My son just moved into college halfway across the country. We needed moving bags that would be sturdy, easy to pack and would all fit in the car for a 12 hour drive. These bags were just what we needed. They are made of a durable plastic material with reinforced fabric edges, two good quality zippers that could be secured with a TSA lock and handles that wrapped all the way around. Packed full with assorted items, clothes and bedding they weighed 20 - 30 lbs, far less than the 50 lbs maximum they will hold. They open with zippers around the top which proved to be a lifesaver as we didn’t expect to have so many small items to pack. Unlike other bags that open down the middle and sides, these top loading bags contained everything neatly which made packing them a breeze. I recommend you double bag everything because your student will need all the bags when they move out or fly home. Plus you never know how many bags you will need till the end, we had calculated five at first and ended up with seven the night before! So buy more than what you think you’ll need and return the extras, it sure beat trying to find boxes or bags last minute. Seven bags plus several boxes fit perfectly in a midsize SUV with the second and third rows down. The car has 92 cubic feet of cargo space as a reference. The beautiful grey color blended in well with the car interior which camouflaged them when we parked overnight at a hotel halfway to his college. We labeled each bag with the student name, dorm room and bag #___ out of ___ total. We locked each bag with neon green TSA locks and added bright neon green handles to help identify the bags in a sea of move in bags and for use later when flying. We found Amazon Basics medium size vacuum bags (6 with an included vacuum pump) worked very well to compress his winter coat and sweatshirts, as well as two cushions he brought for decoration and assorted computer cables. We also bought Amazon Basics packing cubes to pack his extra clothes in. In all, these moving bags are an excellent value for the money, I wish I had used them in the past in my moves as I was left with many boxes and plastic bins. As a side note he bought a Patagonia Black Hole 40L bag as his carryon and also used the Amazon Basics packing cubes with that. Read more
My son uses this for his dinosaur collection and action figure collection! They are huge! Easy to use! Clear in color. 10/10 Thickness of it makes it durable. The bag itself is light weight. Whatever you fill it with will be the weight and how easy it is to move. Comes with handles. Read more
Perfect for moving or hauling things to and from the car with less trips. Very sturdy bags. I bought both the clear & green ones, but prefer the clear ones to see what's inside from a distance. Card slot on the exterior to label each bag; I used an index card. Read more
These oversized moving bags were a lifesaver for my daughter's college move! They easily hold blankets, clothes, shoes, and so much more. Durable construction with strong handles and zippers that kept everything safe and undamaged. Great buy! Read more
Love the bags. They hold so much. The reason I gave it a 4 star. First, they are not actually clear, they are more opaque. I can see slightly see the colors but with many of the cloth I am not 100% sure what the items are. I just stuck an exclamation on the slot on the outside pocket and the inside of the bag using white paper with black marker. That combination is easier to read. Also no doubt because they are new, the zippers do not easily go around the corners without a real struggle. Size, strength of material and the carrying straps going all the way around instead of shorter straps sewn onto the plastic makes for very sturdy moving. They work fantastic for storing seasonal clothes, bedding, etc. Very happy that I purchased them. Well worth the money for the pack of six. Read more
Sturdy. Zipper quality is really good. Material thickness is perfect, nice and lightweight. Easy to pack into and move around. I fit 3 compressed comforters and some pillows and other odds and ends. Amazed at how much I can neatly store in these. Definitely a fan favorite in this house. Read more
We used these for moving and they worked great! These are a lot more convenient than boxes, since they have handles for easy carrying. They don't stack as well, obviously, but you can still stack about 4 tall. They hold a lot of stuff too. The best part is that they fold up small so we can keep them for the next time we move, or we can loan them out to others if they need to move. The reason we used these is because you can get in and out of them easily if you need to put something in or take something out, without having to open and re-tape a box. The things we moved in here may need to stay in storage for a little while, so it needed to be easily accessible, but also easy to store. Read more
I highly recommend these moving bags! They arrived the next day for delivery. I love that they arrived in a compact & folded up to make it easy for storing when not using. The thick straps that are reinforced throughout the bag are comfortable & sturdy. The bag material is a great quality. Also, the zipper seams are nicely constructed & durable too. I really appreciated that there were many color options to pick from, which is why I chose the pretty winter gray based off of another’s review saying how well the color camouflages it especially when moving/leaving in a vehicle. They stack perfectly on top of one another. The label holder is also a nice touch. It holds a 3x3 post it note to make it easier to identify the contents. Speaking of contents, the bag can hold four heavy thick blankets, a combo of blankets/pillows, or four standard size pillows. It is easy to carry and feels like a nice quality duffel bag. I am so happy with my purchase! I would definitely purchase again and/or give as a gift! Skip those pesky expensive moving boxes and invest in these bags for all of your moving/storage needs! Five Stars! Read more
