DD Hammocks Superlight Girdle

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A great little piece of kit that allows you to turn any stuff sack into a compression sack.

Big Agnes says: 

Compress your sleeping bag, clothes, and more with the Superlight Girdle. Use with any stuff sack to get your gear down to its minimum compressed size and create more room in your pack.

Our Verdict

Big Agnes’ Superlight Girdle is a great piece of kit that adds versatility to your collection of stuff sack and dry bags. The simple design provides a set of compression straps that allows you to place it around any kind of stuff sack and compress it using the straps. With strong, durable straps and stitching it does a great job of compressing anything from spare clothes to sleeping bags. It’s such a simple but effective item to have it your kit cupboard.

Put the straps together and turn the top inside out and you have a nice little storage pouch with a couple of press studs to keep it closed when not in use.
