Some manufacturers supply the so-called compression bags directly. There are belts with which the package size can be easily reduced.

But note: Compression is recommended only for a short time (for example to store the sleeping bag in a baggage).

Bear your sleeping bag as airy as possible so that the fibers of the filling do not break. Otherwise, its insulation line decreases with time.

For a short time this is of course a great thing – even if it is not optimal for the sleeping bag.

If my backpack does not have a huge volume, however, I would always prefer to transport it loosely in its normal case attached to the backpack from the outside. The pack size then doesn’t matter more or less.

By the way, I don’t roll my sleeping bags, but just put them in the case. This is also better for the fibers (duration).

So it is difficult to reach the original package.

You can still reduce this, but that’s work. And again 10cm I consider a theoretical value, which you will not reach at least regularly and especially conveniently on site.

Also depends on the sleeping bag and the packaging technology.

Sounds stupid now, but you can compress virtually everything that is made of fabric with a garbage bag and electricity 😉 How you doing? Put the sleeping bag in the garbage bag, then put the hand nozzle in the vacuum cleaner and hold the garbage bag, so that no more air comes into the garbage bag from the outside. The vacuum cleaner sucks everything out in air.

If you don’t have it, you can also compress the sleeping bag by rolling it as tight as possible.

You can actually trust the information, but then you have to roll well.

So, according to my experience, when you fold and then roll in tightly from the bottom to the top, it may kneel after each turn to compress on the roll.

Just try it out in the sports business.

If that were an option, he wouldn’t have asked three questions on the subject…
