90 pattern arctic bag stuff sack size?

[Highbinder]

Sorry chaps my google-fu isn't up to scratch today. I bought a 90 pattern bag last year but it didn't come with a compression bag for it. I want to pick up a dry bag I can use with it, anyone got a rough idea of the issue stuff sack ? I'm thinking one of the 35l alpkit airlok dry bags should do it, right?

Help me spend my money

Yes 30 - 35 ltr is about right once compressed. I just wonder whether you will be able to get it in without the expansion / compression straps?

Well, only one way to find out I suppose!

Bought it, just arrived but it's the wrong size. Should of investigated further, if you look at that item on their ebay store its clearer that it's for the jungle bag. Back it goes!

If you want to fit it into a pack don't bother with a stuff sack, put it in the bivvy bag then press it into the bottom of the pack, shapes much better this way. All other kit in a dry bag on top.

This is the best way and what did when making longer trips. Saves space and is quick to ge t bag out when needed

Apart from I don't use a bivvy bag, mate Good idea, but! Maybe I should be looking at bivvy bags rather than trying to find the correct compression sack

The link leads to the correct compression sack - it's got "compression sack reduced shape" on the inside of the lid. Will compress the arctic bag down to the size of a football and is one of the best bits of army kit you can get - bombproof and works!
Sounds like you got sent the wrong bag - the jungle bag compression sack is visually the same except of smaller capacity.
Hope this helps
