Title: Meh.
Product review: I've had a couple of the travel bags from Eagle Creek for ages and wanted a few more so I thought I'd try the "name brand." I'm not impressed. Everything about these is flimsier - the plastic, the zipper, the valves. The first one I used, the zipper mechanism broke. The Eagle Creek ones also have some texture in the plastic which seems to hold the items in place better when you're rolling it so you get a flatter package. With these, items tend to slide down as you roll, so you end up with a lumpy wedge. As another commenter wrote, they do work better and end up with flatter packs if you sit or lie on them to squeeze the air out rather than rolling. I will probably just use these as big ziplocs for storing already-flat stuff in the garage.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
