Starter Pack

Having the zipper at the edge allows you to grip the corner and makes the bag way easier to open than another brand I have with the zipper down the middle. The zipper gel was a great addition too! Also the material feels more substantial than the previous brand I bought but they included a patch kit just in case!

Using the bags takes a little getting used to, but they are simple enough. They do compress clothes well. The large, medium, and small bags all fit in my 26 x 18 x 12-14 in expandable spinner suitcase with enough room to spare for a large toiletries case, couple pairs of shoes, and some outerwear. Pump operates easily, though I think I might have trouble if I ever want to change the nozzle/adaptor. Inconvenient for a tour that included changing hotels every day- a lot of unpacking and repacking- but the pump didn't need a recharge at all during the 10 day trip.

I shared them with my wife, she just loves them.
