While the other reviews do a great job of describing these bags, the exact sizes are left a little to the imagination. Just how large is a 10L bag? The bag's packaging helps solve this riddle:
5L 7"x8" (weighs 7 oz.)
10L 8"x14" (weighs 11 oz.)
20L 9"x16" (weighs 14.5 oz.)
30L 11"x19" (weighs 1 lb. 4 oz.)
40L 13"x20" (weighs 1 lb. 8 oz.)
55L 13"x25" (weighs 1 lb. 12 oz.)

I have rafted rivers from the Gauley to the Grand Canyon to Cataract Canyon and a host of others inbetween. I can say that these dry bags are just that...dry. I have had them on the bottom of a pile of bags in a boat in 1-2 inches of water all day and not a drop of water entered the bag. I have used them on multi-day Jeep trips in all kinds of weather and not a drop of water in the bag. They may cost a bit more but if dryness is your goal this is the bag for you. In a word...quality.

Terrific waterproof material. The #5 is not large when rolled down from the top closure but it's excellent for keeping small things dry like: matches, pocket & backpack stoves, batteries. It wouldn't help to hike in or out too far they take up room because they are meant for boating I suppose. Anyway I like it very much for car camping. I'll probably get another medium-size bag.

I use both the 5 Liter and 10 Liter bags for canoeing and rafting. They are extremely well made and I have never had any leaks, even after complete submersion. I used to keep a camera in the bag but not any more. When I saw something I wanted to photograph, I had to unfold the seal to get at the camera. This simply took too long and the moment was usually gone. So don't use this as a waterproof camera case. Get a waterproof camera instead and use the SealLine to keep your lunch and gear dry. That it does extremely well.

THe bag came quickly to my home, and works great. It saved me from drowning a third phone while kayaking. The 5 L bag is great for small items, if you are looking to keep more then a phone camera wallet and t-shirt dry you may want to purchase a larger bag. The bag works great and is easy to use!

I got a 5L bag and overall it's a good bag but a little too heavy for backpacking. My main issue is that the opening is very small while the bag is fairly long. Combined with it's stiff material, it's hard to pack bigger items into it. Would be nicer if it was wider and shorter. I prefer the storm sack and the USMC sack which has a built in air-valve to let the excess air out once closed.

This dry bag works great. The 30 Liter size is big enough for a small dog however! Pay attention (unlike me) to the dimensions and order the size you really need. I should have gone smaller...

With the help of the post by Ludlow Ninja with the sizes posted, I decided on the 30L bag. When the bag arrived it looked a little bigger than I thought.

That is because the sizes of the bags are listed as Diameter x Length of usable space after they are rolled down closed.

For Example:
30L 11"x19" (weighs 1 lb. 4 oz.)

It is 11" in diameter, if it is laid flat the Dry Bag is 17" in width.
It is 19" when you close the bag and roll it down, but if you measure it open like the picture it is about 30" long.

Other than that, the bag is heavy duty and completely dry inside when sealed up.

I pack all of my camping gear into this bag when travelling by motorcycle. Tent, sleeping pad, cooking gear, basically everything except my sleeping bag fits.

This bag keeps everything dry as a bone, even in turd-floating rain!

Well worth the price.

I have had a small (10l) size Baja that I have used for close to 20 years while canoeing, kayaking, and even swimming, and it still works great. Roll it up tight and there are no worries.
