Compression bags – review

Compression bags – After 12,000 miles my opinion is if you don’t have everything possible in a compression bag, beg, borrow, or whatever to pack what you can compressed. My relatively little 23.5 x 12 x 12 Hydra II bag carried 2 sleeping bags, 2 sleep mats, 2 fleece blankets, 2 pillows, Apollo lantern,  and fuel cans for the Jet Boil. No way this would have happened if the sleeping bags, sleep mats, pillows, and blankets weren’t compressed. I made all the compression bags custom to fit what we were taking — it takes a little ripstop nylon, webbing, and ladder lock buckles. I will never travel on the motorcycle without them. Next project is to find a way to compress clothes without trashing them.
