Compression sacks with air valves, do they exist?

Camaroman Joined Feb 2004 Posts 2053 EE 100% (30) KY, USA	Posted: 2/24/2024 1:45:10 PM EDT 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.

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.
