The Silva Dry Bag 12 litre model

Silva, the Swedish brand best known for its compasses, is launching a range of dry bags to keep the rain off walkers gear.

The Silva Carry Dry Bags come in sizes from 6 litres up to 36 litres, and the company said the sacks are suitable for items ranging from small bare essentials to a large down sleeping bag or jacket.

Silva said: “Silva Carry Dry Bags are easy to load and close – roll the top edges at least three times, close the buckle and your belongings are kept clean and dry.

“The bags are made of extremely lightweight 30 denier Cordura fabric, a well proven and durable material, suitable for any outdoor activity and ideal for ‘minimalistic’ camping or backpacking.

“And you can count on the cheery colours to brighten even the greyest of days.”

The Dry Bag range retails from £11.99 to £19.99 and the sacks are available in pink (6L), orange (12L), green (24L) and blue (36L).
