   I purchased these last year and have used them not only for a recent move, but for vacation and camping travel. We almost always drive for vacation and use these for blankets and clothing, rather than suitcases. For bulkier items like blankets and pillows, we vacuum bag them first to save space and place those inside with the small vacuum pump for the return trip. They zippers aren’t the best quality, as we found when we tried to pack blankets and pillows as is, resulting in a zipper failure, which is the reason we pivoted to vacuum bags. They are also easy to fold back up after use to reduce storage space.

   These were also super useful for clothing, linens, etc. during recent moves, easier to carry than boxes, and protect contents from getting wet, though I wouldn’t recommend securing them on a roof rack or truck bed by themselves.

The tip about using vacuum bags for the bulkier blankets and pillows is especially helpful! I also love that they fold back up easily for storage.
