LOKSAK - aLOKSAK Small Multi-Pack Waterproof Dry Bags - Airtight Underwater Pouch - Touch Screen Compatible - Diving Certified (4 Pack)

When you need to secure something in a zip-lok type bag but need more. This is the ticket. Heavy duty, keeps water out and is durable. I use it to keep my cell phone in if I am out fishing. I have had one that I use often and it has held up for the last 2 years. It looks a bit older, but works great. They are just the right thing to make up small first aid kits with.

These bags work well. So far they've kept water out even when stressed and folded. I use them to keep my car fob, money, phone, papers and other items with me while in the water (swimming, skiing, etc...) and there haven't been any leaks. They're similar to, but sturdier than a regular plastic ziplock-type bag, which I've used in the past and always seem to let at least a little water in. You can use a touchscreen while it's in the bag, but I haven't tried taking pictures. The plastic is clear, but you'd still be taking a picture through a layer of plastic.If you really need to keep the water out, but don't want something stiff or bulky, these are the way to go.

Great while it works (I use for sensitive objects @ placed into pelican cases with desiccants) ***will work with safes well***Advised- Use as needed. (Lasts years if not exposed to constant sun/heat)***NOT FOR EVERYDAY USE*** (Less than 6 months before failure) cheaper to buy ziplock bags for specific sizes @ everyday use_____Cons once damaged- impossible to open (ziplock separates = useless)

I use these in a pouch that has a cord that fits round my neck when I snorkel or dive. I tuck the pouch in my wetsuit or rasher. These ziplocks work really well. They are heavy duty. You do have to be very careful about sealing them, squeezing very hard as you pass the seal between your thumb and index finger in one direction along the seal and then the other direction, repeating a couple of times. I put my eyeglasses in one long, narrow ziplock and drivers license, credit card, and a little cash in another square one. I press all the air out that I can before sealing. Regular grocery store ziplocks will fail more times than they work.

These things work and that is that. Best way to use them is put your stuff into one of the bags, roll it and seal it. Then place that one into another "sak". They will float in water, let zero moisture in, and keep everything safe. You don't even have to double bag them but I do anyways because they are a thick plastic, but I fear my car keys could possible poke through one layer. You never know. I keep these in my SCUBA bag and even with all that equipment there have been no rips or tears. If I could make one suggestion for improvement it would be that there is no way to secure these things to yourself. I keep them inside a zipper pouch, but without that your stuff could float away.

Don't let the light weight and Ziploc-style appearance fool you - these bags are made to last. I bought one (pictured) almost 20 years ago on the reco of a SpecOps guy, and I have to say I'm shocked it's still going strong after countless dive trips, sailing excursions, overnight hikes and regular old beach days with the fam. It's been abraded, poked and jabbed, chewed on by a toddler, left out in the blazing sun on dashboards and boats and dropped in water both salt and fresh more times than I can count. It still keeps its seal, hasn't yellowed or lost its flexibility (and you can use your phone when it's sealed inside). Recently bought some different sizes and they appear to be of the same quality (a very rare thing these days). Made it USA.

They are decent, but one of the bags broke - the plastic bag detached from the plastic zipper. I believe it broke because of the amount of times I opened and closed it. This is the bag I use the most. I open and close it about 2–3 times a day. It broke at 28 days, but I was traveling, and I couldn't return them before the 30 days. The zipper is not vert durable. I'll update what happens with the other bags (I bought the assortment).

I would think these would last a lot longer considering the price, but one of mine ripped after opening/closing it maybe just 20-50 times? I have to guess, of course, but it really wasn’t that long. Opening and closing while I worked out how to pack it, and maybe a week or two of use before the top plastic separated from the zip/closure. I now have to kind of pry it open gingerly, without an attached plastic lip to grip and pull.It’s nice that such waterproof bags exist, but what’s the point if they break so quickly? These might be good for waterproofing something you seal and forget, but for daily use you probably want something more durable. The idea of using them for a phone is a joke.I was using one for a band-aid/medical kit, and that’s the one that quickly broke. The others will probably be for emergency kits that I don’t need to open and reseal every few days whenever I get a cut or need a painkiller.
