The Air Compressor Stuff Sack by Granite Gear is a pretty good idea, considering that lighter can normally be considered better, especially when it has to do with stuff sacks. The Air Compressor is the newest compression stuffsack from Granite Gear. It's our answer for the ultralight packer who wants to save weight by compressing gear and carrying a smaller pack. If you're familiar with our Rock Solid compression stuffsacks, you'll enjoy the same quality in the Air Compressor Stuff Sack- they're the perfect travel accessory. If you think about it, these stuffsacks need to handle a lot of stress, and it's no easy feat to shave ounces, but that's exactly what Granite Gear has done. 210 denier lid and arches are beefy where it's needed.
DECENT FEATURES of the Granite Gear Air Compressor Stuff Sack
When every ounce matters on a backpacking trip, these are the stuff sacks to get. They are paper thin/lightweight, but durable as they come. I used these on a 10-day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. They made for light and compact packs. Definitely worth getting!

I bought my first compression sack last summer for my sleeping bag, its a Granite Gear with the webbing buckles. I like the new Granite Gear disign even better, I'm glad my loyalty to the brand has been rewarded. The new see through nylon stuff sack is nice but the new compression straps are an improvement over webbing and buckles. I use it to pack my clothing and 16 lt. does this just find.
If you are looking for a Compression Sack that is light weight and functional, this may be for you. I fear weight savings is a compromise in durability and longevity. The Sea to Summit e vent bags feel a lot more durable but is paid for by increased weight.
Incredibly strong for its weight. You can turn a sleeping bag into a tiny nugget with this compression sack. No longer will snoozing gear take up half of your space!
