Just looking at these http://www.alpkit.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16469&category_id=295 I'm interested in the 8l one but will be times I may only half fill it, so can anyone tell me if these drybags fold down easily as they look much thicker material than say an Exped version?

It won't fold down to half full at all well, but they are 5 quid, get a 5 litre one as well.

Cheers for reply, thought they looked more rigid, will go for one of their Airlok drybags instead which look more like Exped ones.

Bobbins!
They'll roll down to whatever size you want as long as you expel the air first.

I haven't seen the Exped ones, but with the Airlok XTra you just keep rolling the top down over and over as long as you squeeze the air out properly. Alternatively just flatten it out and wrap it around itself.
