Viaterra DryBag

A drybag is the simplest answer to the wettest problem. No liners to remember, no raincover to fit at the side of the road in a downpour - the bag itself is the waterproof layer. Viaterra's DryBag comes in three capacities, and all three mount universally as a motorcycle tail bag.

The 8 litre is the one you strap on for the commute or use as a sealed compartment inside a larger setup - documents, phone, charger, a change of clothes. The 40 litre handles a genuine multi-day tour. The 55 litre is built for multi-week travel where you are carrying camping gear and layers for changing conditions.

All three use a roll-top closure. Rolled down at least three folds and secured, that closure is what makes the bag waterproof - fewer folds and the seal is compromised, which is the usual explanation when someone reports a drybag letting water in.

One honest note: a drybag trades organisation for sealing. There are no external pockets to reach into while riding. If you want quick-access pockets and structure, a conventional tail bag like the Claw suits better, and you can carry a small drybag inside it for the things that must stay dry.

FAQs

Q: Which capacity should I choose?
8 litres for daily essentials or as a sealed pouch inside a bigger bag. 40 litres for a multi-day tour. 55 litres if you camp or travel for weeks and carry layers for changing weather.

Q: How do I close it properly?
Roll the top down at least three full folds before clipping it shut. This is the seal - fewer folds and water will find its way in, which is nearly always the cause when a drybag is reported as leaking.

Q: Does it have pockets?
No. A drybag is a single sealed compartment by design. If you need organised, quick-access storage, pair it with a tank bag or choose a structured tail bag instead.

Q: Can I use it off the bike?
Yes. It works as general waterproof luggage for rafting, trekking or any situation where gear needs to stay dry.

Local Buying Guide

In Indian conditions the drybag is the honest solution for monsoon touring - you are not relying on a cover staying put at 90km/h or a liner being packed correctly. Many riders run a large drybag for bulk plus a tank bag for items needed while riding. See the full tail bag range if you would rather have pockets and structure, and all drybags here.
