Sea to Summit eVENT Compression Dry Sack

I use these to compress goose down sleeping bags for backpacking. They compress down as small as you like, squeezing the air out of the yellow e-vent panel on the bottom, and yet they are completely waterproof, ...and yet breathable so things can still dry out inside them. Genius. The roll-top closure clips together under the compression lid and keeps water out successfully.I also use one to pack a tent into. The poles and pegs go separately in my rucksack and the tent inner and flysheet get stuffed in one of these. (Stuffed - not folded.) It's brilliant because a wet tent can't then make anything else wet inside my rucksack. Plus, the tent then takes up less space. I've got it down to a fine art now, and my complete backpacking gear, including clothes, 2 person tent, mountain sleeping bag good for about -5 degrees or so - everything except food and water in fact - will fit into a rucksack which I can fold down small enough to take on a Ryanair flight as cabin baggage. No need for luggage in the hold at all. These E-vent compression sacks help make that possible. Not the absolute lightest compression sacks available but strong and dependable and light enough. I had a Life Venture compression sack rip open on one trip. Really annoying. These are strong. Don't drag them over sharp rocks if you want them to stay waterproof of course, but you can tug on the straps as hard as you like and jump up and down on them with big boots without them bursting. (Well, to be honest, if I'm tightening them up to extremes then I'll turn them upside down, put the weight of my chest on the bottom end to compress them and pull the straps to take up the slack - just to be on the safe side.)Very good. Not cheap but really excellent and worth every penny.

I needed a compression bag to put my sleeping bag in for bikepacking. U sure if the sizing, I purchased an S and XS size. I have found that I can pack my Rab Ascent 500 down sleeping bag into the XS with minimal effort and can compress it down slightly further. I wouldn’t recommend storing a sleeping bag in it, but for storage/compression whilst you’re on the move it seems ideal. Can’t comment on how waterproof the bag is, as yet it is untested, but on the face of it, looks well made and the seams are taped inside. It is pricey for what it is, but if it keeps my sleeping bag dry and stands the test of time it will have been money well spent. I was going to send the size S back, but have decided to keep it for use with other kit…despite the cost. Pleased so far…

Absolutely amazing, it has made my underquilt bag which was kinda big now into the size of my hand, I’ve bought another one now for my winter sleeping bag, the compression straps make it so easy to push the air out of the e-vent , the quality feels good. Of course I wouldn’t put anything sharp in there though. It only weighs about 100g for the XS too

It began its travels with me cycling down England, in Janury 2013, on the back of my bike. Then withstood 2 months in Morocco. Since then it has been away on 100+ camping trips, in countless amounts of rain and mud.Pros: - I use it to hold my down sleeping bag and maybe the odd piece of clothing, for which the size medium is ample. - You can pull the straps tight to compress it, which can be better or worse depending how much is inside. - Fully watertight if you seal it properly. - Repairs can be made with GAFFA tapeCons: - When I first bought it I tried to squeeze my sleeping bag in in its case, but that ripped the side a little (see photos). I repaired with some GAFFA tape and it's still going strong. (This was my own fault anyway for trying to put my sleeping bag in in its other case. Best way is just to STUFF clothing or sleeping bags inside.)I don't do many reviews, but this piece of equipment has just been so useful I had to. I've got more than my moneys worth for it :)FYI in the photos I had two jumpers and a big towel inside.

Purchased this for my 4 season sleeping bag. Appears to be of a good quality and pretty much does what it says on the tin. I’m addition, design has a replaceable buckle, thus should this break after a lot of use, can be easily fixed.Seller was prompt with delivery, arriving a few days before the expected delivery date.

Absolutely amazing bit if kit. I brought this for DOFE gold and it fits my highlander 4 season sleeping bag no problem and this in turn fits very well into my osprey 70l bag. In terms of water proofing super impressed pit it in the bath and turned the shower head on and left it for a minute and I was worried but sleeping bag was dry inside. Although its expensive for one piece of kit yes I would recommend you pitches this as it will save your life in the inevitable future especially for any hikers out there as we all know how much the weather can change and how quickly as well.

I use dry sacks a lot on my hikes and kayak trips. These compression sacks are awesome since they utilise event fabrics and also because they are heavy duty. If you plan to use these for your sleeping bag I could hint that S size (10-3.3 litre) seems to be same size as the Mammut's XS compression sack which is used with their most smallest packing sleeping bags. I feel that the Sea to Summit Event Compression Dry Sack has a bit more traction inside the sack so that it's not as easy to stuff the sleeping bag in to the sack as it would be for the sleeping bags own sack. If you're looking for ultralight compression sacks which doesn't have to be as tough as Sea to Summit's sack I recommend Granite Gear's Event Sil Compression sacks. If you want to have the sack that you can trust on I recommend warmly these Sea to Summit's Event Compression sacks. Only thing I am missing is different colours since colour coded sacks do help in organising your gear.

Excellent product! Just too big for my specific purposes. I’m not going to send it back though, I’ll use it and it’s amazing!

Sea to summit makes the best gear! I use this for my clothing while hiking. I can fit 5 (summer) outfits in here easily, plus tons of extra socks. So I'm opening and closing it several times a day. It still looks brand new!Everyone who thru hikes need to get one of these for this clothing. To know your clothes will always be dry is a great feeling to have out there. Plus they take up so much less space in your bag too!!I highly recommend this brand, see it being used: Megan S. Hiking with a purpose, on youtube.i am.going to order a 2nd for my son who hike with me.

Ótima qualidade, resistência e com acabamento de excelência oferecendo segurança e conforto para suas aventuras!!

Molto pratica, la uso per mettere il piumino dentro lo zaino.Le cinghie di compressione funzionano bene facendo ridurre al minimo il volume.Ottima costruzione e materiali.

Habe wasserdichte Segeljacke und- latzhose darin untergebracht. Perfekt, um Platz im Gepäck zu sparen.

Ist es normal dass der Sack sich nach dem rausdrücken der Luft wieder mit Luft füllt ohne die Gurte ?Mein Sack ohne Gurte bleibt klein
