HikeLight Dyneema Stuff Sack Review

I recently ordered a HikeLight Dyneema stuff sack (round bottom) from Etsy. I needed a new stuff sack for my old Silnylon tarp. The stuff sack that came with it was too small, plus it was starting to rip apart from wear and tear. It’s over 20 years old. After searching around for the right-sized stuff sack, I found HikeLight on Etsy. They offered a stuff sack that was designed for an inflatable sleeping pad that seemed like it would work perfectly for my old tarp. Plus, they had purple!

What is the HikeLight Dyneema stuff sack?

The HikeLight Dyneema stuff sack is a stuff sack — what more can I say? They make multiple different versions of Dyneema stuff sacks. I purchased the round bottom version. They also offer different fabric weights. I picked the 0.67 ounce weight fabric, which was the lightest option.

While they offer sizes from 0.5 liters to 18 liters, I thought the 2.5 liter version would work best. The 2.5 liter stuff sack measures 4.25 inches in diameter and 11 inches high.

Mine weighs in at 0.3 ounces.

First Impression

It’s always a risk to order from Etsy, because you never know the quality from small sellers until you get the item. In this case, the company did a great job. It’s excellent quality. I’m not sure if they are made to order, but it arrived quickly for a small brand.

For my purposes, it works about as well as it could based on the size. I wanted just a little extra room, but it’s close enough. I may order a second to replace the stuff sack of my air mattress. It would save me a fraction of an ounce in weight, but it looks so much cooler, especially in purple!

She also offers other Dyneema products including a nice first aid bag. My current bag is just a little too small for our family trips. HikeLight offers several sizes at a reasonable price for Dyneema. If I had unlimited money, I’d grab a Dyneema bucket.

Anyway, this stuff sack is well made and works well for me. If you’re in the market for an ultralight stuff sack, HIkeLight is worth exploring.
