Lamicall Dry Bag Waterproof Bag with IPX8 phone pouch (20L, Grey) – PVC 500D drybag for kayaking, camping & boating

If you’re heading out near water, a regular rucksack just isn’t built for spray, rain, or accidental dunking. The Lamicall Dry Bag Waterproof Bag is designed to keep the stuff you care about dry, and it adds a bonus IPX8 waterproof phone pouch in the same order. On paper, it’s the kind of straightforward drybag solution you can use for boating, kayaking, camping days at the beach, or even driving in bad weather.

That said, it’s not a free-for-all for water use. You’ll want to seal it properly, and it’s also not meant for underwater use—so it suits “keep dry” situations more than “submerge and forget” expectations.

The essentials

This is a PVC 500D waterproof drybag in a 20L size (Grey). The core promise is simple: protect items from rain, snow, dirt, dust and sand, and (with enough air inside) it can float. The top closure is roll-and-seal style: you roll the top down 3 or 4 times and then close the fastener for a better seal.

What makes it feel more practical than a basic drybag is the included waterproof phone pouch. It’s IPX8 certified, uses HD TPU material, and is intended for touchscreen use, photos and calls (with the note that fingerprint unlocking may not work through the pouch). The outer pocket is there for convenient essentials like credit cards and keys, but the instructions are clear: don’t put electronic devices or valuables in that pocket.

What you’ll notice in daily use

In real-world terms, this drybag is built around quick, repeatable habits: load your gear, roll the top a few times, then clip it shut. When used that way, it should help stop water ingress from rain and spray, and it’s also aimed at keeping sand and dust out—handy for beach days or windy camping.

The included phone pouch is the kind of add-on that can actually change how you pack. Rather than worrying about holding your phone in a plastic bag, you can place your phone in the pouch first and then put the pouch inside the drybag for what the brand calls “double protection”. If you’re kayaking, this is the difference between taking a photo safely and constantly second-guessing water exposure.

Small limitation to keep in mind: this is a drybag for keeping things dry and protected. It’s not suitable for underwater use, so if your plan is frequent full submersion, you’ll be happier looking for a different category of gear.

Key features that matter (and what they mean)

A big part of the appeal is the materials and construction. The bag is made from PVC 500D waterproof fabric, and the description points to anti-scratch, anti-tear and durable build quality with precision seams. It also notes the buckle, shoulder strap and zip are less prone to damage than “other products on the market”, which matters if you’re using it regularly rather than once a year.

Capacity-wise, the 20L size is positioned for longer days rather than quick errands—think long-distance cycling, camping, and beach activities. It also comes with a set-up for carrying: the 20L/30L/40L versions are supplied with two shoulder straps for backpack use, plus the bag can be folded for storage.

Who it’s for (and who should look elsewhere)

It suits you if you want a single, portable waterproof bag for outdoor trips where rain, splashes, and sandy conditions are a real possibility. If you’re the sort of person who regularly goes boating, kayaking, fishing, camping or beach-hopping, it’s a sensible “pack it once, seal it properly” approach.

It may not be the best match if you’re planning to use it underwater. Also, if you tend to store electronics loosely in convenient side pockets, you’ll need to follow the guidance that the outer pocket shouldn’t hold electronic devices or valuables.

One more practical point: the seal matters. If you don’t roll the top down 3 or 4 times and close the fastener properly, you’re giving water a route in—so it’s more about correct use than the bag doing everything on its own.

Practical tips before you buy

Before committing, check whether the 20L capacity fits your typical load. If you carry bulky items for longer trips, 20L might feel just right, if you’re packing for longer multi-day excursions, you may prefer a higher capacity option. Also, think about how you’ll carry it: the 20L version is set up with backpack-style straps, which is great for cycling or longer walks to the water.

If you want to use your phone on the go, remember the pouch is for touchscreen use, photos and calls, but fingerprint unlocking may not work through it. That’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s worth knowing ahead of time.

And if floatation is part of your plan, the guidance is “with adequate air”. That means packing with an eye on how much air space remains—don’t overstuff it.

Should you buy it?

A solid buy if you want a PVC 500D waterproof drybag with an included IPX8 waterproof phone pouch, and you’re comfortable using the roll-and-seal closure every time. It’s a good fit for kayaking, camping and boating days where spray, rain, dirt and sand are the usual worries.

You might want to skip it if underwater use is central to your activities, or if you’re after a no-fuss setup where sealing details don’t matter. In that case, this sits more in the “protect from water exposure” category than in “designed for immersion” territory.
