Is this a bag you would take backpacking? And does it come with a compression sack?

i use it for backpacking. it does come with a good compression sack. it does not compress as small as some higher end bags but its as good as i have seen for the price.

Absolutely. I took it backpacking last week and it was 32 degrees in the morning. The compression sack it comes with is fine. The straps look like they will tear under pressure at some point but so far so good.

Product description should contain that but from my standpoint it is no heavier than any other stuff sack other than straps and clips. I hiked in rain for two days and my bag stayed dry. I use an old school frame pack and secure bag to frame below pack.

No this is just the bivy it doesn't have the sleeping bags or compression sack. Mine is waterproof, I've used it in the snow and had no problems.

i'm not at home where i can measure, but its approx. 12" in diameter when its in the bag and yes, it has compression straps on the bag

I would say yes. I have only used it for backpacking and all of my stuff fits in there perfectly. I'm assuming you will only be taking clothes so you should be good with this backpack. I love this backpack!

I thought it was a bit bulky but a stuff sack might work. It's still an awesome sleeping bag though.

Yes. it is a big bag. My son puts in cloths, summer sleeping bag, night kit, inflatable pillow, etc for campouts and has no trouble.

I'm not sure but i wouldnt recomend this as a backpacking bag because the waist support is flimsy and doesnt support much. I got this for my girlfriend but we then returned it and got a larger one from the same company that has better waist support tjat works well.

Not a very good bag for packing. Its got a large volume, its clumsy, and its heavy. I've managed to pack it, but I'd recommend a better compression sack then the one provided with it. It's very warm, and I've used it in single digits(F). Though I wouldn't recommend it for long hikes. Maybe 1-2 night trips, but anything beyond that I'd recommend something lighter, more compact, and built for backpacking. All-in-all its the same weight packed.

Yes, compression type. Still a big bag when compressed, but roughly equivalent to 2 sleeping bags.

Yes - That is all I can use this bag for now. I have had a bad experience with the zipper. My wife tried to use the sleeping bag fully clothed and ripped the zipper - it won't reconnect. I would not recommend that you buy this bag unless it is under $20.

The bag's huge--it's not heavy, but it's not light weight either. It might be a bit much for a backpacking trip, unless you plan to bring back Sasquatch in it. It holds ALL of my car-camping gear--tent, tarp, sleeping bag, air mat, etc.

Well, mines full of some MREs, extra set of clothes (socks/underwear/pants/shirt), and a sleeping bag; all added up its not very light ;)But the bag itself is quite durable, of course it isn't the most light weight either. I don't find the bag alone very heavy though, I just wouldn't rate it as 'light'. It's also very nice since you can tighten down the straps and compress whatever you have to take up as little volume as possible. This can work great as a standalone bag or you could attach it to the bottom/top of your 'main bag/ruck' if needed. Sorry I can't give you an exact weight, this is very much durable though. So whatever little-extra weight this might have over competitors is probably worth it.

It does come with a compression sack and packs down nicely. The compression sack even has straps to bind it more tightly. It has been a few months, but I think it might get down to a cylinder about a foot long and about 6-8" in diameter.

Mine came with a drawstring bag, definitely not a compression bag. I looked to see if I could find one with a compression bag, there's another version of the recluse, but with an orange rainfly that shows the compression bag, interesting. Mine was the one with the green rainfly.

It sure does compress, and does so well. I've had no problems doing so. My sleeping bag doesn't occupy the whole sack, so I either add clothes or seal it at is.

Yes, it compresses down quite well. I usually have it in a compression bag with my rain gear.
