Hey everyone! I’m thinking about getting some DCF stuff sacks. They’re definitely more expensive, but I’m curious if you all think they’re worth the extra cost?
Are you after the lightest stuff sack? Then sure. Otherwise, no.
Definite no if you’ll have it rubbing against something, like a rack, handlebar or similar. It doesn’t stretch and despite “durable” it wears thin.

I don’t like DCF for nearly anything but tarps or tents and even then I think it has many drawbacks. With stuff sacks especially when bikepacking they get worn out way too fast. I get a lot of abrasion from everything bouncing around and the weight savings over silnylon or silpoly just isn’t that great. In summation I think DCF stuff sacks are a giant waste of money.
