No it's just practice and neat folding. I can usually beat the makers stated packed dimensions for any SIB.

BTW welcome to the forum. I've not seen that shape of SIB before... how long is it?

Problem easily solved by getting a second bag which also reduces the weight (unless you fill the space with extra gear)

Cost was £25 from the manufacturer Excel. Alternatively they will sell you a bigger bag fit for purpose.
