There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows how small these sleeping bags compress down to. Do they actually come with compression bags? I just took them out of the box, and have yet to bring them home from my office, but hoping they can be packed smaller than how they shipped.
When we got one of these bags for my son, who is 12, the bag supplied was way too small for him to get the sleeping bag back into the stuff sack. We went to REI and tried different compression bags. He ended up being comfortable with the eVent 20L that compressed to 6.7L. I probably could have been quite happy with the next size smaller for the compression stuff sack if I was using the sleeping bag, but needed him to be able to stuff the bag without me around. He has the regular size sleeping bag.
