Works Just Dandy For Me,
I’ve had the medium / green Alps stuff sack about 6 months now. I backpack almost every weekend. When backpacking, I can easily fit my 0 Degree synthetic sleeping bag, fleece liner, compression pillow & when anticipating an exceptionally cold night, a fleece turtleneck & heavy socks. It could easily handle more but it’s a matter of getting all that into the sleeping bag pocket in my backpack. When going on multi-night trips, I use Spacebags for clothes, gloves, etc because I can see thru. I carry a superbig spacebag in my pack in case my compression bag fails (i also use it as my “bear bag” with food etc when in bear territory…)
I like the zippered section on top – I put my ear plugs, lip balm & an extra small flashlight in it – those little things easily lost.
I am looking around for a 2nd compression bag for my ultralight tent and noticed a lot of people complaining about compression bags failing the first time they used it. A hint… pull a little bit on each strap, keep working your way around it. When getting to the “last time around”, a technique I learned is to put top against the edge of something, like a picnic table, put your body against other end, push in and gently pull each of the straps. And be realistic – you are not going to get a sleeping bag compressed into the size of a marshmallow.

|Serious compression,
Use this on my 0 degree Crescent Lake. Knocks the diameter down from 12″ to 9″. Even more if I really work at it. I pack my bag inside the stuff sack it came with, then slide it into the cyclone and work it down a little at a time.
Makes 0 and <0 bags a lot more packable. Out of every compression bag I could find, this one is by far the best design.
If I could change one thing, it would be to have the horizontal nylon webbing go all the way around. It would add weight, but also durability. Even so it’s strong, well made, easy to use, and functions flawlessly. Alps backs it with a lifetime guarantee.

|Sleeping bags that are made from cotton are the best since they retain heat and warmth at a longer time compared to synthetic fibers. “,*,’
