Title: Packing
Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/10/19 at 04:20:30

I got a ski bib for the cool weather. Slightly insulated, and it's very bulky to get in a saddle bag. I'm testing the
Ziploc Space bags. Loop like a winner. Just gotta mash the air out without popping a seal. Instead of taking up over half the bag, it's gonna slide in and leave room for stuff.
The bag size I'm testing is medium.

Is that one of them "hook the vacuum cleaner to it" bags ? :-?

I've got a nylon insulated bib/jacket set too , its nice in down to 20 deg. weather and not to bad after the day warm-up too ! In reality I think its a Snowmobile Suit , but its nice and warm.

Have you discovered the "Hippo Hands" yet ? :)

No vacuum needed.
But, if you Did want vacuum, we have a port on the bike. Dunno how much sukkin it would accomplish.
Hippo hands?

Ahh, looked it up. I'm okay with the gloves I have.

I don't know why more motorcyclists don't use these things. I pack for travel consistently and can easily double the amount of content per square inch regarding fabric material using a vacuum sealed system. Even a small hand pump will work as long as you can create a solid seal.

Also everything remains clean and waterproof.

If my wife were going those bags would have to operate like the tardis. You know. Bigger on the inside than they are on the outside.

So , my pump (12 Volt) for my air mat can shrink my baggage ?

Are we talking about those bags from Harbor Freight ?

You may recognise
Ziploc as a trademark name.
