Optimum Packraft Dry Bag Material to attach to Seek Outside Frame

[Derrick White]

I just had a cargo zip installed on my packraft. I was using a S2S Stopper Dry Bag 65L at 16 oz.  The standard cargo sacs are 19 oz and are water proof.

To minimize the weight gain i am thinking that Ino longer need such a bomber bag.  I can put the cargo pods into a lighter bag to strap on the Seek Outside frame.

I am considering 2.2 oz cubin hybrid, a version of xpac or some other material.

All suggestions wecome.  Thanks in advance.

Other than perhaps weight, why not xpac?

If I’m interpreting your intent correctly, could you use 30d heat sealable nylon? 3.0oz per yard and very waterproof of course.

Here are some heat sealable fabrics at Seattle fabrics.

Or you can get good heat sealable fabrics from DIY packraft, including a very nice 40d.
