Suggestion:

Go easy on a good sleeping bag. The ultralight down bags tend to be constructed with very light fabric baffles which enhance the lofting effect. If you get rough while jamming it in a stuff bag you can possibly tear things internally. I've seen guys jam them in very roughly and it's not the way to go. I like the Granite Gear and Sea-To-Summit compression bags. Push a good down bag into it and then evenly compress with the cords or straps. The best eVent bags are absolutely watertight and can be carried externally if needed. I have no problem leaving my bag on the top or bottom. I most recently placed it on top of my loaded pack and cinched it down with top straps.

Thanks for the heads up Kevin, definitely don't want to damage my bag as it certainly wasn't cheap!

Regardless, stuffing is the way to go.  Just be gentle.   :goldtooth:
