Direct answer

Short answer: For most kayak day trips, 10L fits phone, keys, wallet, and a compact layer; 20L fits lunch, a light fleece, and spare socks more comfortably. YEShop lists HEETA waterproof dry bags in 5L/10L/20L/30L/40L sizes (transparent PVC roll-top; includes a phone case per listing) and Earth Pak waterproof dry bags across 5L–55L with catalog notes that 10L & 20L use a single shoulder strap while larger sizes add backpack straps, plus an IPX8 phone case.

Roll-tops keep splash and short dunks off gear when closed correctly — listings position them for kayaking/boating, not underwater sports. YEShop does not invent submersion time ratings beyond what you confirm on Amazon.

FAQ

Is 10L or 20L better for kayaking day trips?

10L for essentials only; 20L if you pack lunch and spare clothes. Oversizing makes the bag bulkier in a small cockpit.

Are these dive bags?

No — catalog/HEETA notes waterproof for surface water sports, not underwater sports.

Do 10L/20L Earth Pak bags have backpack straps?

Catalog says 10L & 20L use a single shoulder strap; larger sizes get backpack straps.

Is HEETA transparent?

Yes — listing emphasizes a transparent dry bag to see contents.

Will a roll-top survive a full swim?

Depends on closure quality, overpacking, and rating — confirm IP claims and pack a redundant zip pouch for irreplaceables.

Prices?

See Amazon. No invented prices. Size sold as variants — pick 10L or 20L on the Amazon page.
