PackOut Compression 20L Stuff Sack

Compression and Dry Bags

These are light duty fabric but certainly durable enough to go inside luggage or a pack. Good value and well built. I used them for a week on a motorcycle tour and they performed well.

Closing mechanism at the top works well. Good compression sack

Not even close to as good as previous models

This item arrived at my doorstep today and it's definitely nowhere near as high of quality or as rugged and well thought out as the original that it replaced. I'll fid a use for it but OR seems to be following a trend of making lower-quality products and keeping the price the same. I found what I'm looking for on a competitor's website and will be going that way. Very disappointed.

Love it!

simple and efficient product! Get the job done!

Field clothes bag

Recently used this very heavily during a deployment to the Middle East. It was used to keep clothes dry at the start of exercises, then turned into a laundry bag. It kept my clothes dry during heavy rain and wind storms. It also kept some nasty dirty clothes sealed away from clean clothes in my bag. After the field events Olathe bag was very easy to clean and has never retained the horrible smell from my clothes. Very happy with the quality and durability of the product. I will be purchasing this product again just in different sizes to adapt to how many days I'll be in the field. In a pinch it always works as a handy shower bag.

Easy to use clips. Light weight for its size and compresses down well. Compression system works reasonably well even if the bag isn't full. I use it most to stuff tarp/tent/sleeping bag. Excellent for cold weather trip but I wouldn't trust it on float trips or hunting in wet climates.

Down grade from the old style.

I got this to supplement my older compression stuff sack. It is durable enough and kept my equipment dry. How ever I am not a fan of the new design, it is harder it pack and seal than the older style as well as doesn't compress as small. I do not regret buying them but would not purchase again.

Very Durable and Innovative

I used this product on a recent military field exercise where we spent 21 straight days training in the woods living out of our rucksack. This stuff sack held up great the whole time keeping clothes dry and dust free. I also used it each night as a pillow. The design is great because it is both a water resistant bag and a compression sack. 20 L is a lot more space than you think you need. I had two full military uniforms in it only filled the bag about halfway (see photo). I would say if you are just using this for a couple day backpacking trip get the 5 or 10 Liter. If you are using this for a multiple week trip id get the 20 L.

Great dry bag

Great dry bag if it filled with the right amount of gear. It doesn't quite cinch down if underfilled.

The only thing I wish I could do with the bag is be able to take the compression straps off and use it as a regular stuff sack. It's not a big deal which is why I gave the product 9/10. This feature would just make the bag more versatile. Otherwise, the bag looks and feels like a high quality stuff and is extremely lightweight.
