The Gobi Gear SegSac compresses your clothes without turning everything in to disorganized chaos.

Gobi Gear SegSac Review

Price and Where to Buy Gobi Gear SegSac: The Gobi Gear SegSac is available for $19.99 on Amazon and Gobi Gear’s website.

How the Gobi Gear SegSac Rates:

Usefulness: 10/10. Regular stuff-sacks compress your items, but everything winds up getting jumbled, so it’s hard to find stuff. The SegSac has four internal compartments that keep everything organized.
Value: 9/10. For a stuff-sack this size (15 liter capacity), this is a great price.
Portability: 10/10. The SegSac weighs just 1.5 ounces.
Durability: 10/10. The nylon sack is tough and very lightweight.
Cool Factor: 9/10. Being organized is much cooler than tearing apart your suitcase every time you need to find something!

Final Verdict: If you want to actually be able to find your stuff while using a compression bag, the SegSac is an essential companion for your backpack or suitcase.
