Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
I bought this compression sack for my down sleeping bag because I needed to keep it dry. This does the job better than anything else in it's class. Recently, I was setting up camp on top of a large waterfall. I accidentally kicked this sack, packed with my brand new sleeping bag into the river and watched horrified as it went tumbling off the waterfall. It took at least 15 minutes to get to the bottom to retrieve it, and it was stuck directly under the fall the whole time! To my great surprise, (and relief) my sleeping bag emerged from the sack BONE DRY. This product is well worth your money!

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
Everything about this bag is perfect. Spend the extra duckets and get this bag over all others, after ripping 3 REI sacks with minimal tugging on the straps i was skeptical. Then after i got my bag in, rolled down the top, i started yanking on the straps. Not, a single sign of stress. So, i decided to see if i could break it, after repeated kicks and slammings on the ground i got nothing. I broke before this bag.

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
I can't say enough about this product. I bought one just to check it out one rafting season. Now it is one of the most important pieces of gear I own. Super light, compressable, watertight, etc., etc. I am replacing all my dry bags with these. If you have something that needs to be small and dry - use these bags! Two cool uses I have found for this bag - use as a camp shower and dry bear bag for food (hung in tree of course, its not kevlar - lol). Oh yeah, I take one in my suitcase when traveling. Put all the compressable stuff in socks, underwear, towels, fleece, etc. then just sit on it and pull the straps tight. It saves a ton of space. And when you are going home do the same thing with all your dirty clothes and presto - you have enough room for all the new stuff you just bought! Its a vacuum Space Bag without the vacuum!!!

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
This was the greatest waterproof compact bag ever. After a week in the backcountry with rain & everything else in my pack stinking, this bag was dry & all of it's contents smelled like they just came out the laundry.

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
It truly doesn't get any better than this. I use mine for my Marmot Lime-lite 3 tent, keeps it dry and secure. It also saves a ton a pack space and helps keep my pack organized. I plan on buying several more to store my clothes and sleeping bag in. This has been one of the few pieces of gear that I have had zero problems with.

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
I've had this bag for over a year now and take it on all my trips. It's kept things dry through multiple dunkings, fabric survived being repeatedly tossed into and out of canoes for portages. It's gotten a bit dirty, but that's hardly a problem.
Compresses things well, I've used it for both clothing and my winter sleeping bag and liner. Keeps stuff dry and compact, and I like the shape: other dry bags I've used were taller or fatter, didn't fit as well in my pack.
Great bag overall, if I need more dry bags, I'll be looking for Sea to Summit.

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
Like many of you out there, I am constantly looking for ways to make more room in my pack. This product is amazing. I have one for my tent, and one that I keep my clothes in. It's waterproof... nuff said on that. The compression is SO awesome. I have a two man tent that used to be a little bulky. I can now get it down to the size of a football. I like to kneel on the sack and pull the straps up. These would be really great for general travel too... They are pricey, but worth it!

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
For me, what sets this compression sack apart is the eVent (better than Gore-Tex in my opinion). Wen you compress your sack, it allows air to escape through the material for compact storage, while keeping moisture out.
I used this on a 40+ day bicycle tour, and it kept my essentials dry, and compact throughout.

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
I was considering buying a nice 3 season sleeping bag that would pack small and tight into my backpack; but then I found this and it took my 0 degree bag and squished it down tight enough for me to fit just fine. This thing is durable, water tight, and packs great!

Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:
I've owned this compression dry sack for 6 months and it's already been on a few weekend backpacking trips! It takes in my sleeping bag, warm clothes and socks and compresses down to the size of a big cantaloupe. The compression ratio isn't the only attraction, it's the secure feeling through snow and rain (and there were a couple of those) that the essentials stay bone dry! It is a tad steep but I have a feeling it will pay for itself over the long term.
