REDCAMP Nylon Compression Stuff Sack, 10L/17L/27L/40L Lightweight Sleeping Bag Compression Sack Great for Backpacking, Hiking and Camping,Blue/Yellow/Army Green/Black

This is a really great compression sack at a really great price. I've been using stuff sacks and compression sacks for a couple of decades now, and there aren't a whole lot of areas to differentiate. This one adds a couple of useful features: The zippered top pouch and the buckles.The bag's overall construction seems reasonably solid and it is possible to get good tight compression on a lightweight sleeping bag. The fabric and seams are surprisingly waterproof—water beads right up and runs off outside of the bag, and I tried submerging a portion of the bag and the inside stayed dry. Obviously, this is not a dry bag (it's got a drawstring closure leaving a hole on top) but is still perfect for keeping the contents safe from rain. The buckles on two of the compression snaps make it a lot easier to open and close the bag.My favorite feature, however, is probably the zippered pouch on top. It's a great place to stash small things, and in my case, it turns out to be the perfect size to stuff my inflatable backpacking pillow. The main portion of the bag fits a lightweight sleeping system perfectly with room to spare.Overall, great compression sack at a great price.

I have had this compression sack for almost 5 years. It's been with me on backpacking trips and well as motorcycle camping trips. It fits my Kelty Tuck 22 degree synthetic fill bag perfectly. Definitely recommend.

The XXL stuff sack is a good color green, and very large - it fits a queen size comforter. The 1st stuff sack recieved was defective, with the straps sewn in twisted and pulling apart. We wrote an appropriate review. Redcamp contacted us soon after, and shipped a replacement stuff sack. The new one is great, no problems, strong and sewn well. Thanks for making it right Redcamp!

This is a large compression sack that fit my military intermediate sleeping bag quite well, it is light but feels durable and all the stitching looks to be high quality.

I purchased an XL sleeping bag that came with a bag but the sleeping bag would never fit back into it. I ended up buying this bag to be able to pack it up and found it makes carrying the bag much easier and is a space-saver.

Sturdy straps really did a great job of compressing my sleeping bag to fit in my motorcycle bags.

Made this purchase for a used high-qual sleeping bag I got with no stuff sack. Very grateful it fit in the size Large. Looks and feels sturdy! Can’t wait to test it out camping.

