One company I came across recently is Lochsa Connection --- think I referrenced them a while back on a dry bag thread. E-mail is <lochsa_at_camasnet.com> and web is <www.gorp.com/lochsa>. Good stuff, from the look of it. I have a couple of SeaLine bags that I bought two years ago that work well, too. Using larger bags might be difficult in that there will be a lot of friction in sliding them in, and the ends may not have the flotation you'd like. And it's nice to have multi-purpose equipment.
