Hiya does anyone know where's the best place to buy vacuum packs please? I want to get some to pack my clothes in for the roof top box.

I tried doing a search but can't find the "search in message body link" anymore.

Thankyou in advance

Sue

Put vacuum into the search in the equipment forum and voila.

I remember it as a topic last week.

Hope that helps.

We bought some in Woolworths just last week for a tenner, thats cheaper than Argos. You get three in the box, two big and one small, and they've proved to be very good.

Sue they are really good but check them out before you travel as some of them fail badly.  We also found trapping them beneath heavier stuff helped them stay packed.  JML do them as well as Matalan and Superdrug - our Superdrug had them in last weekend for sure.  They saved our bacon last year, without them we would hve been stuffed I can tell you!

HI SUE, I use the space saver bags from Matalans £4 for 3 (S,M,L) you just put your stuff in seal the end and lay on it and the air disappears!! Always use these ones when i go camping!!  They are brilliant as ur clothes dont get damp as you can just re-seal the bags!!
