NRS Bill's Bag Dry Bag

Yes, the harness is fully removable. This is a helpful feature if you are lashing the bag to a raft or bike rack and want to avoid loose straps getting snagged or tangled.

The StormStrip closure functions like a traditional roll-top dry bag. You fold the top down at least three times and buckle it shut, which creates a secure, watertight seal against the elements.

While it is a massive 110L bag designed primarily for river expeditions, it can be used for bike touring if you have a heavy-duty rack system. However, keep in mind that its size is likely overkill for standard bikepacking setups and is better suited for gear-hauling on a trailer or a sturdy rear rack.

The bag is built with heavy-duty 21 oz. TobaTex and features a reinforced 34 oz. TobaTex bottom, which is exceptionally abrasion-resistant. While it is designed to handle the rigors of river life, it is still a textile product, so you should avoid dragging it over sharp, jagged surfaces whenever possible.

No, the Bill's Bag is a single, large-volume compartment. It is designed for maximum capacity rather than organization, so you will want to use smaller dry sacks or stuff sacks inside to keep your gear sorted.

The bag includes padded shoulder straps to help distribute weight, but because it has a 110L capacity, it can get very heavy very quickly. It is comfortable for short portages or walks from a vehicle to a campsite, but it is not designed for long-distance hiking.
