Have been using this bag for about three years now and it does double duty for both backpacking and sea kayaking. Its not super heavy duty but it does the job in squeezing my down sleeping bag down to size for transport. In short it does work as advertized.
The Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry sack is the perfect solution for maximizing space on a kayaking, rafting or backpacking trip. 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.
eVent Compression Dry Sack Features:
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 for durability
The seams are waterproof - double stitched and tape sealed to ensure your gear stays dry
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
Proper Use:
Any roll-top dry sack must be closed properly to ensure water can’t get in. Begin by folding the Hypalon™ strip down first and be sure to have at least three rolls before closing the buckle.
Avoid contact with sharp objects or subjecting the sack to high abrasion, as this could compromise the waterproof fabric.
Like all manufacturers of roll-top, fabric dry sacks, Sea to Summit recommends that sensitive electronic devices be ‘double bagged’ (i.e. putting electronics inside one dry sack then placing this inside a second dry sack). For maximum protection, the use of a waterproof hard case should be considered.
