Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for business travelers, road trippers, and families on vacation, this set of four vacuum-seal bags helps create up to twice as much storage space, whether in a suitcase or backpack or in a closet, ready and waiting for the next trip. To use, simply add the items to be stored and, starting at the zippered end, roll the air out through the one-way valve to "shrink" the items stored inside. The bags not only compress bulky items for more compact storage, but they also create an airtight and watertight seal for protection against dirt, moisture, mildew, bugs, and odors. In addition, the transparency of the bags can speed items through airport security checks, and their reusable design means space-saving convenience year after year. The set of four travel bags includes two carry-on-size bags, each measuring 13-1/2 by 19-1/2 inches, and two suitcase-size bags, each measuring 18 by 22-1/2 inches.
Product Description
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 Bags Work.,

ITW Space Bag BRS-9212ZG Travel Roll Bags: 4 Pack - 2 Carry-On and 2 Suitcase Size Bags
I bought the Space Bag Travel Roll Bags four years ago when I moved to Texas from Florida. I have since moved four times and for each move these bags were invaluable. I felt compelled to write because someone complained they were impossible to get the air out of them. I follow the instructions on the bags and don't overfill them, and run the plastic tab over the opening until it's really sealed. Then I roll them and sit/kneel on them on a rug or similar surface to get resistance...and I'm no Amazonian woman, but I can get the air out of them. They're actually a lot of fun to own. I've used them while camping and air traveling too. I watched my suitcase from the plane get completely soaked, but I wasn't worried about my clothes b/c I knew they'd be dry, and they were (it was everything else in the bag that was soaked). So... in short, I recommend them.

These Bags Work!,

I have traveled to Europe, Guatemala, and around the USA with these bags and they work! It sometimes takes a bit of knack to get them to release the air as you roll them up. You also have to not cram them totally full before you roll them up as this will block the exhaust valve.
Not only do the Space Bags save space, they help me to organize my clothes and keep clothes from wrinkling. I always pack a couple of extra Space Bags to cover any purchases I make while traveling. The only downside to these bags is they are a bit thin and sometimes get a hole in them after a few trips. All in all, the Space Bags are great!I never pack a suitcase without them.

I purchased these since I travel a lot. I always prefer to travel all carry on. Sometimes my bag needs a little more space. These seem to help. They are basically like a very large ziplock bag with a special zipper. The zipper allows you to roll up your clothes to get our all of the air from the bag. By doing this, your bags become a lot thinner. They are very easy to use. Although in the process of using them, I made a few observations:
1. In a smaller suitcase (like a carry on) you may not get the full value from these. They work better in a larger suitcase. 2. Most airlines have a 50lb weight limit on suitcases. Compressing out the air out of your clothes doesn't remove weight. So you may want to verify how heavy your bags are before you get to the airport. 3. Since I was able to get so much more in my carry on bag, TSA had to hand check it. They claimed that the machine couldn't see through everything I had in there. Fortunately, they didn't want to open up and look in all of these space bags. During this hand check I realized that it is possible that the may want to and how big of a pain that would be. None of these things are deal breakers for these. You just need to use them a few times and figure out the best way that they can work for you. I am anxious to see how they are going to work for an upcoming family Vacation for My wife and I are taking our three kids on. ---------------- UPDATE: MAY 2010 I have noticed that these rip easily. I mean, it is a glorified ziplock bag. I went on a trip and the bag ripped, so now all the stuff that fit into my carry on bag had to be really shoved back in to get home. YMMV
