Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I received two sleeping bags as a gift a while back which are very nice, but didn't come with a bag of its own (instead, came with a tie-up system which never works). They are also HUGE, and because of the lousy tie-up system, take up a ton of room. I purchased a XX-Large compression sack, and it shrinks the bag down to half its size. It's pretty amazing. Construction on this bag is incredibly solid, all seams are in good places so they don't take the bulk of the pressure, and the cords are great quality. The compression is also lengthwise, which allows for the best compression. Cheap Wal-mart compression bags compress around the circumference, which is just awful. Here's the sizing chart for everyone's benefit, pulled from the manufacturer's website: SIZE: WEIGHT, DIAMETERxLENGTH, VOLUME XS: 3.8oz/108grams, 6.5x15"/17x38cm, 475ci/7.8L S: 4.8oz/136grams, 7.5x17"/19x43cm, 675ci/11L M: 5.1oz/144grams, 8.5 x 19"/22x48cm, 975ci/16L L: 6.1oz/173grams, 10x20.5"/25x52cm, 1400ci/23L XL: 6.9oz/196grams, 11x22"/28x56cm, 1900ci/30L XXL: 8.5oz/241grams, 13x24"/33x61cm, 2700ci/45L XXXL: 9.5oz/269grams, 14x26"/36x66cm, 3500ci/57L (Diameter and length are the uncompressed dimensions)
