Thanks lol
Thanks man. He was so motivational I even forgot why I was watching this video.
Thanks for the watch.
I appreciate your detailed review. In particular, I like that you showed the printing in the bag. That was a piece of info that helped me make a more informed decision.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Watching a sale, now I know which size to buy. I love your video! Thanks for the entertaining demo.
Glad to help!
Thanks. I appreciate and enjoy your videos.
Great video! Thank you for showing how it's done. This helps me allo!
Glad it was helpful!
It is an awesome piece of gear. I have a size small for my 20deg quilt works like a charm. Great review/ tutorial 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Great explanation. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Aaron, I just ordered one of these Event sacks for my Mountain Hardwear Phantom 0 F down bag due to your video.
In the past I have used Sealline sacks that have the one way valve to release air and they have worked well.
I bought this S to S sack because it weighs less and does not need a valve to let air out. Less to fail.
Thank you.
Best of luck!
Nice video !!! Thanks a lot !!!! Greetings from Chile !!
You are welcome! I've always enjoyed my time visiting Chile. I hope to again someday.
Thanks for this, looking for a nice stuff sack for a long trip in Montana
Have fun!
Thank you.
Welcome!
I got the small and medium and use for Bikepacking .. I upgrade to the large thanks for info
Glad to help!
I’m a subscriber now!
Thank you. Please send questions & ideas for future videos. I want to make my videos as valuable as possible to my subscribers.
Really appreciate you telling us what size sleeping bags and compression sacks you are using For which bags
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Would a small work for the WM ultralite?
Yes, absolutely
do you think i could fit my cabelas scout 0 degree bag in a size medium? or do i need a large. Awesome video!
Get the large bag, it's easier to handle.
hi! I'm new to backpacking, I figured itd be worth a shot posting a comment. what size do you recommend for a kelty cosmic down 0 degree bag?
You could put it in a Sea to Summit Large (20L) bag with some work.
It'd be pretty near-impossible to cram the Kelty Cosmic into a Medium since the Kelty is 4 lb. 9 oz. / 2.07 kg. YMMV.
Honestly for a bag that heavy/big, I'd get the Sea to Summit XL (30L) and then avoid the struggle when you're cold/tired. The few extra ounces will make it worth it when your hands are freezing while stuffing the sleeping bag into the compression sack at 3am on a cold mountain. :)

Do you think that compressing the bags as much as you do has had an effect on their respective temperature ratings over the years? For example, do you think your Antelope bag is at this point just as warm as it was when you first bought it? Or do you think that it’s more like, say, a ten-degree bag at this point since it has been compressed so much and so many times over many years? I imagine that the down has broken down to some extent over the years and is now less lofty and the bag less warm.
According to WM, there's no effect - AS LONG AS - the bag was completely dry when it's squashed. I've never noticed a drop in ~20 years of use.
Hey video i have a down 800 + and want to know what is the longest you would have it in a compression sack , if i pack it the day before than spend 2 day traveling on plane then spend a day in the hotel than start the hike it can be 4 /5 days is that to long or what do you do when your in this spot ? thanks
According to Western Mountaineering, their testing shows AS LONG AS the down is DRY, it'll be okay for a "long" time. I just left my WM Puma stuffed in a compression bag for a week while waiting for clear weather to fly to Denali - it worked just fine.
Hi Aaron, I just bought a mountain hardware bozeman regular sleeping bag. What size compression sack would you recommend for it? Thank you.
Large size.
I was surprised the clip broke .. but saying that when i ordered the large version it came with extra clips now days
Good to note.
What size compression sack do you reccomend for the Megalight sleeping bag? Thanks.
I use the 20L sea to summit sil-nyl bag: amzn.to/33D8jZ2
You do have to be careful with it, as the fabric isn't super tough but it gets the job done.
@@ALinsdau Thanks for the reply. Is there any reason you don't use the eVent Compression for the Megalight? And would that also be the Large / 20L eVent Compression that would fit the Megalight bag?
What's a good size for a nemo forte sleeping bag? I have a regular man's size sleeping bag
I like an upsized bag for water bottles and drying clothes.
Can this pack a regular sleeping bag, that is a not specifically for backpacking?
Yes, this bag does great for compressing any sleeping bag.
What size do you recommend for the Puma WS?
XL
;-) me again:
what size do you prefer for the long ultralite with a volume of 8l? the s/10l or m/14l?
thx again!
The 14L would be much easier to stuff. Plus you can add down booties to the bag and still have some space. You can always cut the straps.
@@ALinsdau yes, that where my thoughts too ;-)
so i've ordered an exped 13l compression bag plus the schnozzel for pumping, cause it is the only one, which compresses horizontal, which makes much more sense (for me):
www.exped.com/germany/en/product-category/packsacks/waterproof-compression-bag-s-red
my compresses size is 26cm x 22cm? what size bag do I need?
20l large
Medium should do the trick.
Hi Aaron!!! I am trying to downsize on gear but my sleeping bag is a Rab ignition 5 (I don't do down as I'm vegan) I LOVE my sleeping bag but I've not been able to find any help in compression sacks for it as she is a bit bulky. Does the stuff sack work the same for pyrotec or can it compress more? Thanks for the videos. I LOVE them. 😁
These sacks work great but you need to get one bag size bigger. Synthetic is a tough one.
What is the liter size bag you use for the antelope?
Also do you recommend the antelope or the versalite for temps around 0-15F?
I use the 6'6" Antelope so I have room for me and my gear.
I'd use the Antelope if I had to choose. I'd get a warmer bag if you're constantly at 0 because you don't have much headroom.
Thought it would be a one-way vent in the bottom so you could get all air out and compress it to the max.😕
Thanks for watching!
Still working for you? I'm gonna store in trunk of car. Wondering how tough they are. Love your channel!
Is this the same as the eVac?
I believe it is. It looks like they have changed the name. They also changed how the straps are attached. My buddy who skied across Greenland with me, had the newer version of the bag.
What is the name of that green sleeping bag again?

@@ALinsdau Thank you so much!
This guy looks and talks exactly like the actor Steve Carell in 40 year old virgin. The similarity is stunning.
I need to work on my acting career clearly.
That's a reach. He looks nothing like him 😂
Moosh
Thanks for watching.
You seem like a nice guy. But almost 4 min before you even start talking about the sacks... if 30%+ of your video is pumping you up for everyone else then its an easy 30 to cut. But then again you wouldnt get a 10+ min video on it...
It's a challenge for sure.
@@ALinsdau in all fairness I'll actually apologize here. That was the first of your videos I had watched and since then have watched many and subsequently subscribed. It was an outlier for sure and you just have a chatty nature. Sorry for being a bit rude there.
Try compressing your next video to 5 mins
Thanks for watching!
