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.

It folds up very compact if your just using the bivy sack. I don't know the exact measurements.

I would recommend the small sack 7" X 16", 10L down to 3.3L, it would give you some flexibility.

It's like 1.5 times a ski case and very heavy. You need two persons to handle it and a truck. I would not recommend traveling with it.

It fairly large. The stuff bag is too small for the actual sleeping bag, so putting it back in the stuff bag proves fairly impossible. It almost requires two people to do it. You can get it by yourself however. I recommend you buy some nylon straps that can synch the sleeping bag tight together after you roll it up, this way it will be easier to put back in the bag. As far as the sleeping bag storage bag with the sleeping bag in it, it is about 16" in diameter, and just short of 3' tall, so again, fairly large. Overall this is a great sleeping bag. You won't get cold even at 0 degrees in shorts and T-shirt. It fairly large. The stuff bag is too small for the actual sleeping bag, so putting it back in the stuff bag proves fairly impossible.

Thanks for the tip. I am especially interested in using the unit while I'm traveling, and as such don't have the large cleaner or canned air (it's harder and harder to travel with gear these days unless you check your bags - which I don't do unless absolutely necessary).Does anyone have experience using the unit while traveling?

As mine sits right now in the stuff sack it came with it's about 10" in diameter and around 17" in length and that was with some rushed packing that I've yet to remedy. As Paul said, it could get smaller if you had a compression sack.

Empty it weights next to nothing. Filled up, it just depends on what is inside. It really compresses well. I have various sizes and use them frequently. I can fit a sleeping bag in the medium one if I cram it in. It fits easily in the larger one. I pack clothes in the smaller one for a weekend, or sometimes I use it to condense my travel pillow. Hope this helps.

Rolled up and stuffed into the carrying bag it comes with, it's a cylinder 9" in diameter, 14" tall when uncompressed. You can probably squish that down to half the size if you wanted to.

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.

Hi Dave, I measured the pack for you and it is 22 inches long by 14 inches wide in the compressed sack. The total weight is just about 8 pounds and I cannot stress enough that this system is one of the warmest you can buy and will protect you in the coldest environments.

Hi Carolyn. I bought a very lightweight. Duffle called sea to summit large off of amazon. I then placed the loaded backpack inside and checked it. It worked great not to mention I could lock the duffle. The duffle then packed nicely into the backpack for future use. The duffle is very compact. You could also use the rain cover and then check however the straps hang out. I think the duffle is the best option. Good luck.

It will fit in the sack because it is flat & can be rolled up. However, I do not recommend these pillows for anyone. They are not as good as advertised. If you like to sleep with your head on a rock, they are perfect.

Hi RD; it's to be carried in back pack or pannier etc; the straps you see in the picture have been pulled tight to produce the compression. Hope that makes sense :-)

It would be as big as your back pack. Its not thick, it's just spacious. We had it shipped to our vaca destination and coming home in its sack it took up an entire med suitcase.

Comes with a sack but I can't tell the feasibility of getting it into a pack pack and fitting anything else. Rolled into the sack its about 14x24

When this sleeping bag is packed into the stuff sack that it comes in, it is 14 inches long by 8 inches in diameter. It could be packed smaller with a compression sack (not included).

My compression sack stuffed with the bag is approx 12" deep/tall by 15" in length with an inch either way for margin of error. It's pretty difficult to completely stuff it in there and I might be able to do it slightly better length-wise.

I have a thermarest (L) pro lite. It rolls up really tight as it is if you roll the air out, seel it and then re-roll it again and let the remaining air out again. If you were goin to use a compression sack also i would aerrainly use the (blue) small sack.
