Marmot Kompressor Backpack - 920cu in

The Marmot Kompressor Backpack is a streamlined rucksack that does double duty as both a compression stuff sack and a small daypack for summit scramble and quick side hikes. When you’re on the trail, store your sleeping bag or down jacket in the Kompressor thanks to its three-strap compression. When a peak or alpine lake is calling your name, ditch the big pack, slide your reservoir, food, and fleece into the Kompressor, and take off for the afternoon. The bag also stows in its own lid for travel applications.

Bottom Line: A lightweight stuff sack backpack for quick detours and day hikes.

What are the dimensions when it's stowed in the lid and how

What are the dimensions when it's stowed in the lid and how thick is the foam back sheet? In other words, when this pack is empty, how much space will it take up in my larger pack?

Without the foam sheet and stuffed into it's lid the kompressor is slightly larger than a softball. The foam back sheet is 2 mm thick.

I was looking for a small pack to stuff inside my travel backpack, that had the ability to be plucked out and thrown on for small side trips or use as a airline carryone and this one definelty fits the bill. Great little pack and they fixed the draw string problem I had with my old one, so I am stoked about this product

I do a lot of trail running, and backpacking with my German Shepherd.

I do a lot of trail running, and backpacking with my German Shepherd. I have been looking for a lightweight, smaller sized backpack, with sweat-wicking material for the part of the pack against the back, and cushioned straps. I just need enough room in the pack for the (dog and I) essentials for a day trip. I have searched a zillion sites, and have tried out several packs. I am very petite, and so far everything tried has been very uncomfortable. Any ideas out there? I can't find anything comfortable, for a tiny framed person...help!

Thank you :)

Have you checked out the HPL packs by Nathan? Many trail and ultra runners swear by these. They have a snug, 'vest'-like fit that keeps them from bouncing around so much and thick, soft straps that wick moisture and don't chafe. I can personally recommend the HPL #020.

Just took this on a trip to the Cascade Mountains. Loved the pack for the most part. Nice and light so it works great as a summit pack in your larger pack. I wish the foam padding didn't have to be removed to stuff the pack into its lid. Also the shoulder straps dig in slightly with a heavier load but this is to be expected. (The shoulder straps are thin and light weight to keep the overall weight low.) 100 ounce Camelbak fits into the hydration sleeve well leaving the main compartment free and clear for rain suit, snacks, camera, etc. Would definitely recommend this pack to anyone looking for an ultra light day pack/ summit pack. Also worked great as a carry on for my flights.

I don’t really think it is worth while as a compression bag, but you do have the option if you need it.

stuff sack and a backpack

By:

Really cool ultralight pack that doubles as a compression stuff sack for your sleeping bag. Stuff your sleeping bag in the Kompressor, throw it in your backpack and use the Kompressor for day hikes from camp. Or use the Kompressor as an ultralight day pack. Foam back panel turns into a nice seat at lunch. Gets more use than I thought. Take it to the gym or market on my bike, too.
