these are good, just like a normal sleeping bag compression sack but this one is waterproof.

here's the "spiel"

sea to summit eVent® Compression Dry Sacks

"COMPRESSION DRY SACK / BAG - MEDIUM - 14/4.5 LITRES"

Made by "Sea to Summit", these compression dry sacks offer a completely new concept in compression dry bags - there is no valve.
This innovation uses an air-permeable base made of eVent waterproof fabric, which allows air to be pushed out of the sack, but won't allow water to get back in.

FEATURES
*
Unique compression idea - allows air to be pushed out to compress, but water can't get in because of the waterproof, air permeable eVent fabric base
*
Rugged 100 D nylon body & lid
*
Waterproof seams - double stitched and tape sealed
*
Roll top Hypalon closure with lid and 4 straps evenly compresses and maintains compressed size
*
Reinforced stitching on all stress points
*
Pull handle on the bottom
*
Super compact and very light

SPECIFICATIONS
# Size: 8" x 18"
# Weight: 5.2 oz
# Volume Max/Min: 14/4.5 Litre

When closed properly, the bag will protect agains rain spray, splash, and short term submersion. Roll down closure bags are not meant for long-term submersion. Not intended for storage of optical, photographic, or electrical equipment.

if you've read all that you'll know these bags come in different sizes, the one suitable for a sleeping bag is the 14 litre bag which compresses to 4.5litre. look to pay around £15 Cool

if in doubt about the size or you have a super large sleeping bag, go for the bigger version 20litre down to 6.5litre at around £17
