These are lightweight ripstop nylon stuff bags. The fabric is water repellent, but the stitching is not watertight (or air tight). They make fine lightweight bags for keeping your backpacking gear separate in a single compartment bag.They’ll keep some light rain off your clothes, but they’re not going to endure through actual water exposure. I would not trust these to protect anything electronic, nor any sort of life-saving gear that depends on staying dry.

I bought these as sub $10.00 organizer sacks (slightly water resistant) for hiking with my backpack. I just opened the package and inspected them, and I think they will perform adequately for that purpose.Most of the reviews on this item are pretty accurate, unlike many Amazon Product reviews where I am left feeling, “I have no idea what to believe”. For a $10 item (3 sacks) you will not get a Dry, Compression, Stuff sack(s) that is the same as top tier manufacturers that can charge even $30 or more per single item – that only makes sense.The package labeling “ULTIMATE DRY SACK” is pure hyperbole. However, the front of the package also states “watertight roll top compression” – well, if you roll the top 3-5 times, the top only might resist water to the innermost fold. Most true, however, the package also states “weather resistant” – well that’s more to the heart of the matter of what they really are. If you wish to increase water repellency treat them with Nikwax or some other DWR equivalent.The inside of the sack (which looks like rip stop nylon) appears water repellent and they do actually have taped seams! This would never approach the quality on my Mystery Ranch backpack or Marmot shell, but you get what you pay for. Just define what purpose it is that you need these “organizer sacks” to fulfill, and have reasonable expectations. If you want a “real” Dry Sack or Compression Sack, you will likely have to bite the bullet and spend the money.*As a side note I have had a Outdoor Products Backpack Cover ($5) for 2-3 years and used it all year round in the Pacific Northwest where we know about the rain. Of course I gave it a DWR treatment and have had no problems with it. It’s a bit clunky but I didn’t want to spend $30 on a premium product at the time. I even bought a second one for my friend and he is/and has been happy with it.
