Not what I expected

Ranked #659 - Stuff and Compression Sacks
June 23, 2008
Well, I just got the sack today and was looking forward to testing it out with my tent and sleeping bag. As soon as I pulled on the first strap it popped right off the sack. It looks like it was never stitched on like the other three straps (with two double duty seams). This may have very likely been an oversight and not caught by quality control, but in my book that's unacceptable. So, I decided to return it and go with granite gear instead. The one thing I did not like the sack(if it would have been in perfect condition), is that there seems to be a section above the compression straps that doesn't get compressed. It's a strange design to have that extra space (some used for rolling up the top) and not being able to compress it.
