Useful, flexible shape I bought the 20L for my Nemo down sleeping bag, but it did not compress it much smaller than the stuff sack that came with it. I ended up purchasing a 14L compression dry sack instead for my sleeping bag, and will use this for clothing maybe? But itâs well made and I like that the vacuum seal lets you squeeze/shape the bag to fit in your pack – as opposed to just a hard awkward ball in your pack like traditional compression sacks.
It has held up admirably and proven reliable for 5+ years now. Have two 20L that I use for my two 2p backpacking tents. Fits the tent, rain fly, ground cloth, and trekking pole vestibule (when weight is not a concern) with room to spare. When a bear box is not available we usually toss our food in an odor-barrier bag, stuff it in this and hang it in a tree. Have not had an issue yet and everything stays dry. Thankfully haven’t given it a true test like an unwanted dunk in a river, but it has held up admirably and proven reliable for 5+ years now. No reason…
Great bag, compressed well and kept dry through a lot of punishment. This bag held my tent and sleeping bag, compressed to 1/2 of their standard volume. After flooding, full submersion, rain, and mud, they were always dry at the end of the day.The compression can be a bit awkward, and the bag doesn’t help you out too much to ensure that the top and bottom caps are fully extended and envelope the contents. It’s not a hard problem to fix, but it can get a bit tedious after a few repacks.
