The Chestnut 8 Travel Space Saver Bags - No Vacuum or Pump - for Clothes - Reusable - Luggage Compression - Set of 4 L and 4 M Sacks - Transparent

These worked great for us, saved a lot of space ( we packed jackets and sweaters for Alaska), they do make your luggage a lot heavier since you call for so much more in these bags

What a product! I could not be more impressed with these space saver bags. I had to pack heavy jeans and sweaters for my last trip and was very concerned that I’d make it all fit in the piece of luggage I planned to use. The concept is very low-tech, not hard to figure out and the bags did what they claimed they could do. I didn’t roll mine, I laid them on a hard surface and sat on them till all the air was out. They worked exactly as I hoped for my departure and return trip home. No problems at all!

I needed this to tack the pace of a similar product I had purchased a similar product earlier this year to use for packing bulky winter clothing for a trip. I made the mistake of packing those during a move, sending them off, and then realizing I needed them to help with packing our suitcases for the move. So I bought these. I packed a standard size pillow individually in the smaller sized and was able to reduce their bulk dramatically. I also used them for bulky clothing (down insulated, sweatshirts, bathrobes) and they worked just as well. I have found the easiest way to use these is to seal them up and then lay on top of them on a softer surface, like a bed. This allows me to adjust my body weight around the product to get as much air out as possible and to get the air release to work since it can be a little finicky and requires some manipulating of that side of the bag for the air to come out. After I've removed as much air as possible this way, I then try to roll up the bag but usually at this point its very compressed and too difficult to roll much. All in all, it's a very simple process. While they definitely do what they are advertised to do, I had several come open during moving which caused them to lose their compact-ness. This didn't really cause a problem for us, they were already packed into suitcases and boxes by the time they came undone. But I think it could be problematic for others depending on the situation. The ones I had previously bought never gave me this issue, that's why I knocked one star off. Bottom line, they work but I can't say they work flawlessly.

Scenario: A family of four with two teens, two weeks in Spain over winter holiday, booked economy tickets so no checked luggage Solution: I bought two sets of these bags Each person had their own carry on wheel bag We made sure to be in an apartment with a washer at least every four days Outcome: We Nailed It. These bags are incredible. We weren't packing swimsuits and light clothing. We're talking jeans, sweaters, even our heavy jackets(buy puffer jackets!) were rolled up and essentially squeezed within an inch of their lives. And it all came together. I was worried that we would have to wear jeans and jackets on the 11hr flight from the west coast just to make room in our luggage. No need, all the bulky stuff was compressed. I even packed an extra bag (large) to hold our dirty laundry while away. Worked very well. Believe the reviews. These bags work, allowing you to conserve space and take advantage of those great deals out there on economy tickets. Even the large international carriers are holding you to carry on bags, so it's time we get really smart and crafty.

Wasn't that impressive, vacuum bags work better

I LOVE these bags! I have ordered 3 sets and will continue to buy them until my house is completely organized. The 2 sizes are great-I can stuff 2 pillows in 1 and compress down to less than 1/2 the size of one pillow, Also would hold 1 comforter or probably 1 or 2 blankets depending on how big they are. I use the smaller ones for clothing, and they hold a lot! Adult womens size, I have fit 10+ t-shirts or 4-5 sweater/sweatshirts in each one. I haven't used them for pants yet. What used to take up 1/2 of the top shelf in my closet is now stacked in 5 of the small bags at the end of the shelf. They are easy to use and actually stay sealed. The manufacturer directions are very good. The only tip I would add is that if you really stuff them full(which I do), before you start rolling from the top put a little pressure on the middle of the bag with your hand and get the vents to pop and start releasing air. Also if you have a hard time getting them started pull the clothing (or whatever) away from the very bottom of the bag. I actually sit on them after I cannot get out any more air with my hands. They would be excellent for traveling. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

It does not look like it should work but it definitely reduces volume of clothes (in this case flannel shirts, socks, underwear, and pants) by about 50%. Prepare to sit on the bag to squeeze all the air out of it. Other reviews have complained about the sealing tab breaking off the bag. I think they have changed the design. The selling tab is separate and you apply it after the bag is ready to seal. Just make sure you know where you put it in your bag. It is strictly speaking, not required. It does make the seal a bit easier. The bags seem pretty tough. They are cheap enough that if they only make a few trips to Europe, that is fine.

I bought a set of these in 2023. They were great! I wore them out / lost them / let friends have one when they were in a pinch to the point that I needed more. They are no longer the same quality. The slider is no longer enough to seal them - you also have to run your fingers across the zipper. However, you can then watch the bag decompress and air seep in. If I hadn't thrown away several of these on my trip, I'd return them.

I bought those bags for travel and general home use. A huge plus of those bags are they do not require vacuum to pump out the air. Could not find it on resorts while travelling, my luggage was always a mess on the way home. Those bags are well made, thick and strong enough, and came in 2 sizes: 4 larger ones - 28x20” (good for home storage) and 4 smaller ones – 16x24” (good for travel). I’ve already tested both and extremely satisfied with the results! - The large size bags comfortably hold a couple of queen size comforters and sleeping bags for camping, with air out their size reduces by at least 70%. If you have such a small closet space like mine, you will appreciate. - The smaller bags are very good to pack bulky sweaters, scarfs, puffers in your luggage. I uploaded a couple of photos, the one of them shows the difference between a pillow and “packed” pillow.

Works great

These are better than what i expected. We decided to use these for travelling on our up coming trip. The idea was to take everything that we use in a suitcase and only take carry on. They worked really well and quit surprisingly just as good with out a vacuum pump. Just place your clothes in the bags and seal it up. Roll to push out the air and you would think you have used a vacuum. Save space in the carry on for sure.

Fit well into suitcases and allowed me to take extra clothes in my carry on. Slider tabs fall off almost immediately but bags still work perfectly without them.