I bought this sack for my USGI Intermediate Cold Weather Sleeping Bag made by Tennier. It's the older, bulkier style with the cotton (?) shell, not the newer (Improved)MSS bags with the ripstop nylon shell.The sleeping bag fills this sack with enough air/looseness for compression. It compresses from 27" down to about 17".The ripstop nylon doesn't scream heavy duty and bulletproof, but it seems adequate enough. Only time will tell if the fabric, stitches, seams, and straps will hold up to the constant tugging and pulling.Generally, failures on compression sacks are with fabric seams, stitches, stitch threads, and especially the tearing of the ripstop nylon fabric where the ends of the compression straps are stitched on. The last being the MAJOR stress point.To avoid premature---but inevitable---tearing at those MAJOR stress points, DON'T YANK the straps to compress BEFORE compression. First, squeeze the sack to compress, then pull the straps to cinch up the slack that was created from the compression. When you tug on the strap before compression, in that instance, you're magnifying, concentrating, and localizing the shearing force/load on that MAJOR stress point, which makes that weak point even more vulnerable to tearing from the forceful jolt. It mitigates the tearing risk when there are 2 rows of stitches instead of 1, but it's still a weak spot.Think of it this way, if you have a line rated for 10 pounds, you can lift/suspend a weight up to 10 pounds. But, when that 10 pound weight is on the ground and you yank that line to lift the weight, the thread will snap. In that moment when you yanked, the force/energy exceeded the rating for that 10 pound line. The weight didn't increase; it's still 10 pounds.Also, it's better to order a bag that's too large than too small. Remember, these are COMPRESSION sacks. The emphasis is on COMPRession. You can't compress a bag full of sand. You either need material that's soft and fluffy/spongy or material with "trapped" air for compression sacks to work.In my case, I probably could have purchased a 27 liter sack instead of the 40 liter and managed to force my sleeping bag in the smaller sack by compressing it as I'm stuffing. But, it's more time consuming and more frustrating than loosely stuffing my sleeping bag quickly and easily into the 40 liter sack, then compressing it down to 27 liters with the aid of the straps.The price for this 40 liter sack in GREEN was a much better value than competitors' similarly sized compression sacks. It was $5 to $7 less.I'm happy with the purchase.*** EDIT ***I just noticed a "mistake/defect" that escaped me when I wrote the above review a few days ago.The compression straps are installed in the wrong positions: - Look at the manufacturer's pictures of the GREEN sack. Note that the straps are positioned at the CORNERS of the rectangular covers. (Remember that with the GREEN sack, unlike the other colors, the covers have a rectangular shape. All of the other colors have round covers.) The sack I received has straps positioned in the MIDDLE of each side at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock---not the CORNERS of each side.- The handle strap on the bottom of the sack, as seen in Redcamp's pictures, runs north-south and bisects the rectangular cover. In the same pictures, correctly installed compression straps can be seen positioned on the 2 left corners (7:30ish and 10:30ish) and 2 right corners (1:30ish and 4:30ish) of the rectangular cover.On the one I received, the straps with quick connects extend out from the ends of the carry handle. So, relative to the north-south carry handle, the compression straps continue longitudinally from the ends of the carry handle. (Compare strap positions in their pictures with my pictures.)- The quick connect buckles are attached cross-cover on straps at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. They should be side-by-side, next to each other, not across from each other. Side-by-side allows you to pull the cover over from one side to the other, then attach the quick connect buckles.Will the above "mistake/defect" make a difference?- The quick connects not being side-by-side would because you will need to "top" the cover over first, then attach the quick connect buckles, then compress. If the sack is stuffed to the max, this SNAFU makes it more difficult to position the cover before compressing. It can be done; just takes more time.- In my mind, the wrong positions of the straps will make a big difference. By being in the middle of each side, the stress/load is focused onto the stitched end of that single strap. If the straps were installed correctly at the corners, the compression stress/load on each side would be distributed and shared across 2 straps. So, with a given load distributed and shared over 2 straps, there is less stress on the seams/stitches/fabric on those 2 straps than the same stress/load being handled by a single strap. So, the ripstop nylon fabric that 2 straps are stitched to should last longer than if it had only one strap.So are these SNAFUs why the GREEN sacks are the least expensive? Considered 'factory seconds,' 'blems'?(My pictures were not being displayed in the sequence that they were uploaded. I attempted to correct it by re-editing and reloading a couple of times, but with no success. I'll try to decode the randomization and try one last time. If my code breaking fails... The 2 pictures with only the GREEN sack correspond with my descriptions for the 'first and second pictures.' For the remaining pictures, use your deductive reasoning to match the pictures to their corresponding descriptions.)My first and second pictures show the factory SNAFUs of the wrong positions of the straps and quick connect buckles on the GREEN X-Large 40 liter compression sack.The remaining pictures are of USGI Intermediate Cold Weather Sleeping Bags stuffed in the GREEN and ORANGE X-Large 40 liter compression sacks.Pictures 3 and 4 show the lightly stuffed (pre-compression) sacks with the straps extended to maximum length. Note that both sacks are about 27" tall.Picture 5 shows the UNcompressed GREEN sack and the COMPRESSED ORANGE sack. The compression of the ORANGE sack reduced the height by 10": 27" to 17". (I could have compressed it another inch or two, but at what cost? The additional pressure/stress on the stitches and fabric would contribute to premature failure/tear.)Picture 6 shows both sacks compressed.Picture 7 shows the compressed ORANGE next to the unfurled sleeping bag.Now some storage advice...Only COMPRESS your sleeping bag ON your camping trip(s). At the end of the trip/season, place the UNcompressed (or lightly compressed) bag in a large bag, breathable cotton or mesh, and store indoor in dry environment and comfortable temperature.If you store it COMPRESSED for an extended period, the fill material, be it natural down or polyester, will develop a memory in the crushed/de-lofted condition and its performance will suffer. When it's crushed into less volume, there's less air "trapped" between the fill material. Less air = less insulation = less heat retention. MORE air = MORE insulation = MORE heat retention.During daylight hours on your camping trips, unzip the bag and turn it inside out and allow it to dry. After each trip, dry bag well, both inside and out to prevent mold/mildew/odor from taking hold.At the end of the season, you may want to wash (follow manufacturer's instruction) the bag, then dry thoroughly before storing.If you have a $$$ bag, especially down, consider a sleeping bag liner. You can wash just the liner, not the bag. It also reduces the wear and tear on your expensive bag.Liners come in many, soft fabrics: cotton, cotton/polyester blend, polyester, bamboo, silk, fleece, flannel, etc. (I hate the plasticky, slick feel of nylon shells on some bags, so a soft liner is a must for me .)Happy camping...

Este saco es mucho más económico que otros que he visto en tiendas, y la verdad cumple con su función.

La tela es un poco delgada pero el sleeping bag es muy grande y cupo perfecto y muy fácil de guardarla.

La grandeur est bonne, mais il est arrivé tâché.

Perfect for my heavy sleeping bag. The large fits one half of my queen size sleeping bag. It's nice to be able to only take one half of it while camping by myself

It would need to be stronger to be able to compact properly.
