Brand: Sea to Summit
Located in: Stuff Sacks
The Sea to Summit's eVent Compression Dry Sacks feature a completely new concept in compression dry bags - there is no valve. This innovation uses an air-permeable base made of eVent® waterproof fabric, which allows air to be pushed out of the sack, but won’t allow water to get back in. 

The eVent Compression Dry Sack has a roll top, and Hypalon™ closure with a lid and 4 straps that evenly compress and maintain compressed size. The sack also includes reinforced stitching on all stress points, and a pull handle on the bottom. This quality Sea to Summit bag is super compact and very light. Perfect for any adventure you can imagine!
  • Unique compression idea - allows air to be pushed out to compress, but water can’t get in because of the waterproof, air permeable eVent® fabric base
  • Rugged 100 D nylon body & lid
  • Waterproof seams - double stitched and tape sealed
  • Roll top Hypalon™ closure with lid and 4 straps evenly compresses and maintains compressed size
  • Reinforced stitching on all stress points
  • Pull handle on the bottom
  • Super compact and very light

    Comments about Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sacks:

    This is a great stuff sack that will shrink down even large synthetic bags to a manageable size and it will keep your gear dry even in torrential downpours or a quick submersion. It's lightweight and the eVent breathes well so there is no vent required when compressing your bulky sleeping bag. My only complaint happened during a mission in Afghanistan when my pack was pushed against the exhaust pipe on our truck and the stuff sack actually melted inside my pack from the heat and took a little bit of my sleeping bag with it. In other words, be sure to keep this sack away from heat sources and sparks.

    Comments about Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sacks:

    I was skeptical that our large synthetic sleeping bags would not compress to 8"x9", but the eVent Compression Dry Sack did the job with no problems at all. The Dry Sack is lightweight, but has a lot of muscle to it. Our official trip isn't until this fall, but I'm confident that this item will hold up to its reputation of being strong and waterproof.

    Comments about Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sacks:

    I was using the bag in the boundary waters and they tore too easily and water soaked right in getting all of my stuff wet for two freaking weeks.

    The only pro I can think of is that it compresses very well.

    Comments about Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sacks:

    My sons and I just got back from our canoe trip in the BEWAC. The eVents compression sacks preformed perfect. They were water proof and vented the air out to allow for complete compression. They held up to tuff conditions and use. I would recommend these compression sacks to anyone. They are going up for another adventure in 30 days.
