Pack-Mate® Original Roll Bags

Bought these five years ago when I was sailing Transatlantic and they were brilliant! All my clothes stayed dry and I could reduce them to barely anything at all with the air squeezed out which is important when storage on your yacht's at a premium! They did me proud for three crossings and time spent in the Carribean and though I'm land-based now I still have the bags and use them for holidays, they were a great investment.

I have used the travel bags for camping, backpacking and going on holiday and can honestly say they have been invaulable - not just for saving on space (especially in hand luggage) but I did a big trek last year and they kept everything in my backpack clean and dry. My fellow travellers were most envious! They seem to stay compressed but as they are travel bags I only tend to need them to work for a few days at a time. Perfect for what I need.

I bought a set of these bags four years ago and am now ordering a new set. They are absolutely superb. I never manage to edit my wardrobe down to a few essential pieces for my trips, and this way I can take everything with me. Just make sure you do not do what I did, get the plastic caught in a metal zipper, because that is the end of the airtightness. Hence the purchase of new bags. Fantastic for my four week holiday on a sailing yacht on the Mediterranean. I would highly recommend them.

Bought these last week as I was trying to fit as much into a carry on suitcase as possible for a Hen Night and these were amazing - managed to get much more in than I expected and I managed to keep my damp stuff from my last day on the beach away from everything else and so stopped everything in my case becoming damp! Great idea and well worth the money!

These bags are wonderful when travelling. Took them with me on a round the world trip and they proved one of the most useful things in my luggage. So easy to use and I could carry double the items in my bag! To be honest i do prefer these to the vacuum ones as just more usable in situations when you don't have a vacuum! and they also help to strengthen your arms. hehe.
