how big is it when stuffed into its sack? if i had to take it backpacking this would be the wrong bag? i want something that is thick, for padding

It comes with its own sack with is made of nylon and seems to be pretty durable. The sleeping bag itself has to be rolled very tightly in order to get it back into the sack, but once in it measures 12 inch diameter by 19 inches long roll.

it fills very easily a 50-60 L backpack, yes, it is way too big, i mean a lot, and it says it weight 2 kg,it fills like 60-70% of my 85 L backpack

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.

it is much too big to take backpacking. It is a great bag, nice and fluffy. You need a bag that weighs 1 1/2-2 lbs. This bag is great for extra sleeping for unexpected kids.

As others have said, this is not the right bag for backpacking. It is a great bag for local car camping and winter overland trips. Highly recommend.

THIS IS NOT A BACKPACKING BAG!!! I bought it for backpacking, and it will never, ever work for that, unless you have lots of space to spare. I kept it to use as a two-person sleeping bag for regular trips. I carefully rolled it as small as it will go and put it in the stuff sack before measuring it for you: 1'7" tall, and 1' diameter. That's 19" tall and 12" diameter. In metric, that's about 48.25cm tall and 30.48cm diameter. If these numbers seem big, that's because they are.

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.

I agree with Ivan... not super thick but very sufficient. I have found this bag, along with the straps to very comfortable. I have it pretty well loaded when I use it and will wear it for hours and I love it.

The bag is about 17 to 22 inches long. It will fit in a tight fitting space. But it is heavy due to all the great gear inside. We stuffed ours into a small secure "cubby" space in our home. It won't squish too easily either, because it comes packed full. Best bag we've bought for our money! Wither emergencies or bugging out, we think it's great. Hope this helps.

Approximately 6 feet long 8-10 inches in diameter ... the length makes it difficult to walk with...if the bag was made so that the straps could be used back pack style and fitted so that the bag sat high rather than be smacking the back of your knee caps itd be much better to carry .. however it packs up nice to carry on sled... or is okay..if you carry it messenger bag style across one shoulder and chest.

i have a Titon 65 internal frame and I think i have this same sleeping bag. it fits-only fits the bag-in the lower compartment of the back pack. I stuff it in as opposed to roll it up and then try to put it in the compartment of my Titon backpack. i haven't used the bag for sleeping yet so i can't talk about the bag's qualities.

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.

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.

No it's terrible!! Don't get it. Get a Kelty or an actual backpacking bag. This one has an awful belt and weight distribution is all on your shoulders. Please don't buy it!!! I just consigned mine and bought a Kelty kids and it actually fits like a pack. Good luck

Is the sleeping bad down? If so, I think it would fit in this bag. However, as I said in y review, the quality of the bag isn't as good as others we have. If you need something now, get it. If you have some time, look for something a little heavier.

The total capacity of the bag is 2803 cubic inches from what I could find. I imagine if your also attaching a sleeping bag you will need to calculate that as well. I have a much smaller Maxpedition bag with the XS size and it fits perfect. I also have attachements on the bag. I would use the size chart and add for the sleeping bag. Or worst case by the size that looks like it should fit and the next size up and send whichever doesn't work back.

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).

I think that would be a very tight fit. The padding takes up some room. I think I'd go with a slightly bigger bag.

I would imagine that given enough effort you could find a smaller stuff sack. How ever this a comfort not a space saving bag, and would not be my 1st choice as a back packing sleeping bag due to it's bulk and weight.

This is a great bag, I use it on my dirt bike. It is not as big as a school bag/backpack, If the jackets are light like a wind break style and you can roll them up, most defiantly. For a camel back style bag it is quite large, but a medium size backpack. Hope this helps.

I couldn't get it back in the bag either, no matter how much help I got. I ended up getting a big enough duffle bag at walmart and separate compression sack ends to go with it. Either way about it, it takes up some room.

Well, to be honest, it's a hard call. It's a large sleeping bag and perhaps if you rolled it tightly, it just might be able to tuck underneath the main pack. I would go to a camping place store, see if they have a similar sleeping bag and ask if you can roll it up. :) Then get it on Amazon.
