Stuff Sacks and Storage Bags
All Criterion down sleeping bags come complete with a small stuff sack and a large mesh storage bag to help keep you bag stored when you are on a journey.
Criterion Stuff Sacks
- small and lightweight – 14 to 23 gms; 3 litres to 10 litres
- durable – ripstop Pertex and reinforced seams
- snow and shower resistant material
- flap closure covers the opening
- narrow diameter enables one-handed stuffing
- fixed drawcord toggle enables one-handed closing
The Criterion stuff sack is specially designed for easy, one handed stuffing. It has just the right diameter to enable the sleeping bag to be inserted one handed without it being able to “escape”. Finally, when it is all in and you want to withdraw your hand without letting the sleeping bag spring out, a one-handed pull on the draw cord is all that is necessary to close the neck and complete the job. That is due to having the drawcord toggle permanently fixed to the side of the stuff sack.
We have five different sizes depending on the sleeping bag model. The smallest is 11x11x25 cm and weighs just 14 gms. Even the largest is small compared with the competition – 17x17x36 cm with a weight of only 23 gms.
Despite being so light, the Criterion stuff sack is extremely durable. Made from ripstop Pertex material it has specially reinforced seams and will withstand many years of rough handling. Furthermore, a Pertex flap is incorporated at the neck of the stuff sack to close the stuff sack opening, giving added protection to your sleeping bag.
Criterion Expedition Stuff Sack
Whilst many of the features and attributes mentioned above also apply to the Criterion Expedition stuff sacks, there are significant differences resulting from the size of these sleeping bags and from the need to cater for their use in severe conditions. These stuff sacks are more substantial and more robust than those for the rest of the range, being made from a coated, high-tenacity polyamide fabric instead of Pertex.

Criterion Mesh Storage Bag
When not in use Down sleeping bags must not be left in their stuff sacks under compression. That will reduce their lofting ability. For storage, therefore, we supply a Criterion storage bag with each of our sleeping bags. This is made from a very breathable mesh fabric to keep your sleeping bag fresh and fluffy, thus ensuring many years of satisfactory use.
