I have been searching for dry bags for our Bimini trip and found that two of the Extra Large Kwik Tek Dry Pak Waterproof Duffel Bags will just fit in the SX230 ski locker. They do a good job of maximizing the space and were $54 each from Amazon. The top rolls over to seal out water and they can be worn as a back pack. They are large enough that we should be able to get our 5 days of clothing for our family of four into two bags. They should be waterproof as long as the ski locker does not fill to the top of the bag.

That fold over seal is way better than it looks! I have many small bags with similar fold over flaps that you can dive with and no water gets it.
 
I've seen them used on whitewater rafting trips where the entire boat is underwater. Everything stays dry with those type of seals.
 
I have several of these Bruce. They come in various sizes and are more similar to a stuff pouch. They are very durable and pretty much waterproof except for not rated for "underwater". They weigh only ounces, and are quick and easy. There is a big assortment of them at Cabelas or any outdoor sports store, the climbers and campers use them.

We'60-Ltr-Roll-Top-Duffel-OB1012R_45d.jpg itemImage_111_1_18_19_19_15.jpg ve been using Overboard bags for a couple of years. They are a little more expensive, but the quality is outstanding. They have both "waterproof" and "water resistant" bags and even have backpacks!

nice....ordering two!
 
We have used these dry bags for two years and are very happy with them. We pack our clothes for the tows and Bimini for the four of us in two of the dry bags. I am able to put a bag on each shoulder to walk in and out of the hotels we stay at during the tows.
