in water, but they’ve all withstood rain and splashing so far.
