Whether you’re hiking or camping there is always a lot of gear to carry, and keeping it dry is always an issue. The best method is to use drysacks, but every bag you bring along adds to the weight. And we always would think of granite as being quite heavy, yet Granite Gear instead has managed to actually help shed some weight with its new line of overnight Überlight CTF3 Drysacks.
These manage to tip the scales at just 15-21 grams (or in terms you might easier understand 0.53-0.74 ounces). The packs are constructed of the same wafer-thin composites that are used in the construction of World Cup yacht sails. And if the material goes out to sea you can expect that it will be waterproof. The Überlight CTF3 Drysacks range in size from seven to 18 liters (425-1100 cu. in.), which should be ideal to help you get organized without taking up too much space in your packs. The biggest downside to these drysacks is that they shed weight without shedding much in the way of price, in fact the Überlight CTF3 Drysacks come in at $38.95, but can you put a price on reducing weight in the pack?
If money is tight and you need to shed costs more than weight, the line of eVent drysacks are a bit cheaper, and sizes range from seven to 25 liters, and weight about 33 to 56 grams (1.2 to 2.0 ounces), but these sil nylon sacks costs just $17.95.
So what will it be super light or reasonably affordable? Granite Gear lets you have both options.
