compression sacks

Gear-shrinking travel bags

Compression sacks are stuff sacks with straps or mechanisms that squeeze contents into a smaller volume, typically used for sleeping bags, clothing, or other compressible gear.

The straps cinch down around the outside, forcing air out and reducing bulk: I got my sleeping bag into a compression sack half its normal size.

Essential for backpackers managing limited pack space.
