65 liter dry bag for ropes and climbing kit in wet weather.
The ArborTec Cobra DryKit rope bag holds 65 liters of rope and gear and keeps it dry and clean. It is a good fit for a climbing line plus a saddle and hardware.
Rope and soft gear last longer when kept clean and dry. A wet rope dragged across a muddy site picks up grit that cuts fibers from the inside. A dry bag keeps rope, saddle and hardware out of rain, mud, sawdust and the fuel and oil in the truck bed.
At 65 liters there is space for a climbing line and the rest of your kit in one bag.
A roomy dry bag also makes the start of each job faster. Instead of pulling separate pieces from the truck, the climber grabs one bag with rope, saddle and hardware together. On wet days, the gear starts the climb dry instead of soaked from the truck bed.
Let wet gear dry fully before sealing it in, since trapped moisture can lead to mildew. Keep the bag away from saw chain and sharp tools. Wipe out sawdust and grit regularly.
Inspect your rope and gear after removing it from the bag, as always. Browse other gear bags.
Store the bag out of direct sun when not in use, and check seams and closures for wear. A bag that no longer seals will still carry gear but will not keep it dry.
