Outdoor Research UltraLight Compression Sack
Great Compression
By Shane O'Donnell
Ranked #61 - Stuff and Compression Sacks
October 27, 2009
I definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a compression sack. I grabbed a 15L one, and was a bit skeptical that my -20 Hybrid bag from MEC would fit, but somehow, this sack just kept swallowing it up. It got a bit tight near the end, making it a little difficult to stuff in, but she fits, and compresses down pretty small. I had problems with the MEC suppled sack as it wouldn't fit in any but my biggest packs, so this is great, taking it down to a size that will easily store in my Osprey 33L, or my BD 30L. There is a small pocket on the inside of the top portion, which I find no use for other than stowing the sack into, but some people might find it handy. The material is pretty light weight, and while I trust it to hold my bag while in my pack, I wouldn't want to hike with it outside my pack, since I feel light material punctures and rips way easier than some companies advertise. Pretty water resistant, but not waterproof.
