By Wilbur from Grand Junction, Co on 09/01/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy to pack Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Survival, Winter Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great for backpacking, or for extra stuff on that long day hike/ski. Take extra fleece, rain gear etc. without the extra bulk. I have three different sizes of these sack.
By RyboFlavin from Saint Louis, MO on 08/26/2009 Pros: Compact, Durable, Lightweight Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Day Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: it certainly does what it promises. The one dislike i have about it is it compresses not tall and skinny but short and fat. with a sleeping bag in it, it resembles a medicine ball. I've yet to take it in a pack but i can see this being an issue. good quality though, so far. I don't have enough experience with this piece of gear to really give it a just review, but by that time I'll forget so...
By Bobdog from Juneau, AK on 08/15/2009 Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Winter Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This would be good for a cold weather down bag or bulky clothing. It's a bit bigger than I expected, you could easily fit 2-3 down bags in it.
This is a fairly large sack. By kchida from LA on 08/02/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy to pack Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This bag was much bigger than I thought it would be. It easily fits my sleeping bag, bivy and clothes. For the price, this bag is very nice.

By Buck from Tampa Bay on 07/15/2009 Pros: Compact, Lightweight Best Uses: Backcountry Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It makes my alps -20 bag much more manageable. It definitely makes the diameter small enough to fit my army surplus duffel.
I now have room to bring my pillow! By -P from Northwestern WI on 07/01/2009 Pros: Compact, Durable, Good value, Lightweight Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Kayak camper, River Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: As stated, I'm a minimalist when camping out of my kayak, but who doesn't like comfort whenever possible? I purchased this for making my sleeping bag more compact when packing it into my kayak. I not only fit my sleeping bag in this size Lg cmp.sack, I also fit a travel pillow in as well. First time ever I was able to bring a pillow out into the bush! What a difference it made for sleeping. Both compacted to a smaller size compared to just my sleeping bag packed normally. Great piece of gear!
I'm not sure if the cmp.sack is waterproof, but it is water repellant. For anyone who uses dry bags, here is an idea:
I actually packed my sleeping bag and pillow into a dry bag (the kind with a valve). Closed the top & I left the valve open. I then put the dry bag inside the cmp.sack, upside down with the valve at the top and sticking just out of the top & side of the cmp.sack cover. As I pulled the straps to compress the sack, air would still come out of the dry bag as well. When compressed to the smallest I could, I then closed the valve (this makes the dry sack air tight). Then tuck the valve back up inside if you want to get it out of the way. Happy camping everyone!

Overall a good stuff sack By SRock from Mechanicsburg, PA on 06/30/2009 Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy to pack, Lightweight Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Day Trips, River Trips, Road Trips, Survival, Winter Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I was able to fit my Marmot 2p tent, tent footprint, regular size sleeping pad and my sleeping bag all in this sack. Once you pull the compression straps, you're good to go. The only con, for me, is that the top section that has the nylon straps can get a little tangled up. No biggie...
I am very happy with my purchase...
Better than a trash compactor!
