Cram away

By Ethan Walker Ranked #593 - Stuff and Compression Sacks August 18, 2008

After purchasing a Sierra Designs Tiros 2 tent, I really wanted to reduce the huge-diameter factory bag/pkg. it comes in. This OR bag turned out to be just the ticket. I roll the tent and fly together around the poles (in the factory pole sack), and this roll fits nicely into the OR AirX Sack -- the diameter of the bag is perfect for this application. I have just enough room in the top for my Sea To Summit XXS sil cordura sack stuffed with stakes, guy-lines, and figure 9s. The whole package is snug as a bug in the size "4" bag (with just enough room at the top to roll the seal 3 times before buckling, and a little slack to tug out of each of the cinch straps), and it centers very nicely down the main compartment of my backpack. As would be expected, I've packed and unpacked this sack many times, and packed it tightly against other items in my backpack or in my duffle bag -- no problems or design weaknesses encountered. The AirX sack is tough as nails, and well constructed. I'll definitely be buying more.
