Outdoor Research Zip Sack, Small

I've used these for many years. They don't wear out. (However, one which was stored in my garage with some oatmeal packets inside got gnawed into by a mouse or something!)I use the small size for my essentials: compass, first aid kit, headlamp, whistle, matches, knife, sun screen, etc.I use the medium size for my cook kit: stove, fuel, teapot, mug, and spoon.I use the large size (packed tightly) for my essential clothing: rain jacket, rain pants, long john top and bottom, spare socks, gloves, watch cap, one of those folding O.R. sun hats, and (in summer) a bug hat.This way, depending on needs of the day's activity, I can thrown the correct bag(s) into a rucksack or backpack or fanny pack and know I'm ready.

I have used many different solutions for toiletry bags in the past, but this simple zipper bag is the best one I have seen so far. It is very light, it can keep all the items I need (small toothpaste, toothbrush, small deodorant bar, small sunscreen, floss,  Philips PQ208 Travel Razor  and a few more odds and ends. Very easy to fit into whatever little space is left in a backpack or carry-on.

Last backpacking trip I was telling my husband that I hate the stuff sacks we use for our camp food and utensils because you have to dig down from top to bottom to find things. I'ts like putting your stuff in a black hole. "Why don't they make them to open sideways?" I asked. Well, they do. These are fabulous. Very light weight, good quality, have loops at both ends so they are easy to hoist up on a line out of the reach of bears. We will use puffy paint to identify which meals or items are in each bag.

Great stuff sack! Very well thought out and well made. I have several different manufacturers versions of a stuff (Sea to Summit) sack and this is my favorite due to it's light weight and shape.

nice sizes, but not good for keeping things dry in wet conditions , or containing leaking from things inside them. I had a shampoo bottle come open inside and it leaked out of the bag all over my suit case. If you need to keep things dry, buy a differant sack, these will not protect your valuable from liquids. Otherwise they are nice sacks

Awesome for backpacking. Easily access your stuff with the use of the zipper running the length of the top.

Simple bag but packs the microphones I intended it to be used for when I do my work.

I have a 10 liter pack I use for bike commuting most days, but on the few days I have to swap out a pair of pants, the Medium bag is just the right size for a pair of heavy jeans. The zip sack's webbing handles on both ends make it easy to attach with a pair of s-clips.
