Wiggy's will sell any of their sleeping bags vacuum packed. I guess the US Navy buys a bunch of them that way. It's a bit spendy but for something that could save your life it may be well worth the while.

great..i learn something new every time i log on here,but..the cost of just the vacuum pack would put most people off so they would not buy one.however it looks like the thing someone who needs a "real" kit would pack away.

Yeah, obviously that's an expensive option but someone who spends a lot of time in on the highway in the winter or say a Canadian bush pilot might find it a lifesaver. You could get one behind the seat of a truck were you couldn't fit a regular bag, for instance.

I don't have one of the vacuumed bags but I don't rule out getting one eventually. I have two Wigggy's bags and can't say enough about the quality.
