Compression Bag for Kelvin Aerolite 30 Sleeping Bag

[wayoh22]

Has anyone thrown a Kelvin Aerolite 30 Sleeping Bag into a compression bag? If so, what size compression bag. I'm assuming 20L should do the trick but wanted to ask before I make a purchase.

Why not just keep it in a dry bag and let it take some extra volume in the pack?

Kifaru 5 string compression works for most things.

Stuff it in the bottom of your pack and be done with it. Takes up the space well, instead of putting a stuff sack in there and trying to fit things around it. A 20L stuff sack is huge btw.

The problem I have is how huge the bag it comes in huge. I get I can just shove it in there but I'd rather put it in a dry, compressible bag to bring the size down somewhat.

The sack it comes is definitely oversized. If I were you id grab a cheap osprey dry bag and shove it in like some other folks have said

That's the plan. Just wanted to see if anyone knew if a 5L, 10L, or 20L bag would be best
