The material is listed as polyester and PU. These are fabric with a plastic lining. If you zoom into the photos, these are pretty clearly ripstop fabric with taped seams.

I should point out that I don't think a lot of people understand that there is a difference between what some sellers call a 'dry bag' and a 'dry sack.' I'd call these 'dry sacks', which are lighter duty, and probably closer to 'weatherproof' than waterproof.

I bought some similar bags for my first multi-day rafting trip a few years ago and they did not last the week. They had holes pretty quickly just from rubbing against the dirt and sand in the rafts.

I'd use these when I'm hiking to keep a down jacket dry from heavy rain or something like that. If you want a real dry bag that can hold up to beaches, sand, and be used on boats or near rivers, you should look for vinyl bags.

I have these and they're pretty solid. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=43353

These are on the small side, but price is excellent! Great for anything near water or snow. I never knew how much I had missed a dry bag til I bought my first one Wink (fwiw, 20-30L is about the size of a normal daypack, but these are still good for not losing smaller items like phones. Roll them up with some air inside and they float).

Not too bad for a brand name
I tried finding comparable on Amazon, nothing at this price

Anyone know if this is a rubber/pastic or fabric type feel?

I got a dry bag from Amazon that felt fabric. It did the job but I just don't trust it compare to the rubber/plastic type bag.

Thanks op. In for a set. Look like quality bags. Like other poster said, picture probably a bit misleading, these are small bags. But the pictures for all sets of 3 for sale by any vendor look misleading too.

Fabric:
68 D Polyester, Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Dunno if that helps to answer the feel question.

It also says $3.25 in Greater Rewards as a special offer?

Got these last time. The bags are pretty small and not that wide. (The smallest size I use for my phone, keys and wallet) They do have more of the fabric feel vs. plastic. Have not had them submerged but would make me a little nervous if they did which is why I double bag em.

Link to a comparable or better deal? From a name brand, and non-sketchy vendor?

Thank you.
If anyone wants to try polyster material (with plastic lining), try the one above.
Free return on Amazon.
Much better than this Columbia "deal", given they charge $6 for return/refund.

Yes, vinyl material was my first dry bag purchase.
I didn't know much about dry bags--thought they were all the same (material).
Not the cheapest bag.
But, I got lucky, as it's waterproof.
Took it kayaking and SUP. I trust it.

My second dry bag, was like the Amazon link you posted.
From amazon too.
Good ratings
5 bags for cheap.
I knew it was too good to be true, considering price of my first bag.
Yup, polyester with a plastic lining.
Weather-resistant, not waterproof.
I returned it.
