Zipping Bags on Steroids
I was very impressed with these bags. They are like regular zipping bags on steroids! The plastic is super thick and sturdy. And the closure is much more substantial than a regular bag. See my photo that compares the two. No way will this bag open accidentally. I like the different styles of bags that are available. The flat one is nice. The black bag offers some secrecy. ;-) The stand-up bag was great for keeping things from spilling out. I filled the bag with water and turned it upside down to see how water tight it was and there was a very small drip. These bags are called smelly proof and they definitely are. No smell escaped. I definitely recommend these bags as they seem extremely durable.
Smelly Proof bags really are...
I really wanted to take the Smelly Proof bags on a hike and leave them in the woods for a few hours; however, the manufacturer states "CAUTION - Do not use our bags as only layer of protection against animals". Therefore, I opted for a more controlled experiment using a pet dog and a pet cat. I put an open bag of their favorite treats in the bags and they showed zero interest. The bags seem very durable and have a solid zipper system, although I was able to cause a slow, small leak after putting a lot of weight on a bag filled with water.
The BEST reusable sealing bags!
Do you remember that one package you emptied and thought "hey this is pretty sturdy!" And you washed it out and reused it time and again even though it was too long and skinny? These bags are even better! They're sized to be easy to fill and easy to clean. Perfect for all types of camping and hiking and around the house, anywhere you've been trying to reduce your single use plastics. Specifically: * The plastic is extra thick and hefty, but still pliable enough to fold around to reduce volume. * The seals are easy to close, with a satisfying click so you know they're closed, but easy to open. * They come in clear or black if you're storing something that's light sensitive or private. I liked them so much I'm giving them as gifts to my hiking buddies.
Fantastic! My favorite reusable zip bags by far!
Took my snacks in one of these bad boys on a day hike to check it out. Tossed a bunch of chex mix in, sealed it, then let it bang around my bag with all the rest of my gear for 5 miles to the top of a mountain. When I opened my backpack, the smelly bag was sealed up just as tightly as when I started! My favorite thing, so far, though, is how easy it is to get a vacuum-tight seal. I've used Stashers and other reusable options in the past that were finicky, at best. The black option is great, too: I plan to use that one for trash or hygiene items on my next camping trip.
Handy for traveling -better than some others
I received these products for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review. These seem to be better than some other reusables on the market. They're much easier to clean and reuse. Although they are stiffer than ziplocks they hold the smells in better and are less liable for puncture. I don't know how many uses you could get out of them but I think they would hold up pretty well. I particularly like the expandable ones for dog food when traveling. I tried ice cubes for an ice pack and it worked pretty well.
Smell proof!
The bags were super practical and a great size for snacks, etc! I fit everything I needed for a day hike. I always pack fresh fruit and vegetables, so this sack held everything perfectly. Neither of us could smell any of the contents while the bag was sealed. After I was finished with my food I put the discard back in the bag and it was scent free.
Super tough and reusable!
I think these reusable bags are a great idea! I'm not the biggest fan of using ziplock bags since they all immediately end up in a landfill. These fix that! The bags are tough and the zipper is really strong. The only downside is that they are a bit tough to turn inside out to clean, but that's a minor thing. The durability of these bags is what I like the most. They will hold up to almost anything. Great for trail snacks or a sandwich.
Not practical for multiple items
The bags are definitely very sturdy and seal well. My issue with them is how dark they are. You can’t see what’s in them. For camping and packing items (food, toiletries, clothes) discerning what is in what, without opening each one is impossible. If you’re only taking one thing, and you remember what it is, then it’s great!
No variety in size
My biggest complaint is that the "variety" pack includes all the same size bags and they are all of a size that is too big. Maybe occasionally I would find this size useful, but I mostly like a sandwich or snack size type bag. There are very few times I would find this size useful and I don't want to mix separate food items together. The smell proof bag maybe useful but I only received one of these types of bags. Also, the bags are a little on the heavy side it seems.
Adequate storage bags
I am not in love with the lock system, although it's a just fine system. I generally just use them as a trash bag for backpacking. Overall, they're fine. They work.
