SUPERB

totally waterproof, airtight so you can compress them down really well.

Slightly thin material and the seam tapes tend to come loose after a period of time.

Excellent. Great at keeping your kit dry and organised.

GREAT

Weight (or lack of).
Waterproofness.
Colours.

Probably not great for prolonged submersion.

I have three of these in different sizes and they are great. I don;t bother with a pack liner and just stick stuff that needs protecting from the elements in these. I'd suggest getting a range of differently sized ones so they're different colours to make it easy to identify which bag you're looking for.

IT JUST WORKS

Cheaper than most/any other brands, but they do the job. Before I took these bags out "into the field" I thought I should test them: Stuffed with clothes and paperwork, I threw them into a bath of water and ran the shower on them for a few minutes. Left it to soak for an hour and still not a drip inside. They have since survived downpours from The Scottish highlands to the Amazon rainforest.

Thin fabric LOOKS like it might rip, but neither of mine has done so far. No weaknesses experienced yet.

No nonsense, cheap, effective.

LIGHT, DRY AND, EVEN BETTER, CHEAP

Great product for the money, performed very well despite a bargain basement price tag. Very light too.

None has become apparent so far.

I was sold one of these bags by a very convincing salesman and I thought "hmmm... cheap and light, I bet it's not really waterproof". However after a drenched camping trip I returned home with my vintage canvas tent stuffed into the bag. Two days later I retrieved it all for drying and I was astounded when I had to pour half a litre of water from the bag. None of this had leaked through the bag. So, for what it's worth, I can confirm that these bags are dry from the inside out at least ;-)
