    I have a few drybags made by Outdoor Research that have worked very
well.  They're known as the "Advanced" Hydropruf Stuff Bag.  They're a nylon
cloth bag with an inner waterproof liner.  All the inside seams are taped.
The top is rolled as usual but it is kept closed by velcro rather than
buckles.  The have also sewn a tape strip with slots so you can 'biner or
tie down the bag.  They also have a nylon strap on the bottom so you can
hang on while pulling stuff out.  They're also narrow so they'll fit through
that small circular hatch......
    Some things came out a little damp once when the bag was under water for
hours, but otherwise it seems trustworthy.
    I got mine at a place called the Nickel, but I've seen them at EMS as
well.

        Is cordura the same as ballistic nylon?
