Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I travel extensively, usually with just a backpack (where space is at a premium), so I have used various compression bags like this over the years. Honestly, at an average of $1.80 each I was not expecting them to be anywhere near as good as the (much) more expensive ones I have used in the past. I WAS WRONG! These are EXCELLENT compression bags. The number and variety of sizes for the price is amazing. The biggest complaint seems to be "It is too hard to get the air out". That is sort of true, but easy to get around. First, once you "zip" the bag closed fold that end under once or twice (or else the pressure of the next step will open the "zipper"). Then I set the bag on a bed, and (literally) lay on the bag. Don't DROP on the bag... lay on it slowly. It will take a couple of seconds till the vents open, but once they open they stay open till the air is gone. Trust me, this works every time.
