Why this one

A sealed bag for spare clothes and first aid, with many owners reporting years of use on rivers.

What was found

The Ocoee is recommended as a smaller choice for river trips. The measured immersion test covered the larger Colorado, so it is not an Ocoee depth test.

What owners report

Several owners describe years of kayaking or rafting use with dry contents and lasting seams. Some find the opening awkward or too small. These reports span older bags and do not prove a depth rating for a new one.

Limits and cautions

  • Practise closing and opening the ZipDry seal. Keep it clean and follow the maker's care instructions.
  • Check your actual load fits after closing. A 10.5 litre bag will not fit every person's spare winter clothing.
  • Do not treat it as flotation or rescue equipment. We have no independent depth and time test of this exact orange bag.
  • The shop URL says 15l, but the maker lists 10.5 litres rolled. Match the orange GTIN before ordering.
  • The shop offers free standard Irish delivery above its published thresholds. This offer clears both thresholds.
  • Tell the shop within 14 days if you want to return it. Its policy gives another 14 days to send unused goods back. We have not tested a return or warranty claim.
