Samsonite Compression Packing Bags, Clear, 12-Piece Kit (2-Pouch/4-Carry-On/4-Large/2-X-Large

Been using them for years. Great product

I love these packing bags. I couldn’t find them in any local stores so a helpful employee at a luggage store found them for me online. These were extra useful in packing compactly for overseas travel, three flights, and a cruise. It’s amazing how much space is saved by expressing air out of the bags. Minor complaint: the little zipper part slides off easily so you have to keep an eye on them. Would be more effective if they were permanently attached. I could have used fewer enormous bags and more midsized ones. Still a five star rating for practicality and price.

Was super excited for these as we’re going on a trip to NYC and only bringing backpacks to avoid lots of luggage. We wanted to be sure we had enough for our 4 day adventure, but not overstuff the backpacks. I just tried out the “pouch” size and got about a dozen pairs of socks and rolled up the bag to seal! It’s way more secure and compact and I feel like these will be great at saving some space! I only gave the product 4 stars because I haven’t actually used them on the trip to see how they hold up. I’ll try to remember and come back for a follow-up! So far so good!

I bought these last minute before a trip because the brand new cheap knockoff bags I purchased simply would not stay compressed. I will not make that mistake again.Samsonite is definitely the way to go for these bags. I love the variety of sizes in this package; they worked out very well for my trip, and the larger ones are now being used at home for storing some clothing. I expect these to last for quite a while.

Most of the smaller bags work fine and have held their seal but the very large ones do not hold the seal, and one of the nozzles actually broke off one of the very large bags so that bag is now completely useless, though not very useful to begin with! Really tough to manage when I'm using them solely for travel purposes.

We had to pack for a 6 week trip through 3 countries, and wanted to travel with the smallest luggage possible. So we thought we'd give these compression bags a try, but I didn't expect them to make much of a difference.I was so very pleased with how effective they were! It was amazing how much more we could pack into our luggage, and it truly was a game changer. With some clothes, such compression will inevitably produce wrinkles, but that was a non-issue for us. I'd say we had to steam/iron a few items maybe 2-3 times over those 6 weeks...Not a lot, but not zero.As for using them, we found a lot of luck with rolling the bags to get them as compressed as possible.

Fraudulent item. These are advertised as "Samsonite Compression ... 12-Piece Kit" but it's actually only TWO compression bags and 10 useless bags. This bait and switch item should instead notify buyers in one of the first descriptions of the product that only two of 12 bags can be compressed.Also, the seal does not feel strong or premium. It is average or below average. There's no reason to buy this product. You can get 2 compression bags for much less than $16 that I paid.I want a refund but cannot get one because I bought this too soon prior to my travel and the refund window is now closed and now I have only 2 compression bags instead of 12 to use.

These bags were amazing! They helped me pack for my last beach trip and I could fit so many clothes in my suitcase as compared to previous times. Very sturdy and easy to use AND you can fit so many things in the different sizes they provide in the box. I’m definitely going to order more of these!
