Doesn’t everyone sit on their suitcase before they give it that final zip-up before a flight? With one of these compression bags, you have the choice of being able to close it more easily or still having to sit on it but at least being able to cram even more stuff in there. The seller states that you can reduce the volumes of a sleeping bag placed in one of these handy bags by 40%. I'd say that's about right. For other items the compression can vary quite a bit. Obviously if you were to put rocks in it, there would be no compression at all. If you put in a winter parka made with 100% down or a down sleeping bag, you’ll do better than 40% compression. Putting your fluffiest items in there is the key to really maximizing these compression bags’ usefulness.These bags are very reasonably priced but they are well-designed, they use premium materials, and they have been manufactured with care. The nylon fabric is lightweight and quite compact yet more than strong enough to stand up to having a great deal of pressure applied to it. The straps are far stronger than what is needed but it does give a feeling of confidence that your compression bag will never fail you. The top is attached so you’ll never lose it- even I’LL never lose it! The real beauty of these bags is how easily your items will compress using the system that they have. Two bonuses I love are the carrying strap on the bottom and the compartment for a few small items on the top.If you’ve booked a ticket lately on one of those super-discount airlines, you may have paid more for your carry-on plus one regular-sized suitcase to fly than you paid for yourself to arrive at your destination! (That’s how these airlines make their money.) I love to travel, so given the same transportation budget, I’d rather visit a far-flung family member twice rather than only once. I have therefore traded in my take-everything-you-can-possibly-need strategy for a minimalist approach. Airlines will not charge you for what they call a ‘personal item’. This varies in size from airline to airline, but they are basically the size of a briefcase, a large woman’s purse, or a SMALL knapsack. That’s where this compression bag comes in really handy. Stuff all of your fluffiest items in there and you’ll really appreciate all the extra room you’ll have. If you are staying in one place for a while, use the bag uncompressed for your dirty laundry.My bag is the 13 litre size so I was concerned that it would be too small to be really useful. I was wrong, though. It’s fantastic!

I ordered a sleeping bag and didn't realise it didn't come with a compression sack. It just had a drawstring bag and I thought I could get by with it but the sleeping bag was large and took up too much space when just in the bag. For that reason I ordered this compression sack.The bag I have is quite large and I made a small mistake by ordering the smallest 13L sack. I probably should have ordered the 20L but I was impressed that with a bit of pressing and shoving my large sleeping bag does fit into this small sack. It doesn't compress down much more but it does make the bag a lot smaller when carrying it around.The only complaint I have is with the straps. Keeping in mind I should have ordered a larger size putting in a large sleeping bag highlighted that the clips are a little weak and can pop open if too much pressure is applied. That’s better than having them crack but I do wish they were a little stronger and held just a little better. Something similar applies to the pull straps. When fully extended the strap almost slides out, the standard thick fold at the end of the strap isn't quite thick enough and could slip through if you don't pay attention. Now those are both small issues but something to keep in mind when using the sackMake sure you order a large enough sack for the sleeping bag you have and this is a good sack. Even if you order one that’s too small you’ll probably make it work like I did.

I have a lightweight mummy-bag style sleep sack I sourced used from the Amazon Marketplace a few years ago that I really like to take on portage trips where space and weight are an issue. Because I sourced my bag used the carry case used to travel with it was not in excellent condition, so I knew I'd eventually need to replace it with something better.This compression sack fit the bill perfectly, having more than enough room for me to spiral pack my equipment and cinch the whole thing down nice and secure. Like with any compression sack there is a technique to tightening these things down so that the seams are secure and even all around: pressing down on it to create slack and circling around the sack while pulling the straps taught before releasing the compression. Doing this will keep any decently constructed compressor from ripping the first time you try and cinch it! This one handled the activity perfectly, both at home and in the wild.

Decent but didn’t last long with daily use with my sleeping bag.

This compression sack is a great solution for compressing things down to save space. It works best with fluffy things like big sweaters and sleeping bags. It is somewhat limited in how much it can compress compared to the kind that just use straps all the way around. So you'll get the most out of it if you pack it down as much as you can before using the straps to get the extra compression. It is just a single line of regular stitching on all the seams but it does seem to be holding together okay (will update if they ever give out).Overall, it's a handy thing to have, compression is a bit limited but much better than packing cubes.
