Anyone ever use the "Space Savers" bags?

I was wondering if they really work. Are they worth investing in? I'm talking about the smaller ones where you just roll the extra air out of them. I was thinking not only of saving space, but protection against whatever may be crawling around the luggage space of the airplane.

I have used regular ziploc baggies to do the same thing. That way, if there are any liquids floating around, my stuff stays dry!!

I did use the roll out the air type when my dd went to college. They worked fine as well.

We use space bags every trip. They work really well.

If you are using the space bags with full-size suitcases, however, it can be easier to get your bag over the weight limit resulting in significant charges.

I was thinking of packing a suitcase and weighing it. Then transferring the clothing to a space saver bag for transportation.
