Technical Specifications & Professional Construction
Unlike mass-market modern dry sacks made from thin materials with sprayed-on coatings, the "Bone Dry" series features an incredibly robust, technical build:
• • Material: Premium Nylon Taffeta base fabric.
• • Fabric Weight: 400d (Denier) for an expedition grade, flexible pack and superior roll seal.
• • Waterproof Membrane: Features a specialized sheet urethane membrane bonded directly to the nylon using a high-precision heated roller and pressure application process. This creates a remarkably resilient, total waterproof barrier that resists delamination far better than modern PU sprays.
• • Seam Construction: Radio Frequency (RF) Welded seams for a completely fused, impermeable waterproof bond.
• • Stress Reinforcement: The welded seams are overstitched with heavy-duty nylon tape. This critical design feature transfers all carrying and handling stresses away from the waterproof body and directly up to the closure.
• • Closure: Extra-wide nylon roll-top closure engineered for a rock-solid, watertight seal.
Condition
• • Condition: Brand New Old Stock (NOS). Unused, never fielded, and straight from the original Chugiak shop inventory. Pristine material, perfect urethane lining, and 100% structurally sound.
Dimensions (Approximate) Size Medium, volume 45 liters
• • Length/Height (Unrolled): 29 inches
• • Width: 11 inches
