Can I store small items of clothing? Will they seal as well as more expensive zip locks - for a camping trip to keep out dust.

It does not have a double seal like most ziploc bags, but it is large enough to put small items of clothing (of course depending on the size of the clothes) and will keep dust out.

Yes to both. The ziplocks are very well made, and secure well. We use them for contaminated documents that are toxic but too valuable to replace. (One citizen document would cost over $300.00 to replace) We have found other uses as well and they hold up with sharp objects, or over-stuffing. Totally pleased with them. I like camping and feel they would work well.

I own an etsy shop and make minky blankets and baby clothes. I send most items in these bags. I squeeze all of the air out of them and they stay that way... Looking shrink wrapped. Great quality. Definitely can store clothing!! Hope this helps :)

It depends upon how much "stuff" you pack into it. If you aren't filling it to the brim like I do, then yes :) If you pack so you can barely zip it closed, no.

Yes they have zippers:Bayes frabric protectant from home depot would be a good idea.

They can absolutely be used for ziplock storage without using a vacuum. I haven't been using these for very long, but I have some bags that I have washed and reused maybe 4 times, and haven't noticed any wear or tear yet. Maybe someone else who has used them longer can give you a better idea.

That I cannot answer but best advice in any weather pack your supplies in ziplock bags for full protection. I purchased this item as a gift.

I use a zip lock bag. However I also had some in open container for about a year, which worked just fine just recently. They will not dry out, but since sticky it would be better in a bag....

any good sealer should work fine, you do want to use a better grade of bag than you need to for just storage

I use these for sewing items fabric and tools etc. Although the lids fit very well I wouldn't say they are airtight. I think they would keep out most bugs. I store some things in my garage. But I wouldn't swear to the kind of vermin and bugs that seem to find their way into just about everything. So far none of my fabrics or tools have had anything in the boxes I didn't put there! If you have something you need to be absolutely airtight against anything. I would recommend a screw on top container. These do though close well and no problems so far. Good luck.

Yes, though they won't fit anything excessively bulky -- a high quality, low weight sleeping bag should fit fine.

Not really. I suppose one could use a luggage padlock to lock the zippers together, but I imagine you're looking for something more secure.

They will fit with room for more items if you need. Kinda large though so it won't save any space if you decide to pack it.

I think that would be a great idea. You want to store them in a dry place, so I think sealing them up would work well.

I haven't packed the canisters for traveling so can't answer from experience. But the covers have a tight seal and it seems like they would stay secure as long as they weren't getting tossed around or flipped upside down.

You can use ziplock vacuum bags it is a lot cheaper. I buy them from walmart

If you were to keep the zipper windows closed you would have a sauna. The tent is not torrential rain proof, but it is waterproof and that goes for inside as well as out.

J. R., I don't know unless it has to do with the fact that they are Very difficult to open once tightly 'sealed'. Otherwise, they are just 'Mini Ziplock baggies'.
