I’m exploring options for compression bags. Anyone know if there’s a style of compression bag out there that has an air release valve?

I’m thinking of a bag similar to a vacuum seal bag with a release valve, but uses direct pressure applied by hand to compress air out instead of a vacuum.

Use would be for over and under quilts, hammock and clothes.

Sea to summit makes one called the evac?  And it wants air out at the bottom the more you compress but won’t let air or water in

USMC MACS bag, they have a one way air valve on the side so as you compress them the air pushes out but can't come back in.

I have a bunch of those bags and really like them and use them all the time.  But, I have had a few leak at the valve.  Splashing water will be fine but not if submerged.

I use dyneema dry bags that I buy off Etsy. I compress my 20 degree Enlightened Equipment quilt down extremely small using one and it's waterproof.
