I am looking for a compression sack/Sleeping Bag Carryall that is large enough and made of strong material for my Trakker oval levelite tail sleeping bag.
Someone who knows one?

I use a Trakker NXG Sleeping Bag Carryall for my Trakker 5 season sleeping bag.
Be warned: It is quite bulky and large.
But i find it easier to deal with than a compression sack.

Cotswold Aquarius do a compression sack and also a kit bag which are both ideal for sleeping bags, pillows, covers etc etc. Not the cheapest but made in the UK and are absolute quality.

Can you not leave the bag on your bed chair?

Bedchair with sleeping bag 17.35kg ...(Trakker Levelite oval tail)
Zipping the sleeping bag on / off takes 1 min of work + it's easier to transport both separate.

Found the Anaconda Waterproof Sleeping Carrier L, seems fine too
Well I've just spent half an hour trying to stuff my Gardner Compact Duvet into it's original bag and it ain't going in there!
What capacity stuff bags are people buying for theirs?
I have left it on the bed but it's so unwieldy

The compression sack that comes with the Gardner bag is useless.
Take a look at the Gardner Waterproof Stash Bag..

Have a look at dry bags for kayaking.
Trakker Downpour Roll-Up Carryall or the ones from Anaconda in Medium.
Thanks for the replies guys 👍

Agreed they are massive but, I get all of my sleeping gear in there, bag, cover and pillow with room to spare.
Handy to throw rod sleeves etc. in there when not in use.
Used to just throw it onto my back when walking down to the lake but as I have moved all my gear from a barrow bag to a rucksack I can now chuck it on the barrow.
The Decathlon one in the link looks good and it's probably smaller.

Know it's not what you asked for and obviously it won't make anything lighter but I've just bought one of these for my bedchair.
NGT Bag
Easily takes my oval levelite and attached bag, plus I can get the bedchair cover and a pillow in there too and having the shoulder strap makes carrying it all easier. The bag is massive so can fit it all back in no problem on the bank and keeps everything dry if I'm slinging wet gear into the car.

As mentioned previously, a "Dry Sack".
I use the Aldi ones, 25 litre and 44 litre. Once my sleeping bag is in it, just squeeze as much air out of it as you can, then kneel on it to compact it down more, roll the top down and fasten it. It does not matter if the Dry Bag is too big, it will still compress down to a small size. I use one for my spare clothes and one for my sleeping bag and they keep things 100% dry.
I find I can compact my sleeping bag down to a smaller size than using its proper compression sack in a Dry Bag.
I have a Wychwood bag which is identical to the Trakker NXG sleeping bag carryall but, they are not a compression bag and they are very bulky when packed. I could get my sleeping bag in it along with all my spare clothes., but without doubt, the Dry Bag is far better. My two Dry Bags when packed and compressed take up far less space than the carryall.
Aldi only sell Dry Bags during the Summer months but any camping shop like Go Outdoors sell them all round the year
