Description
This version of our bags has a textured rubber outer which means water will run off of the outside of the Dicky Bag. The Double lined version has a thin layer of polyester on the outside which will get wet in the rain. The Neoskin neoprene is more expensive than the Double lined neoprene and is why you will see a price difference between the two types of bags. Being made from 4mm thick neoprene all of our Dicky Bags are waterproof (in that water is prevented from getting inside the bag) however water will run off the outside of the Neoskin bags but make the outer layer of the Double lined bags wet.
All of our bags are made from top quality genuine neoprene and is why they work so well. They are all hand made in Lostwithiel, Cornwall by skilled workers who have clocked up years of experience working with this specialist material. They are all made the same way so no style of bag will work any better than another, the difference in cost comes down to the expense of a the base material.
All of our Dicky Bags are glued and blind stitched to keep the integrity of the seams making the bags waterproof and odour proof. On double lined and designer styles you will see the stitch line on the outside of the bags and glue lines on the inside; on Neoskin bags you will see the stitch line on the inside and the glue line on the outside.
If your Dicky Bag gets dirty you can wash the bag in a machine on a cool 30 degree wash. We recommend removing all the loose items such as the carabineer and one wrap Velcro and turning the bottom section of the bag only inside out. When washed hang up and air dry. To keep your bag from taking on any unpleasant odours make sure that you replace the air freshener when required and wash when necessary.
Our bags are extremely tough and durable and are designed to be used on every dog walk you go on and if treated correctly will last you for years and years. To prolong the life of your bag we advise you clean and lubricate the zip regularly as you are using the bag outside in all weathers and conditions and small particles of dirt, grit, salt etc can easily get caught in the teeth and can result in zip damage
The top section of the, clean storage pocket, of the Dicky Bag is designed to accommodate any style of pick up bag including rolls or flat packs. The storage area is big enough to store 2 rolls.

When I first saw these I really wasn’t sold on the idea but then thinking about it how many times have I:
– had to go back and retrieve a full pooh bag that’s swung off the little clip on my pooh bag dispenser when my mad dog is pulling me along?
– put up with the smell carrying a full pooh bag around?
– had to leave a full bag in a hot car? yuk.
Yeah this thing is amazing. I popped the air freshener in the bottom and away we went.
The dogs helpfully contributed 3 deposits to help with our first test and with the dickie bag clipped on my backpack straps it wasn’t far from my nose. What did I smell? Absolutely nothing. The air freshener smells great when you have the dickie bag open and when closed I couldn’t smell it. It’s great there’s no artificial fragrance following you around.
I have two small dogs who pooh a lot when they’re excited so I went for a large dickie bag which seems perfect for a day out having adventures. I’m really glad I bought it and I’m debating a treat bag upgrade as well.
