Tough, Reliable, and Water Resistant

By Backcountry.com Employee August 4, 2009

Nice, tough materials and easy to cram gear into. They are bigger than I thought, despite referencing the Tech Specs. The medium was way too much for my sleeping bag and ended up swallowing my Nemo 2-man tent and reducing it to the size of lightweight summer sleeping bag. True they are not specifically waterproof, merely water resistant, but I wouldn't be real concerned about that. I was caught hiking for a few hours through a pretty impressive t-storm complete with hail; between my plain ol Gregory pack and this compression sack, nothing got even close to wet.
