Sea to Summit Mesh Stuff Sack 5L

It is obvious someone put some thought into what makes a great stuff sack: the mesh makes it light and easy to see what is inside; the loop at the closed end makes easy to pull the sack out of your pack; the clamping mechanism is attached to the bag making it much easier to open and close; and the mesh seems strong enough to last for years. The 13L size is big enough to hold a jacket or two but not too large for a daypack. It is a pack organizer that helps make it easier to find that jacket you need or the warm mitts for your freezing hands. Very happy with the quality and the size of this stuff sack.

I purchased 15L mesh sacks to store my down sleeping bags when not in use. These are heavy duty and of excellent quality. I expect I'll get a lifetime of use out of them as they won't see hard outdoor use. Most premium sleeping bags come with a quality, cotton storage sack. Mine did as well, but I needed a smaller volume solution for storing in my camper van. Storing down slightly compressed is fine, allowing it to breathe while stored is the key to longevity. The mesh is durable, providing a solid layer of protection for the sleeping bags while stored. These are an excellent solution for me, and I'll likely purchase one for every bag or quilt I acquire in the future.

Very lightweight and has a nice slippery texture so loading in and out is easy. The mesh is quite fine, making this lightweight but not terrible fragile. That said, this is a mesh bag and rough handling will eventually damage it. I would not stuff boxy or sharp items in here. It compresses decently but nothing compared to a compression sack. It's a great and affordable solution for tarps, hammocks, etc..Use it for what it's meant for and it will serve you very well!
