Re-Pac Bags Review (Gear)

Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), 3 days ago

As gamers we tend to carry around a lot of things that need organizing. Re-Pac sent me some of their bags, suggesting that gamers could do with a little organization, so we put them through their paces to see if they can hold up to the strain of being used by gamers. They come in three sizes, small, medium and large and a variety of colors and patterns.

When someone sends me a product and tells me all sorts of things about it, I take that into consideration when I review the product. In this case, the very first thing on the literature that ccompanied the bags was "leak resistant for even juicy foods."

re=pac patterns

So I tested that. I filled the bag with water, which it did hold, but the problem is that it’s a bag with a zipper, re-pac bags with stuffso the water simply leaked out through the zipper. Leak resistant it might be, provided the liquid doesn’t get to the zipper, so really, that’s sort of a failure on the part of the bag. It’s not a false statement, the material part does in fact hold liquid. But I wouldn’t put a juicy food in there and then toss it in my backpack with my gear because it could easily become a disaster.

Next on the list was that they were dishwasher safe, so I threw one in the dishwasher and ran it through the cycle. It said to put it on the top rack, I put it on the bottom figuring sometimes you might just forget. When the Re-Pac Bag came out it was in pretty good shape. The heat from the drying cycle hadn’t melted anything and the bag certainly was clean. They say you can also toss them in the washing machine, which I believe. The only thing I noticed was that the bag wasn’t quite as flat as it was prior to the dishwasher run. But with use things degrade so it’s to be expected.

 Our Rating for Re-Pac Bags Review (Gear)
8.5
Overall
Not exactly what they are made out to be but very utilitarian and could prove to be extremely useful for gamers and non-gamers alike. A couple minor changes and they could really have an almost unlimited amount of uses.
