Ultra light, double ended dry rolls specifically designed for bikepacking to strap into front or rear harnesses. Dry bags that are made for watersports are often ill-fitting as front rolls on bikes and too wide to give enough wheel clearance.

Style 1: Double ended, with clip together quick release buckles (Ultra 200 / 400 UHMWPE fabric)

Style 2: Double ended, with compression straps & clip together quick release buckles (Ultra 200 / 400 UHMWPE fabric) Riders on drop bars and flared bars – compression straps are your long-awaited solution. Tighten your load to keep the rolled ends turned inwards away from your shifters. 

Compatible with the Paper Roads Ranger harness.

Also can be used as a saddlebag, slotted into the Wayward Riders dropper post harness.

Specs

  • Yonder 11L: 90g no compression straps / 120g with compression straps, 53cm round / 77cm full length / 47cm ideal rolled length with 3-4 folds each end
  • Overland 14L: 105g no compression straps / 130g with compression straps / 58cm round / 85cm full length / 55cm ideal rolled length with 3-4 folds each end

Materials & Construction

  • Ultra 200 and 400 is Challenge Sailcloth's paper-thin but ultra tough UHMWPE fabric with a 100% waterproof RPET film backing. Its abrasion resistance is many times higher than Dyneema – it's extremely difficult to cut with scissors. If you're worried about wheel rub on suspension, you can now let go and start shredding!
  • The twice-taped, single felled seam is the final result of many dry bag prototypes using Ultra fabric. A single seam with double rolled ends is more waterproof than single-ended bags, by eliminating three extra seams. A theromoplastic seam tape under a 50mm wide RPET-specific adhesive tape provides a double barrier against water ingress.

Using the dry roll

  • Rule of thumb when using any dry bag - never trust it completely if you have items that must not get wet, such as underwear or sleeping bag. Even the best welded dry bag may fail sometime. Pack those things into something like an Ultra-sil Nano dry bag or carry one with you. Water has strange ways of getting into places.
  • This dry roll is not intended for kayaking or pack rafting. It will perform in brief river crossings or submersion.
  • It's ideal if you can stuff your sleeping bag into a skinny stuff sack and roll your sleeping mat around it, then pack straight into the dry roll.
  • Avoid putting items with sharp or hard edges into the dry roll. The RPET film backing can wear thin over time.
  • Push as much air out of the bag as you can, before rolling the ends, then tighten compression straps. Compressing the bag with a lot of air inside puts pressure on the seam and waterproof seal.
  • Try to keep the folds facing downwards to avoid water pooling in the rolled ends.

Care Instructions

  • To clean, soak and wash in cold water, scrub with plastic bristle brush.
  • If you have to use a cleaning product, avoid fabric softeners.
  • DO NOT IRON. Ultra fabric is extremely sensitive to direct heat and will shrink.
  • DO NOT dry clean or tumble dry.
