Does anyone know where I can get a dual-ended dry bag - I'm looking for the double-ended equivalent of this:

https://www.ortlieb.com/en/Dry%20Bag%20PD350/

Basically, so I can get at what's in the bottom without having to unpack the lot.

I've looked at things like the Alpkit Airlok Dual and a couple of others, but I want something with beefier material.

I've seen a few things, but they all seem to be from US companies and I want it for next week.

Needs to be 18-20 litre volume.

Thanks in advance.

Lomo are always worth a look for this kind of stuff. They're a lot like Alpkit - relatively cheap 'no frills' kit and excellent mail-order service.

12L any good to you?

Not particularly beefy though, that one.

They also do some tougher bags in a 'holdall' design - so the opening is on the wider side. They're less waterproof because of that so probably not what you want if the bag needs to be good for prolonged immersion.

I saw the 12l one, but it's too small and looks flimsy.

I did look at the holdall design, but not sure it's quite what I want, as too many fussy details on it. Immersion shouldn't be a problem - just needs to be rainproof.

I'd second the lomo holdall if you want an easy-access drybag. Mine is the 60 litre version and it's not especially fussy tbh. I use mine as an expedition holdall as it is happily waterproof enough to survive a downpour or sitting in a puddle all night. A mate has one in the 40 litre size too and she loves hers.

Having used and handled a lot of Lomo Bags, The black dry bags are anything but flimsy. they're significantly more durable than your exped style dry bags and would stand up to about the same abuse as a North face holdall/equivalent product.

The Holdall's are anything but fussy when it comes to details. Theres 2 handles, a clip at each end of the opening and 2 straps over the top and thats it. I would highly recommend Lomo for any drybags you'd need
