Choosing a Compression Stuff Sack for your Sleeping Bag

When you’re trying to save valuable space in your pack during a backpacking trip, compression stuff sacks are very useful tools to help reduce the volume of soft items like your clothes, or especially your sleeping bag. If you’re lucky, your sleeping bag’s manufacturer included a compression stuff sack made specifically for the size of your sleeping bag, and this may help you reduce your sleeping bag’s packed size to an acceptable level.
