I have a couple of these bags, one is used as a compression bag for the tent and the other for sleeping bag (L & S respectively). The tent one is used for a year (and quite regularly).
Both are amazing at their job, with the valve it's really easy to make tent (Staika) fit in the sleeping bag compartment of a backpack and sleeping bag can be compressed to half the size compared to its original stuff/compression sack, thanks to the valve on this bag.
The bags seem to be durable, the one used for tent, despite slight abuse is holding on very strong and still feels like brand new.
One star down for narrow bands to compress - they're somewhat uncomfortable to mess around with, especially on a trail in winter - can't grab really well in gloves and sometimes they bite into the fingers whilst tightening. On the flipside, both the stitching and material of belts seem really strong.
Was slightly disappointed that S size came with horizontal compression belts, instead of vertical, like on the L one I have, but I guess it's a minor thing.
Overall, would recommend - especially if your tent or sleeping bag have poor stuff sacks included.
