    Default Ziplock Big-Bags

    I was on the Ziplock site this morning and found that they have a new product - Ziplock big bags for storage:
    Large 1.25 ft. x 1.25 ft., 5 per box
    Xtra Large 2 ft. x 1.7 ft., 4 per box
    XXtra Large 2 ft. x 2.7 ft., 3 per box

    Has anyone seen or used these? How heavy are they?

    They are fantastic! In fact, Queen Diva passed out many of them at SORUCK! Her brother is a plastics engineer and developed them!

    Don't know the exact weight but, I would say they are proportionate in size/weight to ziploc freezer bags.

    Quite Handy!!

    I saw commericals for them. They would make a good bag liner, or sleeping bag sack.

    Default Zip

    I got mine at Bass Pro Shop and they still carry them. They were located in the Outdoor department.

    Anybody know if they are carrying them in regular stores (Target, WalMart, etc.)? Since they are marketing them as household storage, it seems they would be sold in such places.

    yea, these work very well! i was out for 3 weeks this summer and used one for my sleeping bag (which i would completely recommend--a little condensation is better than a chance of getting soaked from rain, b/c I don't really trust stuff sacks for waterproofing). it had plenty of creases, but I think it would have held out for another few weeks. i think i used the extra large. Oh, also we used them for hanging food at night--waterproof and the handles were strong enough to hold up the huge load of food usually (unless we had just stocked up)

    I saw the XL ones in Kroger yesterday. They were next to the other ziplock bags.

    Darn it, I was in a Kroger buying greens for the iguana yesterday before I saw this.
