Review on Warp Brothers FBA_CB 36 Regular Storage by Linda Wood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yellow and rather opaque.

I have two electric guitars with dust magnets. I keep them in a storage (closet) and they really gather dust. A proper hard shell guitar case would be ideal, but too expensive. A simple plastic bag will do, so I ordered these. The first thing that surprised me was that the bags were yellow. The same yellow as on the box. I just assumed it was clear plastic or maybe translucent wax paper with pictures on it. But no, they are yellow. It's not a problem for me, I just want to keep dust out, but for others the translucent plastic (which hides all the details) might seem like a problem. When I opened the package and started pulling out the bag, I found that all five bags were connected together like garbage bags. You need to find the seam between the pouches and tear off the front pouch. You have to be careful as you can damage the bag by tearing it in the wrong place. It would be useful to mark the seam better, but I'm sure few people will have trouble. My next surprise is how heavy the plastic on these bags is. They are in fact made of durable plastic film. If you've picked up these dark green hefty lawnmowing bags, you'll know exactly what they are. I was expecting the bags to be smaller, like bread bags or something, but no, they're sturdy. The size of the pockets makes them a bit awkward to handle. Two adults can stand completely covered under one of these bags. I mention this so that readers can get an idea of her size. If translucent plastic isn't an issue, I can't imagine these bags wouldn't fit just about any storage need. Many plastics age and become brittle when exposed to the sun's UV rays. The yellow dye used can provide some protection. By the way, the plastic type is out of the question. Polyethylene is my first guess. If you need to protect something from dust and moisture, I suspect these bags will last you for years. With care they look like they will last really long.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • I have doubts
