 Keeps stuff dry, not very durable December 4, 2009

I've used aloksaks many times, mainly for keeping electronics and maps dry while kayaking and adventure racing. They work well if you follow the instructions on the bag. They tend to scratch easily, which isn't a problem unless you're trying to read a map that is inside one.
I have had a few of the zippers rip away from the rest of the bag, which is kinda a problem, but that is usually because I am rough with them.
It's worth noting that if you want to get rid of the black lettering on the outside of the bag, use a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol and they rub right off! Again, useful if trying to read a map through the bag.
All in all a good bag, but you may need a few extras on hand due to the average to poor durability. Spend the extra money, don't use a regular ziplock bag, or your goods WILL get wet.

I am a passionate fly fisherman. My avocation takes me all over the world--places where cameras, SAT phones, GPS's and documents all get wet....and ruined.
For years now, I have relied on Aloksak bags (and packets of dessicant) to keep the important stuff dry. At any given time, I have half a dozen on board my flats boat in the Florida Keys.
The bags are all they claim to be. They are the ultimate alternative to Zip Lock freezer bags!
If only the platic was a wee bit thicker!

The measurements given are outside measurements, including the area beyond the zip. So the bags hold less than you think.
Subtract an inch for the zip, and you will have a better idea of size. The bags seem very sturdy and leak proof.

Hoping to be comfortable taking my Amazon Kindle poolside, I got these bags (9 X 6) before vacation. Since the Kindle measures only 5 3/8 inches by 8 1/4, it should fit.
Wrong. These bags measure only 5 1/4 by 8 3/4 inside the zipper.
They do a great job keeping out the water, just don't plan on putting something that is 6X9 into them.

I have had issues with these bags:
1) I have thought I have sealed these bags, only to find they weren't sealed when I came back to them. The seal on these may be more water tight when closed properly and not agitated, but the seal seems surprisingly flimsy, it comes open much more easily than a standard sandwich bag, and it's a little difficult to tell if they are sealed properly.
2) I had one bag come completely apart at a seam near the ziploc, after just a couple of uses. I'm not sure why these bags even have the extra seam there, but it made me feel really insecure about trusting these bags (not to mention, the bag no longer worked after just a couple of uses). Pulling the bag open puts stress on this seam.
3) Overall, with the 200ft depth rating, I really expected these bags to seem more heavy duty and secure. All-in-all, I feel safer putting stuff in two ziploc baggies (bag inside a bag) than I feel using these dry bags. Maybe I'm fooling myself, but that's my impression after using these bags and also using standard freezer baggies, etc. (which feel much more substantial than these bags).
Note that I have not actually done comparative testing to see which hold out water better. Sorry, I wanted to like these bags...
