Product Description
Imagine... Tripling your storage space at a fraction of the cost of adding extra closets; Protecting your valuable belongings from damage caused by dirt, water, bugs, mildew and odors; Packing more in your suitcase, backpack, boat or RV, and keeping packed items protected; Using your garage, attic and basement as storage areas without fear of damage to your belongings; Space Saver Bag.
BEING ORGANIZED! Space Bag products enable you to do all of this...and more. Most of the bulk in bulky items (like comforters) is really air. When you remove the air, you reduce bulk. Space Bag is designed so that you can remove the air and "shrink" the items stored inside by as much as 75%, so they take up less room.

 Useful for travel, but with a quirk or two November 13, 2009

I don't quite understand some of the other reviews; they indicate 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). Sometimes this product (or other versions of it with different numbers of bags) is part of Amazon's 4-for-3 promo, so be on the lookout.
As a side note, I do use the regular non-travel space bags with on issues and find them to perform exactly as they are supposed to even after years of being in storage.

I purchased these bags for my husband who travels quite extensively. He is trying to pack more into a carry-on so he doesn't have to check his bags as often. These bags have been extremely helpful for him in doing just that. At first I was hesitant to purchase these because there have been some reviews that they are not sturdy. He hasn't had any problems whatsoever, so I am rating them a five! Also, we had trouble finding these specific travel bags locally, so purchasing them on Amazon was the way to go.

In my last trip, I went to Denmark, and I am very grateful to these roll bags, they work very well and help you to organize your packaging. I wouldn't travel without them again.

I was able to pack my toddlers and my own clothes in a carry on bag with extra shoes. It was very easy to use and lasted. I will be using again very soon. Even if they only last 4 trips I will have saved money from not having to check baggage!

They are not air tight. I bought a package of the travel Space bags that you role the air out of instead of vacuum out. Initially they seemed to work, but by a day later, all the bags had filled with air again. I tried several times with different sealing methods and fewer or different items in them, but the result was always the same. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Most of the reviewers here had the same problem. I purchased a roll of clear, industrial type office trash bags that did the same job much better and for far less money.
