Tools and Hardware Reviews of ITW Compressible Vacuum-Seal Travel Roll Bags, Set of 5
Customer Review: Useful for travel, but with a quirk or two
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't quite understand the previous reviewer; their review indicates they were using these bags for long term storage. These specific bags are travel bags, used to help reduce the bulk of your clothes when travelling. They aren't intended for long term usage and because they are meant be rolled to squeeze the air out, they aren't tightly sealed.
All that being said, these bags are useful but have one particular quirk. If you truly roll these up from the zippered side, the clothes tend to bunch at the other end because they slide. We have found that rather than rolling, it is better to lay the bag on a firm surface and lay down on it slowly. However, that is not nearly as quick or convenient as rolling them and as such, makes them less likely to be used more than once or twice for the purpose of reducing bulk.
There are some positives regardless of the amount of air you squeeze out (or don't squeeze out as the case may be); these bags are heavier duty than regular ziplock bags and can be used to store items to keep out dust, mildew, etc. They are also useful when travelling when you are likely to have wet swimsuits, towels, or other items that you need to keep separate from your other clothes.
I rated these bags 3 stars due to the rolling issue I mentioned above; it really takes away from the ease of use and original intended purpose (to have your clothes take up half of the normal space). However, the other uses I mentioned keep them from being a waste of money and since they are part of Amazon's 4-for-3 promo as of this writing, it makes them a better deal.
Description of ITW Compressible Vacuum-Seal Travel Roll Bags, Set of 5
ITW Space Bags travel bags are made of the same durable material that our regular space bags are made of so you can use them over and over again. Because of the clear see through film, you can keep your cloths organized for speedy security checks at airports. Not only can you pack twice as much in your suitcase now, but as you use your travel bags they will keep dirty and damp cloths away from your clean clothes. To use, simply load your travel space bag and starting at the zippered end roll the air out for a tight sealed package. Then add all those items you would not have had room for in your suitcase!!Space Saver Bags
