Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack
Perfect. Highly Recommended.

Ranked #61 - Stuff and Compression Sacks

One important point. While these can be considered waterproof, as the Sea to Summit website states: "Suitable to keep contents dry in any wet situation where the bag is not submerged." I'd feel comfortable using them in relatively calm water, but not in rapids.
The stuff sacks are light, strong, and durable. I wouldn't hesitate strapping one to the exterior of a pack if I needed the space. I own 2 M, an L, and an XL. I can stuff a men's reg TNF Orion 20°F syn-bag + bag liner in an M. A Western Mountaineering Puma MF -25°F down bag + liner + cheapo Kelty syn-fill pillow fits in a L.
Another great use is for general travel. I used the above set of stuff sacks to suck clothing for three people down to fit in three carry-on bags for air travel to Maui. I saved enough money on baggage fees from that trip to just about pay for the stuff sacks, and it made the air legs of the trip much easier.
