"Let'er rip" - Review of Granite Gear Air Compressor Compression Sack

I bought this sack for my down sleeping bag, and at first I thought it was just too cool. See through material, a reusable container...I was a happy camper. Until it ripped that is. It tore after about 1 year of use, and it happened near the edge, where I was gripping it with my left hand as I stuffed it with the right. The nylon just came off in my hand. Since then I replaced it with an Outdoor Research Helium stuffsack, and I couldn't be happier. Another neat feature that the Helium has that this one lacks is snaps on the straps. The straps on the air are all permanently attached, so every time you put the "cap" on, you have to make sure they're untangled and aligned. A stuffsack that has snaps is just so much quicker to pack up.
