Before I write my reviews, I typically use the product I purchased for an extended period of time before commenting on the function for which it was made. First, I'd like to say that I travel a lot for various purposes. When I travel, I like to have a durable and functional number of things with me for when the occasion arises. That being said, price still plays a huge factor in my decision making process, but I never hesitate to pay a bit more for something more durable. As you may have assumed, I am extremely rough with my stuff because in fast-moving situations, you have no time to be gentle with your belongings. It needs to be reliable.
I bought this compression stuff sack in April of 2016. I bought it for the purpose of using it as my laundry bag on a 3-week mountain expedition. I was particularly attracted to this because of it's size (I bought the juniper green, size large), and the fact that it was compressible. If you do any sort of hiking or explorations, you'll realize that weight and the amount of stuff you carry with you is extremely important. You are constantly limited by the amount of space you have and how much you can take with you. Having a compressible sack like this saves a lot of space for when you have dirty clothes. All you do is fill it with your stuff, clip with cables together, and compress the straps. When the bag is filled with dirty clothes, it compresses to the size a big bigger than a football.
Overall, since I bought this in April of 2016, I've used this on a lot of international travel. It takes up no space (lay it flat on the bottom of your suitcase), and is durable. there is also a convenient handle on the top of it so you can pick it up by that. I've had no problems with it, and I foresee using it for my upcoming adventures in the months and years to come. I highly recommend this stuff sack and it will make a HUGE difference in helping your organization and separating your dirty clothes from the clean clothes. It will be dependable for the times that you need it most.
