We use them to save space when packing up our gear.

Use your home cleaner to pack them from home and get an electric air pump (same as you use for airbeds etc) and use the extraction nozzle to suck out the bags again.

Hi

I use these and find them really useful.  Bought some for Marks and Spencer this year, £6 each or 2 packs for £9.50. 

Dont use a vacuum with them, just pop stuff in, use the enclosed zipper and then roll them up until most of the air has been pushed out.  We put our sleeping bags and pillows in them and then they sit on the back seat.  Without them, we would not be able to see out the car rear window. Also great when we get home as they fit nicely under the spare bed.

Hope this helps.

There was a long thread about these a few days ago - you'll get loads more opinions if you do a search for it.

Waste of money.  We got the ARGOS ones.  They can be squashed by sitting on them & this works well.  Until they burst.

They're fab! without them we wouldn't be able to take half the stuff we do!

We've used the same one a few times now and never has it let in any air. We use the coleman quick pump to deflate, it works as well as the vacuum at home!

I got ours from ebay, they're the jumbo ones so they fit 2 double quilts 10 fleece blankets and 4 pillows with room for more. I think I paid 11 quid for 2... Well worth the money!

all the ones weve tryed only lasted about 3 trips then they break or get holed but they do save alot of space.
