Backpacker April '07 notes this sack's genius ''...lies in the breathable membrane, which moves trapped air out of the sack more easily...''

  • This valve-free dry sack uses a breathable base made of waterproof fabric, which allows air to be pushed out, but keeps water from entering
  • Waterproof and air-permeable eVent™ 100-denier nylon fabric has reinforced stitching on all stress points for durability
  • Polyurethane coating offers the ultimate in waterproofness; waterproof seams are tape sealed and double stitched for added weather protection
  • Roll-top Hypalon® closure with lid and four straps evenly compresses and maintains compressed size
  • Compact and lightweight design; features a pull handle on bottom for easy transport

Imported.

      Comments about Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack - 8 x 18:

      I've had this bag for over a year now and take it on all my trips. It's kept things dry through multiple dunkings, fabric survived being repeatedly tossed into and out of canoes for portages. It's gotten a bit dirty, but that's hardly a problem.
      Compresses things well, I've used it for both clothing and my winter sleeping bag and liner. Keeps stuff dry and compact, and I like the shape: other dry bags I've used were taller or fatter, didn't fit as well in my pack.
      Great bag overall, if I need more dry bags, I'll be looking for Sea to Summit.

        I was considering buying a nice 3 season sleeping bag that would pack small and tight into my backpack; but then I found this and it took my 0 degree bag and squished it down tight enough for me to fit just fine. This thing is durable, water tight, and packs great!

          This was the greatest waterproof compact bag ever. After a week in the backcountry with rain & everything else in my pack stinking, this bag was dry & all of it's contents smelled like they just came out the laundry.

            I can't say enough about this product. I bought one just to check it out one rafting season. Now it is one of the most important pieces of gear I own. Super light, compressable, watertight, etc., etc. I am replacing all my dry bags with these. If you have something that needs to be small and dry - use these bags! Two cool uses I have found for this bag - use as a camp shower and dry bear bag for food (hung in tree of course, its not kevlar - lol). Oh yeah, I take one in my suitcase when traveling. Put all the compressable stuff in socks, underwear, towels, fleece, etc. then just sit on it and pull the straps tight. It saves a ton of space. And when you are going home do the same thing with all your dirty clothes and presto - you have enough room for all the new stuff you just bought! Its a vacuum Space Bag without the vacuum!!!

              Like many of you out there, I am constantly looking for ways to make more room in my pack. This product is amazing. I have one for my tent, and one that I keep my clothes in. It's waterproof... nuff said on that. The compression is SO awesome. I have a two man tent that used to be a little bulky. I can now get it down to the size of a football. I like to kneel on the sack and pull the straps up. These would be really great for general travel too... They are pricey, but worth it!
