Exped Compression Bag
Best waterproof compression sack for backpackers needing extra pack space.
This is the ultimate space-saver for anyone tired of bulky gear. By combining a waterproof drybag with a purge valve, it shrinks sleeping bags and clothing down to a fraction of their size. You sacrifice a bit of organization for pure, streamlined volume, but the ability to lash it externally makes it indispensable.
