ALPS Mountaineering Cyclone Stuff Sacks

Great compression sacks, with compression straps for length and diameter. High quality reinforced stitching, hefty buckles...all top notch. Shown here (at right, bottom of my pack-notice the Alps logo). Reduced my -5 degree back to a smallish tube size...easy to pack.

Great product for certain situations.

I use one of these to hold my tent with sleeping pad wrapped around it. Makes a secure protected package. Also use one on sleeping bags when backpacking with an external frame. The longer shape is great for strapping to the outside of the pack.
