Lamicall Dry Bag Waterproof 30L (Grey) with IPX8 phone pouch
Product description
What it is and why you’d want it
A Lamicall Dry Bag is one of those simple outdoor accessories that quietly earns its keep. This model is a 30L waterproof dry bag with an added 100% waterproof phone pouch (IPX8). On paper, it’s designed to protect your valuables and everyday essentials from rain, snow, dirt, dust and sand—useful whether you’re getting caught in weather on the water or just want peace of mind on the beach.
It’s also described as floatable, so if you’re using it around boats, kayaking or swimming sessions, it’s meant to help prevent your kit from taking a straight trip to the bottom. That said, the manufacturer’s own note is important: it’s not suitable for underwater use. So it’s more “keep things dry in wet conditions” than “leave it submerged and hope for the best”.
Key points
If you often carry a phone, camera or paper documents where water is a real possibility, this setup is built around that. The dry bag fabric is PVC 500D waterproof, with a roll-top closure approach meant to improve sealing when you roll the top down 3 or 4 times and then fasten it.
You’re also getting an anti-scratch, anti-tear and durable build described for the bag, plus hardware (buckle, shoulder strap and zip) that’s said to be less prone to damage than other products on the market. In real buying terms, that means it’s aimed at people who want something that survives being tossed in a boat locker, stuffed into a cycling bag, or handled more roughly outdoors.
One practical limitation to keep in mind: the included outer pocket is there for handy items like credit cards and keys, but it explicitly says not to put electronic devices or valuables in the outer pocket. So for phones, camera gear, or anything you really can’t afford to get wet, you’ll want to use the waterproof phone pouch first.
What you’ll notice day to day
The main “feel” of this bag comes from its closure and how you pack it. The roll-top closure is often the difference between a dry bag that performs and one that’s merely waterproof in theory—so you’ll want to be consistent with rolling the top down and closing the fastener properly.
There’s also the included phone pouch, which is handy because touchscreens can be used through the pouch (the description notes it’s for touchscreen use, photos and calls, but except fingerprint). A simple micro-scenario: imagine you’re on a kayaking session, you want to snap a photo and quickly check your route. You put your phone into the IPX8 pouch, seal it, then pack the pouch inside the dry bag. If you get splashed or it tips into a puddle, your phone is already protected before the bag even has to do its job.
Where it shines (and where it may not)
This is a sensible pick if you need a waterproof dry bag for typical wet-outdoor activities—driving with the windows down on a miserable day, boating, kayaking and fishing, or beach trips where sand and spray are part of the deal.
It also suits longer outings in the “bring a bit more” category. The brand positions 20L/30L for long-distance cycling, camping and beach activities, while 40L is described for longer trips like backpacking and long-distance travel. So at 30L, you’re landing in the middle: enough capacity for more than just essentials, but not necessarily the “everything and the kitchen sink” option.
Not the best fit if you’re planning to rely on it underwater. Even though it can float with adequate air, it’s not meant to be used submerged. Also, if your priority is purely a small everyday waterproof pouch for quick errands, you might find a 30L bag feels oversized—though the pouch helps in that regard.

Careful buying checklist
Before you buy, it’s worth thinking about how you’ll actually close it and where you’ll put valuables.
- Will you roll the top down properly every time? The bag relies on that seal method.
- Will you protect your phone inside the waterproof pouch before it goes in the dry bag? The instructions suggest this for double protection.
- Do you need underwater use? The manufacturer says it’s not suitable for underwater use.
- Are you expecting a backpack that’s easy to live with day after day? The strap is adjustable and this size uses 2 shoulder straps, but carry comfort can still depend on how full you keep it.
Is it worth it?
A solid choice if you want a waterproof dry bag that’s built around protecting your phone (via an included IPX8 pouch) and keeping kit dry in wet, messy outdoor conditions. The 30L size tends to suit longer days out where you need more than essentials, and the floatable angle makes it more reassuring on boats or near water.
You may want to skip it if your use case involves underwater submersion, or if you only need a tiny waterproof solution for day-to-day errands. In short: it’s practical for water-adjacent activities and travel, but don’t treat it like an underwater camera housing.
