The Perfect Size for Weekend Adventures
Not every adventure requires expedition-level packing. Sometimes you just need enough space for a couple of days on the water, a weekend camping trip, or a paddleboarding getaway without hauling around a giant gear bag.

That’s where the NRS Bill’s Bag 65L Dry Bag comes into its own.

Offering the same legendary durability and waterproof protection that has made Bill’s Bags famous since 1977, the 65L version delivers a more manageable size that’s ideal for weekend adventures, overnight paddleboarding trips, kayaking expeditions, and outdoor travel.

If you’re looking for a waterproof dry bag for paddleboarding, a reliable SUP dry bag, or a rugged companion for weekends away, the Bill’s Bag 65L strikes the perfect balance between storage capacity and portability.

Big Enough for Adventure, Small Enough to Travel

One of the biggest advantages of the NRS Bill’s Bag 65L Dry Bag is its versatility.

With enough room to carry your essential gear, clothing, sleeping bag, food, and extra layers, it’s perfectly suited to short adventures where you need to pack smart without compromising on comfort.

Unlike larger expedition bags, the 65L size remains easier to carry, transport, and store, making it a popular choice for:

  • Weekend paddleboarding trips
  • Overnight SUP adventures
  • Kayak touring
  • Camping weekends
  • Van life and road trips
  • Outdoor travel

It’s also compact enough to fit into the overhead compartments of many airlines, making it an excellent choice for paddlers who travel.

Legendary Bill’s Bag Durability

The Bill’s Bag name has earned a loyal following over decades for one simple reason, it lasts.

Constructed from a tough 21 oz TobaTex body fabric and reinforced with a heavy-duty 34 oz TobaTex base, this bag is built to withstand years of use in demanding outdoor environments.

Whether it’s being strapped to a paddleboard, packed into a kayak hatch, loaded into a van, or dragged across a rocky shoreline, it’s designed to take the punishment and keep protecting your gear.

Built to handle:

  • Paddleboarding adventures
  • River trips
  • Campsites and beaches
  • Frequent travel
  • Everyday outdoor use

This is a dry bag that’s designed for the long haul.

Smart Storage Without the Bulk

With a generous 65-litre capacity, the Bill’s Bag offers plenty of room for your essential kit while remaining far easier to manage than larger expedition bags.

The four integrated compression straps allow you to:

  • Reduce unused space
  • Secure your load
  • Improve carrying comfort
  • Keep gear stable during transport

This means the bag works just as well when partially packed as it does when fully loaded.

StormStrip™ Closure for Dependable Protection

When conditions turn wet, reliable waterproof protection becomes essential.

The proven StormStrip™ closure system creates a secure fold-down seal that helps keep water away from your gear while still providing quick access when you need it.

The top-loading design also makes packing and unpacking simple, especially when you’re living out of your bag for a few days.

Comfortable to Carry

A fully loaded dry bag can quickly become uncomfortable if it’s poorly designed.

That’s why NRS equips the Bill’s Bag 65L with an adjustable backpack harness and padded shoulder straps, allowing you to comfortably carry your gear from the car park to the launch point or from the riverbank to camp.

For many paddlers, this is one of the standout features that separates Bill’s Bags from standard dry bags.

Designed for Travel

If your adventures take you further afield, you’ll appreciate the removable backpack harness.

By removing the harness before checking luggage or travelling, you can reduce snag points and help protect the bag during transport. It’s a small feature that makes a big difference for frequent travellers.

Why Choose the NRS Bill’s Bag 65L Dry Bag?

The 65L model is often the sweet spot in the Bill’s Bag range.

It offers enough capacity for meaningful adventures while remaining easier to transport, carry, and store than larger expedition bags.

Choose the 65L if you want:

  • A dry bag for weekend adventures
  • Waterproof storage for paddleboarding trips
  • Airline-friendly travel capability
  • Premium durability
  • Comfortable carrying options
  • Proven NRS reliability
