5pc Compression Bag Set - Open Story™

The bags don't deflate when attempting to compress. It just pops the closure.

Not happy with these bags. I have used several type including the original Space Bags. These did not perform well.

The 5pc Compression Bag Set - Open Story™ is going to save me a ton of time and space when I am packing for my next getaway. There are multiple sizes of bags that I can use for my various items to keep them organized.

These storage bags are useful for sweaters and smaller items. Would not fit blankets or other bulky items. You can squeeze the air out without having to use the vacuum, if needed. I would recommend for storing seasonal wardrobe items.

DO NOT BUY!!! It doesn’t seal properly nor let any air out. It’s a waste of money. You are just paying for big ziplock bags.

The BEST and only storage bags you should buy. I was able to pack 2 weeks of wardrobe into 1 suitcase for the plane. You do not need a vacuum to seal! Love these bags, will only buy these from now on.

This compression bag set has a good mix of sizes for different needs. The 2 large, 2 medium and 1 small are a good range and fit most needs. It is easy to load each bag and seal it with the slider. The pushing out of the air takes a bit of effort, but does work very well. I like that they are transparent to be able to easily see what is inside each one. If this was easier to get the air out, it would easily be a 5.

These are okay. I'd say it really is hard to find a good storage bag these days that actually stays sealed. Initially these stayed sealed but let out a little air not keeping it tight. They are better than the last brand I bought and I actually really like the different sizes since we mainly use them for our girl's clothes.

I used these to store some winter clothes. Fluffy, thick sweaters and such. I used one of the medium sized bags. I like that it includes different sizes. It didn’t compress as much as I thought it would. However it was easy to use, just squeeze out the air and seal. I would like if it had somewhere to label the contents of the package. I may try it for my next trip to see how it helps save space in my suitcase.

“I received these products for free from the Hey, Bullseye™ sampling program in exchange for my honest review.” You get 5 bags in this set, 2 LG, 2 MED, 1 SM. The bags are heavy vinyl with a zip closure. The zip slide does pop off if not careful, but I was able to get it back on and the bag did work. I tested with a 50X60 in fleece blanket in the medium bag and it did reduce considerably in thickness. The Zip opening does create a smaller area that made it somewhat a challenge to stuff the blanket in. You zip the closure about half way and then roll the air out of the bag and holding in place finish closing. Priced at $19.99 I could see value in using this while packing for vacation or storing away summer clothes. Not sure it would handle heavy sweaters or thick full-sized bed blankets.

These are not great, but they are also not terrible either. They do seem to give a little bit more space than you woud have if you didn't use them, but it's nothing to write home about. I feel like they don't do a great job if you use them with a lot of clothes. They probably work best when they only have a few clothing items inside of them. The whole "rolling" aspect of these is difficult and I don't think it's hugely effective. You would probably save more space just using packing cubes.

These do not use a vacuum to seal. You roll it/ use your body to get the air out & seal it as you do. These are a great option if you don’t have a vacuum or if you’re traveling. They definitely don’t get as flat as the vacuum seal ones but still a good option.

These compression bags make packing for a trip extremely easy! They are easy to use without the use of a vacuum and the 5 piece set is perfect for all your needs. I love all the different sizes for all my packing needs.

This compression set comes with 5 bags- 1 small, 2 medium and 2 large. Very easy to use and I love how you can manually compress the air which makes traveling much easier as this saves space in luggage.

Easy to use, great for storing seasonal clothes

Repackable- opening and closing the bag was easy for the whole family. While vacuum seal might be better for long term storage, these worked great for travel away from home. The bags kept clothes closed and sealed off to bed bugs moving through hotels in Europe for 10+ days. The largest bag is a little unwieldy but we could make it work.

Pretty easy to use but they really don’t hold much. Wish the pack included more of the larger bags as the little ones barely hold a small blanket and would mostly be used for wash cloths and baby clothes.

These work pretty well, I needed to pack a very large winter coat into a carry on suitcase. It helped a lot!

Doesn’t hold a seal, cool my clothes are all bagged but this did not help save space in my luggage and I don’t have time to find something else. Did everything as instructed was very happy went to put it all in my luggage and they were no longer vacuumed literally just bagged up my clothing. You can hear the air sucking back into the bag

Bought more than I anticipated on a trip so dropped by target to pick these up before flying home. They saved me a little space, but not very much especially considering the price, there are a lot of better options out there if you’re not in a pinch and can buy ahead of time. I suppose if you don’t fill the bag very much, it makes it easier to roll out.. but if you have thick sweaters or a jacket, it’s pretty hard to roll to where you’ll be able to push a substantial amount of air out of the end. I would stick to a vacuum/hand pump system. Even if you have to pack the small hand pump, it will take up less space than using these will ever save you.
