Granite Gear, born in the Boundary Waters and tougher than granite
Granite Gear was born among the placid network of wild waterways etched through the boreal forest that make up the Boundary Waters between Minnesota and Ontario. During a paddling trip through Quetico Provincial Park in 1986 Jeff Knight and Dan Cruikshank realized there was a need for better outdoor gear, planting the kernel that became Granite Gear.
From those humble beginnings—two buddies on a camping trip—Granite Gear has grown into an internationally respected brand that matches purpose with weight, comfort and durability. Their award-winning backpacks and accessories have gained a cultish following and have proven their mettle in the earth’s harshest environments, from Mount Everest to the North and South Poles, and to thousands of miles of everyday wear and tear. Jeff and Dan set out to make the best gear imaginable and they and Granite Gear’s team of product designers and engineers have accomplished it—with an ever expanding line of products ranging from stuff sacks, to ultralight packs, to ultra-durable packs that meet the demands of soldiers. Granite Gear’s gear is truly tougher than granite.
Air Compressor
The Air Compressor is Granite Gear's answer for the ultralight packer who wants to save weight by compressing gear and carrying a smaller pack. If you’re familiar with our Rock Solid compression stuffsacks, you know we’ve been making the best packing systems since our beginning in 1986. If you think about it, these stuffsacks need to handle a lot of stress, and it’s no easy feat to shave ounces, but that’s exactly what we’ve done. 210 denier lid and arches are beefy where it’s needed.

It is a good product, made well, good materials. If you think you need 8 liter get a 12 liter. This liter rating is accurate if you are filling it with water. Gear bags will always need some additional room; or you will sweat just getting you stuff back in when on the trail.

I fit a top quilt and bottom quilt from Enlightened Equipment, both rated at 0 degrees and 850 fill down. Compacted them down till the size of a volleyball! fit so well in my pack. This is a good size for a large mummy bag or quilts for hammock camping!! Would buy again if needed. This is the lightest compression sack I found!

Bought the 16L. Weights in at only 2.5 oz. I was able to stuff my 1# down quilt bag into it within about a minute. I can compress my quilt to a square about 2/3 the size of a basketball - I'm sure I can compress it even smaller but I don't want it to lose too much of it's loft. Gives me more options as to where to place the bag. Highly recommend this piece of gear - especially for those who carry down sleeping bags or quilt for you next ultra light backpacking trip. Looking forward to taking this piece of gear up to base camp below Mt Lyell in Yosemite this summer. Thanks for a great product! Great price too!

Flimsy fabric, but otherwise as described. The 16L was not as big as expected, should have gone with the 23.

Uses an interesting cord-lock design rather than straps. Durability unknown, but seems well made. The square cross-section helps with packing.
