Do they fold up well for storage? I bought some other thermal bags, and they don't stay folded and therefore not stackable.

The blue bag for frozen stuff folds to under three inches. The green bag for regular groceries folds to under two inches.

They do fold up for storage. Rather nicely for the size and material they are. Truely the best bag I have ever owned.

Yes - folds to less than 3" along top edge and less than 1" along btm edge. Can be compressed into about 2" with pressure. Paying attn. to unfolding when opening for first time will make it easier to refold the first few times.

Bags do not fold flat because of hard plastic that serves as base for each compartment. They stay pretty much like in the picture, which (if you don't mind) is kind of bulky. The middle section is for mounting and securing the panniers on the rack. There are a couple of clip on straps, one on each side, that secure them to the back tire. Hope this answers your question.

Yes they can. We bought four for two double berths in our trailer and they work perfectly zipped together. They are great bags and we are happy with them! Plenty warm and snugly for the summer in Southern California! lol

C. Bliss, No, they don't fold up; instead you can turn them to face parallel to the upper barre allowing for standing or flat storage. It isn't the most convenient design, but it works well if you have a bed to store it underneath.

I wouldn't stack that many. I might stack two but I'd be concerned about more. The covers do not zip but merely lay on top. If they zipped that would provide more strength around a critical mass.

The only ones I have found that will fold down over the top are from Walmart are the Husky drawstring yard bags, 39 gallon. They fit perfectly.

I would not recommend stacking them since they are tapered top to bottom. They are very durable and could be used for flat storage.

Yes. I store winter coats in the bags. Two heavy coats will fit in one bag. I put 4 or 5 blazers in another bag. They hold more than I thought they would. I am going to buy another set to store wool blankets in.

Hi Michael, because these are designed to hold skis tightly so they do not move during transport, typically the skis cannot be in a bag to use this type of carrier. If protection is a concern, we recommend an Alpine sized box, which are intended for skis specifically. Thanks!

I can not say if they will hold up in the heat or cold. These are the heaviest bags I have seen. I would think in the heat the would become more flexible but in cold conditions I don't know.

Hello, Mike. Yes, they are relatively stable. But stackable, I would think not so much, actually. I am presently using three of these in my home and so far, they are, indeed, holding up rather nicely. Instead of stacking, maybe if you had more space to go on, then maybe brining on more, maybe albeit, smaller racks, may be the way to go here.

It depends on how tight you fold the bags... At first I used to rolled the air out, as advised, but you get some wrinkled. I came out with the solution of get out the air by flatten the bag, and it was great almost ironed LOL .... These bags are great! 100% recommended

I think they would be okay. Though one possible issue might be how to repackage them for the trip. I don't think the plastic pouch they come would be able to stand up to the rigors of a pack crammed with all of your camping gear.

They stack for storage. Stacking while using might work, but they are not designed for this.

I haven't actually tried to stack them, but honestly, I don't see how you could, esp. if you wanted it to be stable. My answer to you is no.

They are one time use, disposable. I wouldn't just use them as storage bags , they are intended to be used with the system.

Interesting Question & Use!!! I Think Folded In Half & Tightly Rolled They Would. There's A Lot Of Room Between Bottle Racks. Kat
