Great Dry Bag
January 05, 2011

This little back has been wonderful in the sense that I can stuff with all my clothes for a weekend trip, throw it in with my snow gear, and still not worry about my stuff getting wet. Plus, I don't have go through the hassle of squeezing the air out before closing it up. Great technology! I like the fact that it's so compact when all is said and done that I just throw it anywhere while others with their backpacks and suitcases take up so much room. I'm definitely getting another one.

Great compression bag

The airpurge drybag works as advertised. Filled it full sealed it and was able to compress it to a much smaller bag. Is well built and looks like it will hold up well! Love the airpurge makes compressing your bag a breeze. Would have given it a 5 star but have not been able to test how water proof it is really is.

this was just what i needed for a sleeping bag i bought the smallest one still a little big but not so it can't be used just roll it down some but it compressed my stuff and gave me more room in my pack this is great plan to get more wish they hadn't used orange color fabric and keep it solid but its still a good product..

Great Investment

This is one of the best pieces of gear I have received from Altrec. It fits perfectly in my Atmos 50 and I know whatever I put in it will stay clean, dry and organized.

Great for Sleeping Bag

I purchased the 10L version. My 30 degree down bag barely squeezes in, but its great to know my bag will not get wet. I plan on purchasing a larger size to store clothes in. Build quality seems excellent.

Best Sleeping Bag Stuff Sack Ever!
June 18, 2010

This is hands down one of the best pieces of gear out there. To be able to have the combo of a compression sack and dry bag in one is the only way to assure a dry sleeping bag without bulk. No more garbage bag liners and questionable double sack systems. These things are amazing!

durable, waterproof and save a lot of space
January 26, 2012

I took a 25L compression sack with me for trips in China, Nepal, and India. It was snowing and raining. I can put my sleeping bag, and all the clothes inside easily and make it a very small size for carrying. It kept all my items dry during my trips. The compression function is the biggest benefit for me which allows me to carry more things in my luggage when flying, and carry a much smaller backpack when hiking.

One of the best dry sacks out there

I've tried them all and I have to say that OR's airburge system is great. The sack is light weight, keeps the contents completely dry and compresses bulk to perfection. I used them for a lengthy canoe trip this past season and bought a couple more as soon as I got back. Good gear storage makes me happy...and I was definitely happy with this system.

Great Sack!

The OR Airpurge Dry Comp Sack mixes two features that I really need, first it's waterproof, and second is compresses my sleeping bag into a small package. I live in Costa Rica where it rains a lot, since I bought this sack I forgot about packing my sleeping bag into garbage bags. It's a great product!

GREAT

It was exactly what I was looking for. It kept my sleeping bag and pad perfectly dry and ready to use during a hard rain storm. What a wonderful product. The compression straps and air purging system help you make it the perfect size with no headaches. Thank you for such a wonderful product!

great raft trip option

great compression sack fro our raft trip. it kept my bag dry and packed down. this is a high quality product for anyone looking to save a little extra space in their pack or dry bag.

Excellent kayaking bag

Excellent bag! I use it kayaking and have ended up swimming several times with this bag but all my stuff stayed completely dry. Highly recommended to keep your valuables safe.

Great Sack

I reviewed and tried many compression sacks that are waterproof. This sack far exceeded my expectation of how compact I can pack my big sleeping bag. Once you learn the trick, it is fairly easy to pack quickly. Great sack. Great price.

Good but heavy
July 12, 2011

I bought a couple fo these for my heavy down jacket and down sleeping bag. They performed well and were able to compress items for better packing. The main thing i didn't like was that the bags themselves are very heavy. When counting ounces on a backpacking trip, it adds up. Will use them more for water sports now where weight isn't as much an issue...

It Shrinks!

This bag is awesome - OR genuinely makes great products. I was initially nervous because the bag it huge! But, It fits all of my stuff, and legitimately keeps the water out. It compresses really well (depending on what you put in it) and fits perfect in my kayak. So size really isn't an issue. Definitely a good for people who want to keep their goods dry.
