I carry clothes and sleeping bags for myself and my brother in this dry bag when we go camping and after pushing the air out it compresses them slightly so it even reduces some of the space those items would take up. It’s rained on us at least once every time during these trips and on one of them the bag sat outside in a boat for the whole storm and never had moisture get to what’s inside. The ground on these trips was usually gravel or sand but the bottom of the bag still looks great after having been sat down in it or dragged around some. The clips haven’t shown any signs of bending or damage from pressure of the rolled up bag or from being carried around either. The bag works great.
