Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp and coarse anglers carrying spare clothing. It gives your dry layers a dedicated waterproof home, ready for a quick change when the weather turns.
- Anglers separating wet waders from the rest of their luggage. Wet kit can be contained in the bag, helping stop water escaping into your carryall or barrow load.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers packing a full set of bulky winter clothing. Twenty litres is useful, but it can fill up quickly once big fleeces, waterproofs and extra layers go in.
- Anyone wanting lots of pockets and instant access. This is a simple roll-top dry bag rather than a multi-compartment luggage system.

Fully waterproof construction, welded seams and reinforced handles give it the right features for regular bank use.
The roll-top closure and compressed packing design are well suited to protecting clothing and containing wet kit.
It won’t catch fish directly, but keeping clothing and waders organised can make wet, changeable sessions more comfortable and efficient.
The roll-top design is simple to understand, and the carry handles make moving the bag around the swim easy.
As a focused waterproof clothing and wader bag, it offers useful bank practicality without trying to replace every bit of luggage you own.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Korda Compac Bag
Some fishing luggage is all about pockets, clips and clever little sections. Handy, sure. But sometimes you just need a proper dry bag that keeps the wet stuff away from everything else. That’s where the Korda Compac Dry Bag comes in.
This is the 20-litre version, built for the sort of kit that can make a session a bit grim when it gets soaked. Spare clothes, waders and damp layers all have somewhere sensible to go, instead of ending up loose in the barrow or shoved under the bedchair.
The main job is simple: keep water out. The bag has a fully waterproof construction, while the welded seams are designed to give you a proper waterproof seal. That makes it a useful bit of insurance when the heavens open and your gear is sat outside the bivvy.
It works the other way, too. Wet waders or clothing can go inside the bag after a session, helping prevent water leaking out and spreading across your other luggage. Nobody wants to arrive home to a carryall that smells like a forgotten margin swim. This keeps the mess more contained.
The roll-top closure is the bit that makes it particularly useful on the bank. Rather than relying on a zip, you roll the top down to close it. That design is easy to understand, easy to use and also compresses the contents, so the bag doesn’t take up more room than necessary.
That compression is dead handy when space is tight. On a short overnighter, you can pack a change of clothes, roll the top down and tuck the bag under a bedchair or into a larger luggage system. If you’re barrowing a fair way, keeping bulky kit compact is always a bonus.
At 25cm by 25cm by 30cm, it has a neat, upright shape rather than being a huge floppy sack. The 20-litre capacity should suit spare clothing or waders, although winter layers can soon eat into that space. Pack sensibly and it’ll earn its keep; try stuffing every fleece you own inside and you’ll be having a proper faff.
The reinforced carry handles are another small but useful touch. They give you a straightforward way to shift the bag between the car, barrow and swim, especially when it’s full or holding damp kit. It’s not trying to be a full luggage system, and that’s the appeal: one job, done without much fuss.
For anglers who like keeping their kit tidy and separated, this is a cracking little addition. Put dry clothing in it before the session, or use it as a wet-kit sack afterwards. Either way, it helps keep the rest of your gear in better nick when the weather turns decidedly British.
The only real limitation is capacity. Twenty litres is useful rather than enormous, so you’ll need to think about what goes in. It’s best viewed as a dedicated clothing or wader bag, not a replacement for your main carryall. Used that way, the Korda Compac Dry Bag looks like a proper practical bit of bank luggage.

Our take
Why the dry-bag design matters
This isn’t about fancy compartments or loads of zips. It’s about giving damp and dry kit their own space, which can make a proper difference on a wet session.
The roll-top closure also compresses the contents, so you can squeeze the air out and keep the bag neater when it’s tucked into a barrow, rucksack or shelter.
What you’re buying
A simple waterproof home for wet-weather kit
The Korda Compac Dry Bag gives you 20 litres of fully waterproof storage in a compact 25cm × 25cm × 30cm format. It’s aimed squarely at spare clothing and waders, with enough room for useful session essentials without becoming a massive lump of luggage.
Its welded seams are designed to provide a waterproof seal, while the roll-top closure helps stop water getting in. Roll the top down after packing and the contents compress, which makes the bag easier to fit into a barrow, shelter or larger luggage setup.
Worth knowing. This is a dedicated dry bag, not a pocket-heavy carryall. Smaller accessories will need their own organisation, but that stripped-back design keeps the main job clear: protect dry kit and contain wet kit.
Best on the bank
Ideal for anglers who separate their kit
It’ll suit carp and coarse anglers who carry a spare change of clothes, waterproof layers or waders. Keeping those items together means you can grab them quickly when the weather turns or the swim gets a bit lively.
It also makes sense for anyone packing up after a wet session. Wet waders and clothing can go inside rather than soaking your carryall, barrow bag or car boot. The reinforced handles make moving it around the bank nice and straightforward.
Worth knowing. Think carefully about the season. Twenty litres is a useful amount of space, but thick winter clothing takes up room quickly. For summer clothing, spare layers or waders, it’s a much more natural fit.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
Is it fully waterproof? Yes. The construction is fully waterproof and the welded seams are designed to create a waterproof seal, helping prevent water entering the bag.
Does it only work for dry storage? No. You can use it for wet waders or clothing as well. It helps contain wet contents and can reduce the chance of water leaking into the rest of your luggage.
Worth knowing. The roll-top needs to be closed properly to do its job. Pack the bag, roll the top down and keep the closure neat rather than overfilling it.
