Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
Ok, so I've now purchased MANY different types of dry sacks for my clothes for camping purposes. This is by far the easiest and most durable one yet! I've included it in everything I do that pertains to transporting clothes in my fault life. I've even let my 7 year old daughter use it on sleep overs at friends houses because of all the "necessities" she likes to bring. There is honestly not one problem with this piece of equipment. I've completely submerged it in water, and Viola! Clothes are dry as a bone! It compresses so easily after folding it, that I usually reps it to get the little extra air out. My clothes even come out just as I placed them, creases and all.

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
I have this bag in the 13L, 20L, and 35L sizes. I use them mostly for travel (haven't tried air travel yet) instead of packing cubes. Several days worth of casual clothes fit in a 25L and many changes of "unders" in a 13L. Once the air is compressed out there's a noticable volume decrease. For what it's worth, the 13L bag will fit an ENO DoubleNest hammock, ENO Guardian bug net, ENO ProFly, suspension lines and tent stakes with some room to spare.

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
Great dry sack...much better than the ultra-sil ones. These seem much more durable and I like the venting system.
**Please note that some of them vent MUCH slower than others. Test them in the store if you can...I've used a few that apparently have closed pores and really don't vent much at all (even under high pressure). If I had gotten one of those, I'd have to give it 3 or 4 stars but since I eliminated the 'bad apples' in the store...I am left with a simply amazing product.

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
I got this to put my down sleeping bag in and it does the trick. it keeps it nice and dry as well and compress it in to a small bundle that fits easily into the sleeping bag compartment in My pack. You need to put a little weight into it to get the air out up as it has been said kneeling on it will work just fine.
I am going to get another one to keep clothes and other things I need to keep dry

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
This is easily the best dry sack that I own. When I'm not using it to store gear, I put my essentials in it, and use it as a carrying sack wherever I go. When it's time to pack up, this thing will fit most of my clothes in it, then easily slips into my backpack. I would highly recommend this!

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
This stuff sack is very compressible, and very easy to load. After loading it in the morning, I simply sit on it for a few moments until all of the air escapes. The stitching on it seems to be very strong along with the fabric. I would definitely recommend getting this product over many other stuff sacks

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
I purchased this product and a compression sack from the same manufacturer on the recommendation of REI staff. I have not been disappointed. The compression sack is for my sleeping bag. This sack holds my clothes. Pressing out the air really saves space; real estate is premium on a motorcycle. This bag has held up superbly through 4 x 5000+ mile rides in the past year.
On my latest journey I arrived in late evening during a deluge of a rainstorm. I hastily got my tent up and settled in. I realized in the morning that I hadn't brought in my clothes. This sack was on the ground next to my bike, lying down and mostly submerged. A quick inspection found all the contents dry. I wasn't too surprised as this and the compression sack are both strapped on the passenger seat and easily endure the elements for thousands of miles.
I am now purchasing another to hold my winter riding gear. I highly recommend this product and the compression sack.

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
I purchased these at a time where they came in two colors, gold, and blue.
One, compresses my clothes, the other is for dirty clothes. The color coding helps to delineate the content of the bag.
As been previously mentioned, it makes for a great pillow...I used to use my boots!
The formula for quickly removing the air, is as follows: squeeze the bag just ahead of where your clothes leave an airspace, then roll down, and lock the clasp.
Place the bag on the ground, and kneel on it with both knees. If you are using a large bag, then shift your position, until the air is expended.
For me, about 15 seconds, no sweat.

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
Used this on a 7 day backpacking trip through Yosemite.
I was able to place all of my clothes in it and compress it down to a nice size that would fit in my frame pack and still give me enough room for other needed items.
It was also convenient when setting up camp at night to toss the sack into the tent to use as a pillow at night and to have my clothes handy (and warm) the next morning.
Only complaint, which is minor, is that it took some time (maybe 30 seconds to a minute) to push all of the air out to compress it.
This sack will accompany me on all future backpacking trips.

Comments about Sea to Summit eVAC Dry Sack:
Another reviewer said this dry sack doesn't compress as promised, but I say that's totally untrue! It does require a bit of effort, but I've used this dry sack for 3.5 years now and it always compresses really well.
I carry my down sleeping bag and silk liner in it. After securing the roll top, I lay it on the floor of my tent and kneel on top of it. I can get it so flat that I actually worry about compressing the down in my sleeping bag too much.
I haven't given its water resistance much of a test, but I spilled a fair amount of water on it once and there wasn't a hint of moisure inside the sack afterward. In my opinion, this is a great product!
