Here are two quick photos of five popular rear bags. I am sorry but I forgot to add the tape measure for scale. In the tall position, I sorted them left to right/short to tall. Before sorting them, I set a rifle stock on them to settle them down. The Triad Wedgie and the TAB bag were almost the same size when compressed. The TAB bag will travel higher than the Wedgie if squeezed because it is not as full. The Badger Bone is the only one that you can open to add or remove fill material (they come completely stuffed).
From left to right:
RTG 1/2 Pint, Triad Weggie, TAB, RTG Rear Bag, Badger Bone.
Compressed heights:
RTG 1/2 Pint 3"
Triad Wedgie 4"
TAB 3 3/4"
RTG Rear Bag 5 3/4"
Badger Bone 6 3/4"
Here they are on the thin side:
The Triad Wedgie and TAB will both go down to almost nothing. The two RTG bags dont go as low so readily. Bone will do it, but you have to work an odd angle or remove fill.
Weight in oz.:
RTG 1/2 Pint 16
Triad Wedgie 17
TAB 16
RTG Rear Bag 27
Badger Bone 15
Straps:
RTG 1/2 Single 550 loop
Triad Wedgie Single webbing
TAB Two opposing webbing/corner loop
RTG Rear Bag Two opposing webbing
Badger Bone None
I know there are other rear bags out there, but these are the ones I have access to.
