With a good compression sack how small can you get this bag? I'm looking for a 20-30 degree bag that can compress as small as possible and don't want to spend too much. thanks.

Michael, You will find that most synthetic bags in the 20-30 degree range will compress down to about the same size with a good compression sack. I recommend the "Granite Gear Block Solid" size Medium (16 L) for this range of sleeping bags. It should compress down to about the size of a basketball. The attached picture is not this specific bag, but you should be able to compress it to about the same size. Have you thought about making the jump to a down bag? Kelty makes a killer down bag for a really good price. It will cost more than most synthetic bags, but it should last twice as long, and it includes a compression sack so you wont have to spend an extra 30 to buy one. It is called the Kelty Lightyear 20, make sure you get the down* version. Anyways it's worth checking out. http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Kelty-Light-Year-Sleeping-Bag-20-Degree-Down/KEL0582M.html Hope this helps and good luck
