Anyone used these? I don’t have enough space for a full ventilated Carcoon-type storage bag, but wondered whether these vacuum bags with desiccant in them are any good, or just a waste of plastic?

This sort of thing.

At work we have some old agricultural outbuildings where a bloke stores a couple of bikes. He used that type of vacuum bag - it was a total faff wheeling the bike into the bag whilst 2 other blokes attempted to hold the end open. Vacuuming was not easy & sealing everything up took several attempts & was impossible to get 100% hermetic. Not only that, the side stand caused a rip in the side & now its bodged up with tape.....
My 2p: not worth the effort!

Fair enough, I’ll scrub that idea off then!
