There is a 'roll top lid' that covers the opening. After
shoving your sleeping bag inside the sack, you place the lid over the opening.
The lid has 4 straps that are connected to the bottom of the sack. Once the lid
is in place, pull the 2 opposite straps at the same time. The lid is made out
of the same waterproof fabric as the rest of the sack, sometimes it is even
double insulated because it has more stress put on it. As long as you make sure
the lid covers the entire opening, no water will be able to get in.
Generally, no. It is
possible that you could find a fire resistant compression sack but that is not
the standard.
It is ok to put your compression sack in the wash but it
should be on a delicate cycle. They tend
to get pretty stinky if you've been camping so it's helpful to have the option.
Yes. Most have two or three to tighten whatever is in the sack and to attach it to another bag for easy carrying.
