I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

This dry sack is specifically designed for compressing bulky clothing or gear, allowing for more efficient packing. Made from lightweight PU-coated 70D nylon, it features a 40D nylon air permeable and waterproof base with a 10,000mm waterhead rating, ensuring maximum waterproof protection.
The reinforced waterproof seams are double-stitched and tape sealed, providing added durability. Additionally, stress points are reinforced with extra stitching. The secure hypalon roll-top closure features four straps for evenly distributed compression. This design ensures a tight seal and prevents water from seeping in.
The Sea to Summit Event Compression Dry Sack is equipped with a pull handle at the bottom, making it easy to haul your gear. Plus, it has a patent-pending field repair buckle that can be replaced in seconds with a Phillips screwdriver. Available in five different sizes (6 liter, 10 liter, 14 liter, 20 liter, and 30 liter), this dry sack can accommodate anything from small essentials to group gear.
It's important to note that Sea to Summit products are guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship for the lifetime of the product.
The Sea to Summit Event Compression Dry Sack is a great option for outdoor enthusiasts. Its valve-free expelling design allows for efficient compression of bulky items, saving valuable space in your backpack. Manufactured from lightweight and waterproof materials, it provides reliable protection for your belongings. The reinforced seams and secure closure ensure durability and water resistance. With its various sizes, you can choose the one that suits your needs best. Trust in the Sea to Summit brand to deliver high-quality products that will last you a lifetime.
The Sea to Summit Event Compression Dry Sack surpasses its competitor, the Ultra-Sil, in terms of performance. While the Ultra-Sil may be lighter, it has design flaws such as twisted straps that don't hold as firmly. The Sea to Summit dry sack, on the other hand, provides better compression and can be securely strapped to the outside of a backpack. Additionally, the Medium Ultra-Sil is smaller than the Medium original. When it comes to durability and functionality, the Sea to Summit Event Compression Dry Sack is a superior choice.
If you have a Big Agnes 30 degree sleeping bag, it's important to select the appropriate size dry sack. To find the right fit, search for your bag on REI or another site to determine its stuff sack size in liters, as well as its compressed liter volume if available. This will help you understand how much the Sea to Summit dry sack can compress your bag. For example, a Kelty Cosmic 21 long with a stuff sack volume of 11.5 liters fits perfectly in a 10-liter Sea to Summit Event Compression Dry Sack, providing extra room for compression.
For an llbean dual temp sleeping bag (lg/xl adult, older model, slightly bulky), the recommended size would be large. These sleeping bags have good compressibility, so an extra-large size would likely be too big. Opting for a large size will ensure a compact and efficient packing experience.
If you need a dry sack to fit 2 pairs of pants, 6 shirts, 4 pairs of socks, underwear, and one button-down shirt, the ideal size would be either 8 or 13 liters. The exact size depends on the type of clothing you have, as different fabrics and styles can affect the overall volume. Assuming you have trail-ready clothing, these two sizes should provide enough space for your items. The Sea to Summit Event Compression Dry Sack in either 8 or 13 liters will accommodate your packing needs, leaving you with enough room for other essentials.
Things we like
- Compression stuff pack that is incredibly light and easy to carry
Things we don't like
- Not exceptionally long-lasting; thus, it's best to use it as a supplementary dry sack for items that aren't necessary.
Summary
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the small bag fit a Big Agnes 30 degree sleeping bag? I bought the large bag of this, and the bag was to big for this sleeping bag.
The best way to buy the sack is search your bag on REI or another site to find it's stuff sack size in liters, and if possible it's compressed liter volume. Then understand this bag will compress the bag smaller than the stuffed volume listed on REI or the other site. For example my Kelty Cosmic 21 long has a stuff sack volume of 11.5 liters and fits in the StS eVent 10 liter (small ).
How does this compare to the Ultra-Sil?
This one is way better, across the board. The Ultra-sil is lighter, but makes to my compromises.Not only do the Ultra-sil straps get twisted up too easily, they don't hold as firmly. With this version, you can strap it to the outside of a pack by passing a strap through the compression straps. If you do that with the Ultra-sil version, it the compression strap comes loose as you walk.Also note that the Medium Ultra-Sil is smaller than the Medium original. I own several of these, but only one Ultra-Sil, and the Ultra-sil rarely makes it into my backpack.
What size do you recommend for a llbean dual temp sleeping bag (lg/xl adult; older model; slightly bulky)?
An X-larg would probably be too large as they compact quite well. I would suggest a large
what size would i need to fit in 2 pairs of pant 6 shirts 4 pairs of socks and under wear and one button down
Nathan,Of course the type of clothing will make a difference, jeans vs ultra light zip off pant, etc. Assuming your talking trail ready clothing I would suggest either a 8 or 13 litre bag. I use a Sea To Summit 13 L Ultrasil bag and have more than enough room for 10 plus days. I use the bag you're asking about for my Kelty 2 pound sleep bag, a Kymet pad and a small air pillow with about 1/2 empty after compression; I use the same bag at night as a Bear bag
