The fairy-tale ideal for summer storage is a cedar closet...or a regular closet...or a cedar chest. The real-life answer is Stack-N-Vac storage bags, which don't require as much room as a plastic bin — or a cedar chest — but still protect your sweaters from the feasting moths of summer. Essentially giant Ziploc bags, VacuSacs ($18 for one extra-large and one jumbo bag, www.packmate.com) reduce the original heft of your gear by as much as 75 percent, without wrinkling. To use, slide the hose of your vacuum into the designated opening in the bag and suck out the excess air.
