Excellent for sous vide! No chemicals, thinner than others (which is good).
I looked at a bunch of options and am very happy with this choice. These work great for sous vide and I feel assured they are made of sand, not chemicals. No more ziplock plastic degrading into sous vide foods—They’re easy to use, easy to clean, easy to hang/drip dry. The silicone zip-tie thing is reusable and useful.You don’t need the kind that “zips” shut—I suspect those are more trouble that they’re worth. Just hang these from a rack or over the side of your sous vide tub. Works great.Our family of 4 has been using 2 bags for probably 4 months now, no signs of wear. They seem very durable.Very happy with these. Everyone cooking sous vide should have a set.

These work well and are not plastic
These silicone sous vide bags work great. I love it that you can wash them in the dishwasher and they are not plastic. It’s a bit fussy to wash them, even just rinsing them before you put them in the dishwasher, but it’s fine. I’m so happy to have a product that works well for the sous vide that I feel confident is much better than plastic and is completely reusable. The silicone seems quite tough. I think they’re going to last a long time even with nearly daily all day use.

It works. But be aware... +update after a year, I give it 4.5 stars
First of all, it works. Despite some of the one star reviews, cooking with a water circulator cooker (i.e., sous-vide) does not require that the bag be totally immersed or that it be vacuum sealed. The displacement method works fine, though not perfectly, more on this later. The bags seem to be durable, I have used them for long cooks (18-24 hours). No tears, no giving at the seams. The food came out fine, no aftertaste picked up from the bag, although sometimes the bags have a lingering odor. I have not had a problem with that odor transferring to the next dish in a way that is noticeable.Now for the things I didn't like. It's a nice heavy bag, which should help with durability, only time and use will tell. This thickness, however, makes the bag more prone to float than the thin plastic of a vacuum sealed bag, or a zip lock style bag, both of which I've used. The purchaser may want to consider buying some sous-vide weights. The thickness of the bags also means that not all the air is pushed out; the bags are just too stiff to mold perfectly around the food. In practice, it hasn't hurt the cook yet, but my cooks have been longer, all over 4-5 hours, so I don't know how shorter cook times might be affected.Over-all I'm satisfied. It does what it advertises, and I end up throwing away less plastic.Just an update after using the bag more. There is some staining on the inside of one bag after I did an extended cook with some fresh thyme in the bag. It looks like the bag juices and the thyme left the stains. It doesn't seem to affect the functioning of the bag, it's aesthetic. No other wear and tear is noticeable after a year.When cooking a particularly large steak, I find that I need to leave the meat in the bag a bit longer, 50% more time. Some people may balk at this, but I'm used to long sous vides and I just need to factor this in to timing. I do need to use a bit of extra elbow grease to scrub as oils tend to stick.Overall, still quite satisfied. I find myself using my sous vide more since I'm not concerned about wasting a lot of plastic. I might add an extra half star if Amazon allowed it. Consider my rating 4.5 stars.

Really happy I got these
I love my Sous Vide but hate the amount of plastic bags I go through. On a whim I thought to search for reusable bags and found these after reading reviews from a couple options. I still have plastic use but these have stopped some of that which I am grateful for.On to the bags themselves, they are thick, durable, and work. They do have a tendency to float so I have to use a strainer or some other method of leverage to keep them well placed after using water displacement method to remove air. They are easy enough to clean and dry by flipping inside out as another person posted and I appreciated.I highly recommend this product after two months of use. I hope they last a long time and expect so as they seem to be well made.

Too thick! Difficult to get sealed. Also difficult to clean
Pros - they do include 'ziptie like' fastners for added security. I like that. Cons - it is actually unexpectedly difficult to get food residue off of these bags. I have no idea why. More importantly, they are too thick to effectively allow for sealing by water displacement. Too fiddly to get the air out of the bags - too multiple tries lifting the food back out and then resubmerging it. Not worth it. I love the idea that it's more pure silicone, but it also has to be easy to use. Thinner bags (I prefer Apple Kore Living's version beause of the thinness) are easier to use.

Environmentally friendly, A bit different technique.
This bag is awesome, but it takes some getting used to. Because it cannot be sealed in advance by vacuum or displacement, food must be inserted into bag while immersed in the hot cooking water. It is not possible to absolutely eliminate voids/air pockets. Weight to keep food submerged is often required. Meats give up moisture, so the small voids will fill. I find I need to add an extra 15 min for anything cooking 1 hour in vacuum, 20 min for 2 hours or more. The results are great, and I'm not throwing all those plastic bags away to pollute everything. The lack of corners makes cleaning these bags a cinch. Just turn them inside out and soap 'em up.PRO: Completely reusable for a long time to come. Very easy to clean. Durable. Tall bag folds over top of container.CON: its a different technique to get food into the bag. Difficult to completely eliminate voids, add a little cook time and use weights.
