Tools and Hardware Reviews of ITW Space Compressible Bag BRS-9212ZG Vacuum-Seal Travel Roll Bags, Set of 4
Customer Review: really helpful for airline travel
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the things I like best about the Space Bags is that everything in my suitcase is contained. Not only are my clothes compressed to save space, but should my bag be opened for inspection, it is less likely that my stuff will be disturbed. I don't know about anyone else, but it just makes me feel weird to think of TSA agents tossing through my undies! If they can see what's in the plastic bag, they usually won't open it up.
The bags work multiple times, but eventually seem to lose their ability to seal up. I've had some pop because I smooshed on them too hard and fast while trying to push the air out and I've had the zip top stop sealing. But only after multiple satisfactory uses.
All in all, Space Bags are definitely handy, both for getting more stuff in less suitcase and for keeping it safe and contained.
Customer Review: Poorly Made & Doesn't Really Save Space
Summary: 2 Stars
These bags are not worth the price you pay for them. They're essentially giant Zip-Loc bags, and honestly, I think I can achieve the same result with a Zip-Loc bag.
It does remove all the air out of the bag by rolling the bag filled with clothes, and it is vacuum sealed. However, when I opened the bag to get my clothes out, the zipper ripped the bag along the top edge rendering it useless. So my suggestion, if you decided to buy this product, be careful on how you open the bag.
The other issue I have is with its usefulness. The bags don't really save that much room in my luggage. You're restricted to how you pack because all your clothes are restricted to the bag. In the end, I was able to pack more items in my luggage without the bags by just tightly rolling up my clothes into logs.
Customer Review: Space Bags Defeat Fee-Happy Airline Charges!
Summary: 4 Stars
Ever since 9/11 I've hated traveling. I recall with nostaglia the good ol' days when there were meals on domestic flights, flight attendants were happy, you didn't have to take off your shoes during security, and big bags didn't mean big fees. Well, those days are gone. With all the airlines charging fees left and right to make up for their near-bankruptcies, I'm relieved that there's a solution - Space Bags! I stuffed 2 weeks of clothing into one checked bag (instead of two) thanks to these deluxe ziploc bags. They cost $15 but are reusuable, whereas I would have been out $20 to check in a second bag. While they aren't perfect (repeated use caused one to tear), the bags allowed me to maximize space in my carry-on. They are ideal - I plan on using them more in the future. Take that, American Airlines!Customer Review: Excellent Bags for Traveling
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using these bags for over 2 years in my North Face Carryon bag and they enable me to get a weeks worth of clothes and workout gear into a bag that will fit into any overhead I've ever tried to include several TurboProps.
If you take care of them they will last a long time. They are thin by comparison to some of the other bags out there but keep in mind they are intended for Travel and are lighter in weight that some of the other bags out there.
I am getting ready to order a couple more sets. I carry an extra bag with me on trips for dirty clothes so that I don't contaminate the bags I use when I am outbound. They are an excellent value and well worth getting.
As others have stated, don't over fill them and they will function just fine.
Customer Review: Space bags
Summary: 1 Stars
I am deploying and I was looking to save as much room in my back as possible. As soon as I took these bags outside of the package I could tell they would not last. The zipper seams sturdy, but the bags themselves are made of a cheap material. Zip lock bags are sturdier. I attempted to pack my first item and the zipper got cought in the bag and immediatley tore the bag. I would not recommend them to any one.
thee product information on online does include what they are made of. Samsonite has a similar product, about the same price. I would recommend them instead. ITW Space Compressible Bag BRS-9212ZG Vacuum-Seal Travel Roll Bags, Set of 4
