    dry sacks/trash bag/ziplocks?

    Rain pants in May

    I agree with Robo, Kathmandu stuff isn't up to scratch. I buy everything online usually from the US. The website outdoorgearlab, does reviews on most items and I've trusted them for many purchases without any issues. Better quality stuff, usually cheaper based on independent advise, try it.
