Sea to Summit Stuff Sacks

Can you imagine how crazy it would be to fill your kayak or backpack with all of your gear without organizing it in some way?  You would loose gear, have difficulty finding gear, and waist valuable time.  The bottom line is that you cannot afford to be unorganized.  Everything in your pack is needed and when you need it, you want it now.  Enter Stuff Sacks!

Stuff sacks come in many sizes and colors and are the key to organizing your gear and protecting it from loss or damage.  Regardless of the activity, organizing your gear in stuff sacks allows you to quickly identify what you are looking for.  The size and color of the sack helps you decide what will go in them and writing on them with a permanent marker can help customize the whole organization process. 

Sea To Summit makes several types of sacks: stuff, seam sealed, dry, mesh, compression, and e-vac sacks.  Each has a intended purpose and all come in multiple sizes and colors.  The two types that I bring everywhere are the "Nylon Stuff Sack" and the "Dry Sack".  The Nylon Sack is made with a tough 800mm nylon - water proof coated fabric, a heavy duty grab handle, and has reinforced stitching on all stress points.  The closure consists of a nylon cord that pulls and cinches the sack closed and locks with a spring loaded slide lock.  The Dry Sack is of course water proof.  The material is soft and packable.  The closure end is reinforced and folds over itself then locks with a tough plastic buckle.  For securing the dry sack, it has a D ring that attaches to the buckle, this allows the sack to be secured to the outside of your boat or pack. 

When I'm out for more than a few hours, I've always got my stuff handy.  And my stuff is always organized in a Sea To Summit stuff sack or dry sack.  Click on the link and visit my friend Rick at 2K Adventure Gear for more information and to place your order.  Mention Rich sent you.
