The Granite Gear Round Rock Solid compresses sleeping bags, tents, down jackets, bivy sacks, fleece, climbing suits, rain gear, etc. Stuff it all! Reduce pack size and organize your load. Rock Solid Compression Sacks are built with a floating lid and arches to distribute stress, double stitched seams, and a bottom handle. Constructed with super light pack cloth, ¾” webbing, and a die cut hypalon grommet (versus metal), the Rock Solids allow ultra-light packers to carry an even smaller pack. They'll take whatever you can stuff. *Assorted colors.
These GG compression stuff sacks are the toughest you can get anywhere. Great for sleeping bags but especially clothing & other bulky items. Super strong components enables you to really cinch down the contents without worrying about breaking buckles, blowing out seams, or tearing the webbing. Bottom webbing handle allows easy removal of contents. Especially recommended when weight is not an issue.
I use a med. size for my winter bags and I can get my summer bag into a small. Even though you can squish the larger sizes down you get a large diameter pancake, so I prefer the smaller size for pack "space-management". I don't combine bags into 1 large sack for the same reason (i.e. I'd rather have 2 small tubes than 1 huge pancake).
The description doesn't say it, but the white inner coating seems to be very waterproof. This is a huge plus over other compression sacks I have. I hang my food in a small and during rain the stuff inside is dry. This makes it an ideal sack for sleeping bags (nothing worse than a wet sleeping bag).Sacks compress nicely with an easy to grab handle on the bottom. My only complaint is that the stitching holding the compression straps stretches more than I would like during a real squish...I have not had a rip, but I don't crank on the straps the way I do with another brand of sack.I'm a big fan of compression sacks and I use them for everything. Overall this is a great brand and when I need new ones (like today) I buy the Granite Gear.
So I just bought a couple Big Agnes Ripple Creek Sleeping Bag: 35 Degree Synthetic bags, and they don't have compression bags so I'm wondering what size I should get- the bags are pretty big
You could possibly use the medium but I'd get the large. Big Agnes recommends the 9"x20" size compression stuff sack which will give you a bit more room.
I bought the XS compression sack for my down sleeping bag. It's a tight squeeze to get it all in the bag before I even pull on the compression sacks--but it compresses super small even though the sack is filled to the brim. It's super helpful for those of us who have a tendency to overpack :)
Completely new to this and wondering if someone could help me figure out what size sack I need... needed for a rectangular sleeping bag that's rated 20 degrees and is 80x36. Thanks!
What brand are we talking about, or rather, what's the insulation like. If it's like my old discount special then it's a denser loft that doesn't compress all that well as with stuff sacks you're often literally stuffing the item in there at random orientations to keep from repeatedly folding one area every time. If it's a denser loft that "stuffing" action is going to be very difficult and it's going to be very bulky.
If it's one of the more modern techy lofts--Primaloft etc.--then you've got a good chance of using maybe the XL, MAYBE the L but I'm doubtful. When you scrunch or roll it up right now what kind of dimensions are we talking--if you roll it up, fold it in half first and then roll it TIGHT and get out a ruler.
This is a really nice compression sack. It is easy to get gear in and out, and the 4 straps allow great compression. One sack for my sleeping bag and one for my clothes/camping pillow, and I have twice the room in my pack that I had previously. Yes, when compressed down it forms a solid cube/ball, so packing around it (in your backpack) becomes a little more important. But for saving space, it really can't be beat. It is durable, and easy to compress and open.

These compression sacks are hands down the best ones that you will find out there! Very nice when organizing a backpack and lots of gear, and allows you to use up much much less space. Don't worry about them breaking either; very strong materials used to make these...
I ordered 2 large/2 small of these Granite Gear compression sacks and after a hard week in the backcountry these held up great! I have a pretty luxurious Kelty 20-degree bag, and it fit in the large no problem. I ordered a small for my clothing & could probably have gone with an extra small. Excellent product
Your tent takes up about 846 cubic inches of packed size (as a 7" x 22" cylinder). Based on the cubic inch sizes of the compression sacks, I would say a medium would do nicely. You could probably do a small, but I'm lazy and would rather do just about anything else than spend time trying to stuff a tent (or anything, really) into a compression sack.
Granite Gear is the shiz! this compression sack is made of quality material that wont puncture if you drop it on rocks/sticks, etc.. A size small fits my Montbell Super Stretch Down 15degree long bag perfectly. I use them for my clothes and another for my tent as well, doing this makes packing a lot more compact and organized when backpacking. So worth the price$!
I have a Euieka Wild Basin 0 degree bag. The compression sack that came with is is too small. I purchased a granite Gear medium round rock solid bag and it is too small. What would you recommend?
What size sack should I get for a Mountainsmith Kodiak 0 sleeping bag? The stuff sack that came with it seems to be too small and so the seams are coming apart.
That Mtnsmith stuff sack will fit the bag. They just did a really poor job of sewing the seams. I went over mine with a sewing machine and now it holds fine. Just needed some reinforcement.
Rather than the Rock Solid compression bag, I would go with the Granite Gear Air Compressor XS. They are lighter but can be compressed just as small as the Rock Solids. If you really want to protect your delicate Atom bag, the Rock Solid isn't a bad choice (2.4oz vs. 3.8oz). However if you are looking to cut every ounce from your pack weight, the Air Compressor is a better choice. The XS is the perfect size for the Marmot Atom sleeping bag.
These things can stand up to anything. I own 2 of them, a large and an extra small. The large can hold a winter sleeping bag and the xs can hold a normal pillow for those who like some more luxury when they camp. They are strong, durable and well made. I love these and highly recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed by these compression sacks!
I took this backpacking and this compression sack did very well on my polyfill sack which is usually unmanageably large, and made it worthwhile. Before I was thinking I need to buy a lightweight sleeping bag, but this allows me to put that off a while longer. Great gear, essential for backpacking. My boyfriend with an REI compression sack wonders about his material because its so thin; I trust this one.
Hi I bought my kids the MEC Habanero Sleeping Bag -7C Regular Fits to 6ft. (183cm) 2.1kg Loft is 13.9cm what size or liter of a compression sack do I need. They go backpacking
These things are great! They are stuff and easy to use and greatly compact anything you want! You can fit a full size pillow into the XS and compress it to the size of a football, this makes packing a lot easier if you don't have a camping pillow. The L is great for heavier sleeping bags. They are strong and built out of great material and have not concerns about stressing the straps or buckles. I've left things compressed for weeks at a time with no issues. I can see myself buying more of these in the future, even just for regular traveling! I bought the Marmot Aspen 40 degree sleeping bag which comes with a good compression sack, I'm thinking about switching it out for one of these and owning 3!
I thought I underestimated the size compression sack I needed for my 0 degree fiberfill mummy bag when I bought a medium -- not so! It just barely fit and then compressed down to a manageable size. I loved the sack so much I bought a large and an extra large for my other gear. The sacks are strong and well made and easy to use. A+++ recommendation.
I wouldn't recommend this simply because you can stuff both individually & take up less space. If you still wanted to do it, get the XXL or XXXL size GG Rock Solid.
The specifications on my trekker mummy bag are 34"x82".... what size of compression bag would that translate to? Preferably, I don't want a lot of extra space and I don't want to have to start working either out before I can squeeze it down to size. Thanks!
I'm assuming you have the Cabela's Trekker regular mummy, 0 degree sleeping bag. This will require the GG Rock Solid large. If you have the rectangular or -20 degree bag, get the extra large.http://www.backcountry.com/store/GRG0005/Granite-Gear-Round-Rock-Solid-Compression-Sack.html
This is a very solid compression sack. I got it at no charge because the sack that came with my Marmot sleeping bag had some defects in it. This site rocks!
Its that easy! I accidentally ordered a medium and when I received it, I though I would have to buy a larger bag for my 0F mummy bag, but nope, in it went! Great for freeing up space for the more important things (FOOD!)in my bag.
I used the XL Granite Gear Compression Sack for my last ski trip. One sack held my XL ski pants, XXL ski jacket, fleece vest, thermal base layers, socks, gloves, hat, fleece vest, and a change of clothes. It compressed it down to about 10in tall! It fit nicely in my carry-on. I now own a total of four. I strongly recommend this product.
Exactly as promised, these compression sacks delivered the goods. Highly recommended. Just keep an eye on the WEIGHT of your pack, because you can sure put more stuff in it with these.
These compression sacks are indispensible for your backpacking trips. A bit of advice though, select the next size down from the companies' recommendation, as one other reviewer did. I have a -40 F synthetic bag that fits nice and snug in the XL size. Had to return the XXL as it did not compress small enough to fit in my pack.
I have 5 different sizes of these bags,and I would not buy any other type or brand.the extra small will hold my kelty lightyear 25 degree down sleeping bag prefect,It will compress to the size of a plastic liter pop bottle,thank you granite gear for these super strong and light bags!!!
this was my first compression sack, and I was really ignorant as to how big the sizes were when I bought it, so I ended up getting an XL thinking it needed to fit a sleeping back and some clothes. Since then I got an UL sleeping bag, and I'm only going to be carrying one spare set of clothes, so the XL is serious overkill. This means that the bag looks like a pancake instead of a tube in my sack, and everytime I pull it out, I'm yanking hard on the straps/tighteners. It's held up well to my abuse, and it's about time I buy another, smaller one.
I have had one of these Granite Gear compression sacks ever since my first backpacking trip a little over a decade ago. It has held up well, showing virtually no signs of wear, albeit the only time that it's not inside my pack is at night. I have had multiple bags throughout the years and all types and different sizes compress very niceey into about the side of a basektball.
I'd highly recommend this for any backpacking or even just weekend camping. It's a great way to save space at the cost of only a few ounces of extra weight.
The Med size held my sleeping bag. It is a sierra designs arrow rock 30 degree down bag. SUPER STOKED on this thing. Gonna get a few more. You should too.
If saving about 50% of space for your backpacking and other travels, I found the compression sacks helpful. Be careful to check the sack size that you need for your gear. Misleading information about sizes given may not translate to what you want to compress. Call and ask what will fit with what you have.
Got the small size for my Sierra Designs arrow rock sleeping bag. WORKS PERFECT. It is snug getting the bag into the sack but once you get it in you can pull the straps all the way down. AMAZING! I will be buying more sizes of this bag for sure!
I like how well these compression sacks will get my GoLite sleeping bag. The amount of room I save in my bag is inconceivable. The Straps are easy to pull and release.
