[Manager's comment]

This stuff sack is made with Dyneema®, a standard in ultralight gear. Its long strap allows you to carry it over your shoulder, a feature not often found in other companies, allowing you to change the way you carry it depending on the situation. The stitching is not very strong, so please be careful when carrying anything heavier than 1.5 kg.

The best thing about it is that it's perfect for storing your clothes when you go to a hot spring! The inside is surprisingly not see-through.

The bonus of it coming in a rock sack pouch is awesome! Ridge!



[Quote from manufacturer]

A stuff sack is essential for packing when hiking or outdoors. When I first started hiking, most stuff sacks were made from Silnylon.

Lightweight and waterproof, Silnylon seemed like an ideal choice at the time, but in practice, it tended to slide around inside the backpack during packing, making it difficult to organize my belongings.

It was during this time that I discovered a material called Dyneema® Composite Fabric. I made my first stuff sack using this material in 2018. At the time, it was a material that was not widely available on the market, so I decided to try making one myself first.


Dyneema® Composite Fabric is not only less slippery than Silnylon and much easier to pack, but also incredibly durable. When I actually used it while hiking and camping, I was amazed at how durable and easy it was to use. I still remember how much more comfortable packing was.


I never really liked the feel of air pillows, so I often use a stuff sack as a pillow when I sleep. However, the Silnylon stuff sack would slip every time I turned over, making my head unstable. The Dyneema® Composite Fabric stuff sack is less likely to slip, keeping my head in a stable position while I sleep, allowing me to sleep comfortably. This stuff sack provides stability when packing and sleeping, making it the ideal piece of outdoor gear for me.


Nowadays, stuff sacks made with Dyneema® Composite Fabric are also available on the market. The RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR Stuff Sack aims to be simple yet practical in design. We hope you will try out the Stuff Sack, which has been designed with attention to detail to make your packing experience more comfortable.


The side of the opening inside the main body contains a 1.5cm wide, approximately 55cm long nylon tape (length cannot be adjusted).

You can remove the strap from the inside and use it as a hand strap or shoulder strap depending on your needs.


It can be used as a regular stuff sack when hiking, and as a mini shoulder bag when stopping at a hot spring on the way back.


【material】

The material used is "Dyneema®CT2K18".

This material is made of a polyester film coating on the surface, a 0°/90° UHMWPE (※1) fiber middle layer, and a polyester film coating on the back. It is a lightweight yet extremely durable and waterproof material (water pressure resistance 20,000mm).


(*1) UHMWPE is an abbreviation for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, which refers to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is a polyethylene classified as an engineering plastic with an average molecular weight of 1 million or more, excellent slip resistance, abrasion resistance, and high strength.

The thickness of the CT2K18 was good after all.

For many years, RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR's "Stuff Sack" has used Dyneema® Composite Fabric with a thickness of CT2K18 (32.6g/m²). However, last time, we used a slightly thinner Dyneema® Composite Fabric called CT2E08 (25.4g/m²), which is available in a vibrant color lineup. However, we decided that the CT2K18 (32.6g/m²) thickness is optimal for the "Stuff Sack," so we went back to using that fabric.

【care】

・The bag is designed to withstand a load of approximately 1.5 kg. If you use it with more luggage than that, the stitching may be damaged.

- Do not place near fire such as lighters, gas stoves, or bonfires.

- Please note that although the fabric itself is waterproof, the seams of the product are not sealed, so it is not completely waterproof.



[Manufacturer description]

RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR is a manufacturer of tools that simplify your time in the mountains and your daily life leading up to it.


It all started when I started making mountaineering equipment for my own use. As I made various tools with my sewing machine, more and more people started saying they wanted them, so I started a brand within the scope of what I could do myself.
