Review on 🧳 Nelson Rigg CB-02-MD Compression Bag, Medium: Organize and Optimize Your Packing Space by Daniel Mettler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works exactly how I needed it.

I bought this to keep my bedding in the handlebar strap to pack my bike. I can put my blanket, tent, poles and sleeping pad in it and they fit perfectly. So far I've only been able to squeeze it inside with the tent poles inside, but I've had no issues with the straps/buckles breaking. There are better compression bags out there with better hardware that can withstand more impact than this bag, but for the price you can't beat this bag. Also, I firmly believe that if you take care of your gear, it will take care of you too. How can you blame something that has been treated like garbage for breaking like garbage? The only real downside is that this thing is about as waterproof as a kitchen sponge. Luckily I bought Scotchgarde Water Repellent Jacket Spray and I still have a lot to apply to this bag. Now that the bag is waterproof it has performed very well on multiple trips over 500 miles. Ultralight camping tent Bigfoot Outdoor Gravity 1P2. Paria Outdoor Products thermal down duvet 15 degrees3.
