Eagle Creek Pack-It Compression Sac Set, M-L Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)(to the tune of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson)
They told us "Don't you ever come here again
With more than one suitcase, for the aero-plane"
The fire's in their eyes and their rules are just a pain
So pack it, just pack it.
Get Eagle Creek and you can skip the headache
Fitting all your clothes is now a piece of cake
They wanna be tough, and they won't give you a break
So pack it, and show them who's bad
Just pack it, pack it, pack it, pack it
Make yourself a pile and stack it
Just seal it and roll, it isn't an art
Squeeze out the air and it sounds like a f@rt
So pack it, pack it (repeat 3 times)Pros: (in prose)
1.I've tried other packing compressors, and have found Eagle Creek to be the sturdiest and best made
2.Idiot proof instructions are printed directly on the bags
3.Put your clothes inside the bag, seal the open end with the zipper, and then simply roll it, so that all the air gets squeezed out through the special one-way valves at the other end.
4.They really work! A pile of clothes that would otherwise take up half your suitcase can be compressed into flat and compact packages that are easy to pack
5.You can use it to safely separate your dirty clothes or wet swimwear from the rest of your belongings
6.You can fit all your clothes and still have room for all the keepsakes (or junk) that you've bought.
7.Kids have a great time helping to squeeze out the air.Cons:
1.After frequent hard labor, the closing thingy can come off from the zipper. However, it's quite easily reattached, or you can close the zipper by hand like a Ziploc bag.
2.You have to remember not to use it for packing sharp objects. Like a balloon, one hard jab and it's gone.
3.Other people in the room may not believe you when you point to the bag as the source of the embarrassing noises they just heard.Overall, I'd recommend this brand to anyone who needs to maximize packing space when traveling, especially with the new luggage requirements.Amanda Richards, August 24, 2008

Athalon Packing Cubes - Set of 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like these cubes, but they take up much more space than I had thought. I think, perhaps, if I bought more I'd get the ones that can be vacuum packed that I've seen and heard about from friends.

Samsonite Space-Savers Set of 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The concept for using these items is very good in that they prevent your clothes from shifting in your luggage and getting wrinkled as opposed to staying in one place within the bags and wrinkle free. But getting the bags to close and stay closed was difficult. The pull tabs kept coming off so just lining up the strips to adhere together and pushing out the air was a chore. But they worked good once you were able to accomplish this.

These unique, reusable storage bags enlarge the capacity of your suitcase up to 100% by compressing your travel wardrobe.
Just load, seal and roll to squeeze-out the excess air that creates bulk...so you can pack more in less space
Ideal for shirts, sweaters, overcoats, jackets- even blankets and pillows; also great for packing dirty clothes and wet swimsuits and towels
Airtight, watertight and transparent (so contents are easy to identify
Heavy-gauge construction for extra durability
Set includes 2 large and 2 medium Space-Savers

Athalon Luggage 4 Pc Set Of Packing Cubes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this item, since it only showed one cube in the picture. It arrived as a set of four (as shown in other listings for this item, but at higher prices)--so definitely choose this listing. The quality was not as classy as what I expected from the pictures, however. The blue cube, for example, is a bright duffel bag blue, rather than a muted blue.

Travelon Set of 2 Compression Packing Bags Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a Massage Therapist in Oregon, and travel between my offices by bicycle. I use these bags to protect my clothes and sheets from dampness and to compact everything so it will fit in my panniers. Try getting 6-7 sets of sheets on a bike! I am pretty rough on them, because I am rushing from one place to the other to make my appointments. Many of the manufacturers have bags which fall apart, for instance the "Space Bags." I have used the Travelon and Eagle Creek bags for the last month, 5 days a week, and have found them both to my liking. The Eagle Creek are heavier duty, and their zip lock plastic runner is more likely to stay on the bag than the Travelon. Both will come off though. This is a minor inconvenience. One of the things, besides their better construction, that make both of these products better than the Space Bag (available at Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, and Amazon) is the ease of which I can bleed the air out. The Space Bag valve takes so much effort that it puts stress on the already weak plastic so the bag pops and fails. A Space bag will last me about 2 weeks. The Travelon price is lower than the Eagle Creek, about $13 for two vs. $20 for two Eagle Creek, but the Eagle Creek is so much stronger that I think it will give longer service in harsh backpacking and bicycle touring environments which I am using it in. The Eagle Creek material has a mesh plastic embedded into the layers of the plastic, and the Zipper is much heavier-duty plastic than the Travelon. If I was using it for only traveling on an airplane, the Travelon will be excellent. It is really a matter of getting what you pay for.

Lewis N. Clark Compression Packers 3 Piece Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used these bags to pack my son's suitcase for his 10-day trip to Italy. I was a little skeptical due to the low price but purchased based on user reviews as you've got to trust those Amazon reviewers! Figuring out the compressing of the bag was a little tricky on the first one - had to use a little elbow grease to get the air locks to open and release air. However, once we got the hang of it on the first one, the rest were a breeze. We were able to pack enough clothes for a teenage boy for 10 days and only filled the suitcase about 2/3 full. This left him plenty of room for souveniors on the way back. It also served well to organize his suitcase for the trip. I bought two sets and we divided his clothes by day so he could pull out one bag and have everything in it. We packed one pair of jeans and 2 t-shirts, pairs of socks and underwear in each bag. It worked great for him! He then used the bags for his dirty laundry to keep it separated from his clean clothes. We also packed an empty bag for damp swim trunks that didn't have enough time to air dry overnight. Just rolled them up by themselves in a bag and the rest of his clothes stayed dry. Would highly recommend.

Lewis N. Clark Belle Hop Travel Comfort Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently ordered this before a long plane trip and it worked pretty well. The pillow and blanket are great. They are both soft and comfortable to sleep with. My only complaint is that the face mask is not made out of the same soft fabric; its a more plastic-y feeling material. I don't normally use a face mask, so it wasn't a huge deal to me, but it if had been softer, I probably would have given it a try. But overall, this product makes plane rides a lot more comfortable and enjoyable. Well worth the price.

Pack-It Compression Sac by Eagle Creek Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Compression bags are excellent for puffy items that need to be stored or shipped. For traveling, I tend to forget that the weight of the object doesn't change even though the size of it has, and I overpack.
Easy to use, even for very bulky items. One bedcover I stored stayed air-tight until I opened it more than 8 months later.

Travel Accessories Samsonite Space Saver Bags Medium Packs Set of 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have not used these on a trip yet, but I have taken them out and checked that they were good and appeared to work. For a test, I put dirty clothes in them and collapsed them, then let them sit overnight. The next day, they were still collapsed, so I assume they will work when traveling.
I am giving them 4 stars as of now because they passed my preliminary test. I will be traveling to the Far East in October, and will report back on how these worked visiting hot, humid climates and storing damp and wet clothes in them. Based on my preliminary tests, I expect them to work well, but reality often dashes expectations. ;)
Pluses:
Prime eligible
Seems to work as advertised
Minuses:
None at this time
UPDATE 10/30/2010:
I used these on a vacation to Thailand, and they worked perfectly! Wet swimsuits and sandy clothes were kept separated from the other clothes, and made it easier to pack the suitcase. These work, and work well...even after packing and unpacking multiple times, I still have all of them and they all still work. Updating to 5 stars.
