Reviewed by kayakmichael from Roatan, Honduras on Tuesday, April 16, 2013A little complex with its lattice of cord, but still works well at making things smaller.

Reviewed by Captain Lee from East Coast Mountains & Ocean on Wednesday, February 06, 2013This looked a little different, but the price was cheap, so decided to give it a try. Can't have too many stuff sacks when trying to organize a big load. Definitely works, although you end up with a LOT of extra cord after compressing. The cord stuffs into a little pocket on top of the compression sack, however. If you are a true minimalist, looking to save every oz, you probably don't even believe in using these things, but for the rest of us, this is a very lightweight, useful little piece of gear, and seems lighter than the regular compression sacks I have, since the cord is lighter than bigger straps, and their is no extra material needed for "caps" at both ends.

Reviewed by greytneighbor from DC Metro Area on Wednesday, January 16, 2013Bought this to use with a (small down) sleeping bag that didn't come with a compression sack. It works well and is a quality product. The only suggestion I could make would be to make the opening of the sack just a little larger in circumference and deduct a little from the height. Other than that its a good sack for the price and I expect it will last a long time.

Reviewed by Sticklady from New England on Friday, January 11, 2013I do not understand the negative review. Maybe there are better products, but for what I wanted this will be very good. I wanted a compression sack for my big puffy down jacket that I will keep in my pack while hiking. I'll only wear the jacket when I stop for a while to eat or rest. It will take up much less room in my pack in this handy compression sack. It's very easy to use and I do not find it finicky at all.

Question “Would I get any benefit using this on a syn bag....or useful for down only due to its compress ability”
-
Answer It would compress you synthetic bag a bit more than just using a stuff sack, but it would not be near the compression you could get with a down bag.

Question “am looking at buying a sleeping bag for my twenty-five year old daughter for Christmas and read in sleeping bag reviews that others have bought a compression sack along with the bag and it has helped them when it comes to packing up the bag. How could that be? I'm not sure exactly what a compression sack does or how it works.||thanks for your help!”
-
Answer A compression sack has special straps to compress the bulk of its contents and make it easier for hikers and mountaineers to carry.
