Eagle Creek and Target Compression Sack Review

For some travelers, compression sacks are an easy way to save space and organize gear. Simply fold up your clothes, place them inside, seal the zip-lock top, and then roll the bag (from the top) to force out the air inside. While this works best with bulky, puffy clothing, compressions sacks are still a great way to keep your clothes clean and dry while on the road. Highly recommended.

For home storage of bulky items (comforters, blankets, sleeping bags, etc.), the Space Saver Bags from Target are a cheap way to keep these items clean and compact.
Sold by Target (3-pack, Large size, 21.5x33.5 inches/54.6x85cm, MSRP $12.99)


For Heavy use while traveling, I would opt to pay more and get a more durable compression sack from Eagle Creek. You only need one so make it a good one.
