there is a problem if space remains in the sack compression? that is, if I have spare space, well I can compress my sleeping bag? thanks!

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.

It may be a little tight. I folded a king size fleece as a reference ( I didn't have a queen) and it didn't fit. If the larger bags aren't much more I would suggest those to be sure.

The answer would depend on the size of the sleeping bag and tent. If your using a highly compressible sleeping bag and an ultralight 1 or 2 person tent then it should be doable. A synthetic sleeping bag, or a larger tent would be difficult if not impossible to fit, and would leave very little room.

this one is about 3.25 lbs and can be compressed down "Not recommended for storage but in backpack trail mode" to the size of a basket ball. Hope this helps its pretty warm bag I have had it down to 25 degrees and was warm. Remember there are several important factors for sleeping warm. Eating well good sleeping pad and tent placement and a few other things.

I tried to stuff it into this one (small), and it was way too roomy for it. It really does fold down pretty tight.Snugpak Compression Stuff Sacks, Olive, SmallUPDATE: I've had some better luck with this thing:Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack,X-SmallStill a tad bigger than it has to be, but it cinches down tight and nice, you just have those straps dangling. The tricky part is folding and rolling the bivy such that it fits. The best way I have found is to make two lengthwise folds spaced evenly at 1/3 of the bivy's width (i.e. you fold it along the long edge from one side, then fold the other side on top of that), and then rolling that up. This gives you a roll just thin enough to fit in that sack. I tried to stuff it into this one (small), and it was way too roomy for it.

What are you trying to compress? I don't think these things are meant for dogs, the Orange bag is a really good size for a decent sleeping bag. I'd you're bag can compress really well, then, it might fit the smaller one

You should be able to squish it down into a large. I have a women's down sleeping bag that I can stuff into a medium.

I have a "long" version of this bag and it can be rolled (tightly) into a 7"X17" (11 liter) compression bag. I have to roll it neatly, and it takes a little effort to get it into the bag, but it fits very nicely with no excess space (and compresses from 17 inches down to about 8 inches long). The compression sack I use I found at REI.

Compress as much air as possible out of the zipper bag before putting in space bag. Shouldn't be a problem to double bag.

If you're using it just for the liner -- 6 strap compression stuff sack would be fine. Lying flat the compression bag would be approximately 18 x 23. Diameter is approximately 32" around bottom of bag. If you need one, let me know I have one in very good condition, which is not listed (I can list). The 9 strap is a tad longer & wider - 9 strap made for the entire USGI sleeping system, which is the bivy cover and the sleeping bag (I also have 9 strap).

I would say no, this is an almost mummy bag with an odd shape, I wouldn't think they'd zip together properly like a standard sleeping bag.

If I understand correctly, you are asking if two loving individuals can fit in this one sleeping bag comfortably when both sides are zipped? If that is the big Q, no. But maybe with a very tight spooned fit!

No, because there is a little res plastic thingy on the zipper...I'm assuming so the zipper won't get stuck. But I will say they are awesome sleeping bags. I got one for both me and my husband for camping in michigan and they were perfect! :)

There are bungees on the face of the bag you could put a bed roll in, it might be too much weight for the little bungees for something heavier then that. I used them to hold my rain jacket and a sweatshirt while it was hot out. You might be able to get away with strapping the sleeping bag to one of the compression straps on the bag itself. But I have a 32+ degree sleeping bag and it fit fine in the bottom compartment then centered the tent up from there put food and other supplies to balance it. Hope the info helps.

Like the others have mentioned, the external straps for securing just about any camping gear is possible. I personally like keeping my sleeping bag inside my pack to keep it dryer, cleaner, and secure from bugs. I have a fairly bulky 15-degree down sleeping bag that compresses down and fits easily within the top-lid pull over. Also agree its a great pack.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

The sleeping pad would be about all it fits in the center. It is not as big as it looks. Unless you packed clothes in the center of the bag.
