SunCatcher	06/01/2012 04:06PM I have a compression sack for sleeping bag. One very small one for socks and undies. and one for other clothes. SunCatcher
BWPaddler	06/01/2012 04:01PM I like to get a bigger stuff bag and compress even clothing or other soft packables if I have extra room above my sleeping bag.
bpaddle	06/01/2012 03:21PM I know there are some companies that make waterproof compression sacks (Outdoor Research and Sea to Summit are ones that I know about). The size you need will depend on what your bag is filled with (down or synthetic insulation). I am not sure what size I use, but it is either a 5L or 7L for my down bag.
kanoes	06/01/2012 03:02PM if you can, take your sleeping bag to a store that carries compression sacks and start stuffing. its the only way to know what size will work best.
2rookies	06/01/2012 02:10PM I want to purchase a waterproof stuff sack for my sleeping bag and clothes. My sleeping bag is about 72 inches and I do not plan on bringing many clothes. Will a 10 liter bag be big enough? Should I go to a 5 liter bag? Any advice would be appreciated.
