JML VacPac Vacuum Seal Storage Bags
Why I bought them...
A large quantity of bedding, clothes and other odds and ends that needed to be transported over two hundred miles from home to my narrowboat in readiness for my next cruise was causing me a real problem. Since retiring to enjoy my boat and freedom, my income has dwindled to nil and downsizing is the name of the game. My car has downsized too, now a little Ford KA, great for shopping but pretty useless for anything involving luggage or bulk.

Advantages: Space Saving Ideas for Home and Abroad Disadvantages: None I can think of
I love this idea, whoever thought this up is a genius. A lot of families have storage problems my main pain in the backside is lack of room for excess bedding that i keep spare for guests and what not, So this is magnificent, how the air can be sucked out of the bag with any pipe vacuum cleaner and reduce the size of package to less than a quarter of the size. Brilliant for duvets and pillows i might add and to top it all off it keeps all those bugs away and when you do unpack them they smell as good as the day you washed them and put the items in there. Excellent I would rate these to anybody you can even use them for going abroad and storing your much loved items and reducing space which we all know must happen when traveling on a plane think of the goodies you can bring back !!
Although I have never tries them in my suitcase while ...
Advantages: Versatile, durable, good weight capacity, multiple bike fitment Disadvantages: Black anodising fades
What no Fancy title?
It's a a rack. It goes on your bicycle. It carries stuff. Enough said.
I purchased this particular model because it had a Cycling Plus best buy, and had positive reviews elsewhere. I have a daily 22 mile commute, and need to carry quite a bit of kit, including shower stuff and a change of clothes - my walking rucksack was starting to get rather heavy. The rack comes in silver or black - I bought the black one. The Expedition is a heavy-duty rack, weighing in at 900g with a carrying capacity of 30kg, and comes with a handy bracket for mounting a rear light. The multi-mount fitting system is designed to fit a wide range of bicycles.
Out of the box
The rack certainly looked the business. It appeared to be well constructed, with tidy wields, good quality anodising, and all screws were stainless ...
