compression sack

Gear-shrinking stuff bag

A compression sack is a bag with straps or a mechanism that squeezes contents into a smaller volume, typically used for sleeping bags, clothing, or other soft gear when backpacking or traveling.

The straps cinch down to force air out and compact the material: I stuffed my down jacket into the compression sack to save space.
