Yeah, O4F hit that right. In say something like the Sea to Summit eVent Dry Sack, I would definitely go with the Small size (10-3.3L). Rule of thumb with comp sacks and sleeping bags- start with the original stuff size, let the straps do the work and compressing for you. Hope that added to the conversation.

hi there! a 5 liter bag would be tight, but doable, a 10 liter bag would be better, and plenty roomy. Hope that helps!
