Compression Sacks & Dry Bags
If you spend a lot of time on-the-go, then you’re always looking to optimize your gear. Every adventurer knows what a difference the right camping gear can make. Oftentimes, it’s the difference between being miserable and having the time of your life.
If you’re researching ways to improve your efficiency while packing, then you’ve probably come across the concept of compression bags.
Travellers can use compression bags for their clothing, toiletries, undergarments, and more. They can either accompany a backpack or a suitcase or replace the need for them altogether. Compression bags help you pack more efficiently and make your gear feel lighter. The last thing you want is to have to summit a mountain with a heavy bag on your back.
If you’re... looking to consolidate your stuff into one small, lightweight area, then compression bags are the right choice for you.

What is a compression bag?
Compression bags (sometimes called compression sacks or compression cubes) fit a large number of contents in a small space. They do this by compressing anything that’s put inside of them. They are most often used to make your sleeping bag smaller and easier to handle but also come in the form of a compression packing cube. You can fit whatever you’d like inside compression packing cubes — it’s pretty straightforward.Travellers can use compression bags for their clothing, toiletries, undergarments, and more.

What is the difference between compression bags and dry bags?
A dry bag is a type of packing device that protects items from getting wet by providing an airtight seal.
