The same bluesign-approved recycled 70D nylon waterproof body and eVent air-permeable waterproof base deliver valve-free compression at 8 litres without straps, purge valves, or mechanical complexity: pack your compressible items, roll the hypalon closure down, and push or sit on the sack to expel air through the eVent base while water stays completely out. For South African hikers, trail runners, and paddlers who need a reliable waterproof compression sack for their most critical warmth layer, the EVAC 8L in Turkish Tile is the format that handles the job most used in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* eVent Air-Permeable Waterproof Base: The 70D eVent fabric base allows air to pass freely outward when the sack is squeezed or sat upon, while preventing water from entering in the opposite direction — at 8 litres, this valve-free compression is particularly effective on a high-performance down sleeping bag such as the Sea to Summit Spark -9°C or a large packable down jacket, reducing pack volume meaningfully without any mechanical valve to fail or maintain in the field\u003cbr\u003e* Valve-Free Compression Without Straps: Pack compressible items, roll the hypalon closure, and press the air out through the eVent base — the 8L volume handles a two-season or high-end three-season down sleeping bag, a large down jacket on its own, or a puffy jacket and insulated mid-layer together, all without compression buckles, straps, or adjustment required before or after packing\u003cbr\u003e* Bluesign-Approved Recycled 70D Nylon Body: The main body is constructed from recycled and bluesign-approved 70D nylon meeting independent certification standards for responsible material sourcing and ethical production, with a C0 non-PFC DWR finish across both the body and eVent base fabrics — maintaining full waterproof performance without PFAS chemicals across the full working life of the sack on South African trails, rivers, and overland routes\u003cbr\u003e* Hypalon Non-Wicking Roll-Top with Field Repair Buckle: The hypalon roll-top closure maintains a reliable waterproof seal without wicking moisture into the closure material itself, and is secured with Sea to Summit's patented Field Repair Buckle replaceable in seconds with a standard Phillips screwdriver with no adhesives or tools required — a practical field-serviceability detail that extends working life across years of hard backcountry use in wet South African mountain and coastal conditions\u003cbr\u003e* Oval Base with White Interior Coating: The oval base profile integrates cleanly into the contoured spaces of modern daypacks, trail packs, and kayak hatches without wasted dead space, while the white interior coating provides strong contrast for gear visibility inside the sack in low-light conditions at dawn starts, evening camp setups, and night packing after a long day on the water or trail\u003cbr\u003e* Double-Stitched and Tape-Sealed Seams: All seams are double-stitched and fully tape-sealed for waterproof integrity across the complete sack — not limited to the closure zone — ensuring the 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating is maintained throughout the full sack body for reliable down sleeping bag and jacket protection in sustained rain, river crossings, capsizes, and condensation-heavy overnight camping conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 8 litres the EVAC sack is the ideal size for a two-season or high-end three-season down sleeping bag — such as the Sea to Summit Spark or Altitude series — a large down jacket used as a primary insulation layer on alpine and highland routes, or a puffy jacket plus a lightweight insulated mid-layer for a multi-day winter backpacking kit. The distinctive Turkish Tile colourway provides easy visual identification inside a pack alongside other EVAC sizes, and integrates with the full EVAC range for a modular waterproof organisation system across all kit categories. Pro tip from Sea to Summit: after pressing the air out through the eVent base, immediately pack the EVAC sack into a tight space in your bag so the base cannot draw air back in — the compression is maintained for the full trip duration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Volume: 8 litres\u003cbr\u003e* Body Fabric: Bluesign-approved recycled 70D nylon with C0 non-PFC DWR finish\u003cbr\u003e* Base Fabric: 70D eVent air-permeable waterproof laminate with C0 non-PFC DWR finish\u003cbr\u003e* Closure: Hypalon non-wicking roll-top with Field Repair Buckle\u003cbr\u003e* Seams: Double-stitched and fully tape-sealed\u003cbr\u003e* Interior: White coating for improved gear visibility\u003cbr\u003e* Base Shape: Oval for pack-contour compatibility\u003cbr\u003e* Hydrostatic Head: 10,000mm\u003cbr\u003e* Non-PFAS: C0 non-PFC DWR on both fabrics\u003cbr\u003e* Packed Dimensions (8L): Approximately 39 x 19.9 x 16.5cm\u003cbr\u003e* Colour: Turkish Tile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: Waterproofing and compressing a high-performance down sleeping bag on backpacking trips in the Drakensberg, Cedarberg, and Cape mountain ranges, protecting a large packable down jacket inside a daypack or trail running vest on South African mountain days where afternoon weather is unpredictable, canoe and sea kayak hatch organisation where a down sleeping bag needs reliable protection from water ingress in hatch seams and wet gear, trail running and fastpacking routes where a emergency insulation layer must be waterproof, lightweight, and compressed into minimal pack space, modular dry sack organisation systems where the 8L handles the down sleeping bag or primary insulation layer while smaller EVAC sacks cover electronics and accessories, bikepacking and cycle touring on South Africa's gravel routes where a down jacket needs reliable overnight protection in saddle bags or frame bags\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for a smarter way to keep your down jacket or sleeping bag dry and compressed without valves or straps?
