Zip-seal plastic bags

[stav]

Ow doo, you Bushcrafty Bushcrafters.

For some time now, I've been trying to get hold of some of those plastic bags with the zip seals.

Does anyone know where I can get these?

Can get Aloksaks (brand) from http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product130.asp

I think this has come up before in a thread. As I recall a company called Lakeland do them and I know they hace both a website and retail shops all over the country. Hope this helps

Ah, if mean ordinary food zip lock bags then lakeland do do them..

The ALOKSAK bags are more durable, and water tight to apparently 60meters, and obviously more expensive,.

stav,

I've seen one of the Sainsbury's bags produced from a daysack which contained about a pint of spag bol sauce. It hadn't leaked and I was impressed, not only by the fact it handn't leaked, but by how robust the bag felt.

Best regards,
Paul.

I'll be winging my way into Sainsbury's at Sheffield, tonight. Am off up to Wasdale Head tomorrow for a wild camp over the Black sail pass.

Thanks for the replies.

Thought that I had finished with this now, but no such luck.

I went into Sainsbury's tonight and they have indeed got zip lock bags but they are the snap top bags, the sort you squeeze between your fingers to close, not the bags with an actual zip that you slide along the top.

Back to the old drawing board, me thinks.

Emailed a mate of mine who had the Sainsbury's bag, and he has just replied saying that they were the bags below that he had from Sainsbury;s. He's of the opinion that they are much better than Zip-Lock bags.

Bought the mixed six pack from Backpackinglight for £15 yesterday afternoon. Arrived this morning with free jelly babies and a CD podcast.

Very tough looking bit of kit!

I have the alonsaks (bought direct from USA) but have just found something very similar at Tesco's, pack of 8 for a quid. the quality is excellent, i won't be buying alonsaks again....

 

[Jodie]

Are they the same as the Snopake Zippa Bag S bags? I think Ryman's do them, if so.

Mine have got 'smooth action plastic closure' and are brightly coloured:

I got myself some pour & store ones from my local Home & Bargain store for 79p for a pack of 8 instead of £1:49.They are very good quality and should last a while if looked after.
