Travel Essentials Compression Bags, 12 Clothes Bags and 4 Shoe Bags for Cruise Luggage Accessories (16-Travel)

It works great and the price is amazing! So many bags! The plastic part does come off but you can easily put it back on and use fingers to close the front side of the bag

These are fantastic to bring on international travels, especially during the cold times. We were able to fit some pretty thick jackets and sweaters very easily in our suitcase with plenty of room to spare! It’s easy to use, though you do need some strength to push the air out. But for the value and simplicity of it, I highly recommend for being able to squeeze in a lot of clothes in any luggage.

Pretty good bags. I needed to pack ski gear-(puffy coat, and snow panta for my granddaughter. These bags really helped. Put it in, ran the slider mechanism back and forth, rolled it down and laid on it a little. It turned into a flat pancake. Tried it again with some of my clothing and had more trouble getting the air out. Had to open and close it a few times to be successful. That’s why I took one star away.

I got these for our honeymoon abroad and managed to fit 9+ days worth of clothes, toiletries, AND a wedding dress into my carry on by using these bags! I'm an over-packer, so for me that was particularly impressive. I used a large one for the wedding dress and then two smaller ones for clothing. I liked how these didn't require a vacuum or air pump to use, and chose these over packing cubes because I felt like they would save a little more space. Brought some wrinkle spray and a tiny travel steam iron for wrinkles, but depending on how you pack and what you're packing, I didn't have too many wrinkles. They made it through the entire trip without issue and have continued to hold up well (I bought them 2+ years ago, but don't use them unless we're traveling for long periods of time). These bags take some trial and error to get the hang of, so I would do a test-run a day or so before the trip. The main thing is to fold everything as flat and as square as possible and pack it in the bag neatly using up the entire space. I also would tend to make it bulkier toward the seem side to give room at the air-release side as you roll up the bag. Whenever we got to a new destination, I would usually take out anything that I wanted to use that could get really wrinkled and leave it out. We moved locations every couple days, and the repacking wasn't as daunting as you might think as long as you have some practice. I would just make sure that you organize accordingly so you don't have to open up every bag that you bring all at once, but sealing it back up isn't too much of an issue. I also packed these flat as I felt that it saved more room than keeping them rolled up.

works to compress on a shelf. It does let you push the air out after you zip it, but it slowly inflated in my suitcase w plane travel. large sturdy noisy plastic 'ziploc' - but the clip falls off(just pull open/ push shut bag). it doesnt stuff and close as well as ziploc. I switched to ziploc bags while on my intl trip. You just press out the air as you close and it stays small and closed. The huge one is big but the smaller ones - just get XL ziploc they work better

These work fantastic over and over again. I can get double the amount packed into my suitcase with these. They are so easy to use and do not require a vacuum, just your hands. I like that there are no sharp edges, the plastic isn’t stiff, it doesn’t get signs of use and can be used easily over and over. The seal I strong so odors from damp or dirty clothes don’t spread in your suitcase.

I know these aren't exactly a new invention, but I was very impressed with these. It doesn't seem like they'd do much better than a particularly thick ziplock bag, until you use them and are blown away by how easy they are. Was able to fit 10 days worth of clothing in 1 large checked suitcase. Having the instructions on the bag themselves is convenient and helped make sure not to use them wrong. No confusion about overloading them. No concerns about popping them. Everything fit nicely and neatly. I bought another brand afterward, because I miscalculated on how many things I'd need to pack. The cheaper one was thinner, didn't have instructions, and the little zipper clips kept falling off. If I had gotten those first, I probably would've had a worse time with the whole process.

They worked just as instructed - gave me a little extra room
