What compression sacks are you guys using for sleeping bag and other gear?

Outdoor research, I like it. I got the roll top one and it works great so far.

Sea to Summit event for my down bag and inexpensive Kelty for the rest of my stuff.

I picked up a zpack cuben fiber roll top the other day, so far very impressed with it.

Sea to Summit event bag for clothing and gear. Kifaru 5 string stuff sack for sleeping bag and bivy. OR compression bag for Kifaru Tipi, pole and pegs.

Sea to summit compression sack for bag and pillow. KUIU dry bags for clothes and food. Happy with both...

I have a Kifaru 5 string compression sack. I like the fact that you do not end up with a round ball in your pack. The sack compresses around the diameter of the sack instead of from end to end. The only thing I do not like is that the sack is not water proof like a event sack.

I use a variety, Kifaru compression sacks are nice for the shape they end up in. Granite Gear, and Sea to Summit make some nice ones as well.

I prefer the kifaru 5 string

I've got a Granite Gear 25l that is waterproof and compression. It works great

kifaru stuff sacks are nice for the shape they end up, i hate the bowling ball shape you get with others. dont believe the web site though when it says pull as hard as you want on those strings.ive broke two, i am wicked buff though. im also going to pick up a z packs one to try out this year. ive heard good things about them.

littlebuf, if Kifaru replace or repair your stuff sacks for you? I am just curious if they took care of you, I have not heard of anyone having any issues with their Kifaur equipment.

 

[littlebuf]

yeah the first time i did it they sent me a new one. the second time i broke one i just tied some new cord in place of the one i broke. they use shock cord,if they could use true 550 cord it would be bomb proof. but i imagine those little line clamps (or what ever the right name for them is) dont come that small, so i keep some extra shock cord around for the next time i break one.no big, i know how to tie a knot

i am wicked buff though. .

i was under the impression you were only a little buff...?

i dont like to make everyone else on the internet self conscious. its my public service

I have a couple different sizes of the Sea to Summit Event bags and really like them, also have the Kifaru 5 string, it's okay, but too expensive.

Solid post. Definitely some things in there I am going to try.
