Helikon-Tex ARID Dry Sack Small 35 l — Green/Black

The ARID Dry Sack Small is a water-resistant roll-top bag designed for use in wet conditions, persistent rain or around water. With a capacity of 35 litres and an empty weight of just 125 grams — less than an empty can — it fits inside any pack or tactical bag without eating into your payload.

The fabric has a water-repellent finish and the seams are taped along their full length: water cannot work its way in at the join points even after hours of rain exposure. One point worth being clear on: the bag is water-resistant, not waterproof. It handles rain, moisture and splashes, but it is not designed for prolonged submersion. Anyone expecting direct immersion should look at certified dry-bag solutions instead.

The roll-top closure with FASTEX buckle lets you adjust internal volume to match the contents: rolling the top flap down more reduces dead space and improves protection at the opening. The buckle can be operated one-handed, even with gloves on.

Key points

• Weight of 125 g empty: no meaningful impact on payload when used as an inner liner inside a pack
• Capacity of 35 litres: enough for clothing, electronics and moisture-sensitive kit for several days
• Full-length taped seams: eliminate the most common water entry point found in conventional bags
• Roll-top closure with FASTEX buckle: adjustable volume, one-handed operation even with gloves
• Water-resistant but not waterproof: suited to heavy rain and humidity, not to sustained submersion
