Hi all. Seen people saying to get drybags on an old thread. These still okay and recommended? If so, what size? I just bought a Jack Wolfskin waterproof, insulated jacket as I can't take my North Face parka to training! Anyone had any bad experiences with Jack Wolfskin products in the past?

This depends on your training team. I seen that thread before I went to pirbright in September and was told I couldn’t use them as I needed to learn how to military kit before my own. We were allowed to use them on our final exercise however there was no point in actually going out and buying kit. Especially since shop at Pirbright sells dry bags
