Waterproof travel pouches for suitcases

Hello,

I’ll be traveling in Europe next week and I’ll of course be bringing beer to trade. I plan on bringing about 10-15 cans (16oz) and I’m looking for a waterproof pouch to put them in my suitcase. The last thing I want is my trip to be filled with beer soaked clothes. If anyone has a lightweight solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Brian

Zip loc bag with rubber bands holding the bags in place would work. 1 bag per can/bottle.

Kind of expensive for what it is but just for that extra measure, I’ve always liked using these to seal my already ziplocked baggied bottles. Then again, ask most and they’ll probably tell you I am overly cautious when I pack beer. I can get 2 bombers, or about 4 single bottles, or 6 cans in these and they’ve seen some rough baggage handling and I’ve never had the slightest issue.

They have a few different options too. I usually buy them on Amazon though.

I use ziploc bags and/or put the whole beer stash into a trash bag and tape it closed. Never had a breakaway leak, and I have had one can explode in the suitcase

Thanks everyone! All great ideas.

Besides protecting my beer, I always put my clothes in plastic bags

Nothing fancy, usually the hotel laundry bags are large enough to be folded (so it doesn’t require tape)
Won’t help if your suitcase sinks in the ocean, but if there are just few ounces of beer spilling, it will keep it away from clothes.

I have a friend at work who is going back home to Zimbabwe for a few weeks and has told me she will bring me back a selection of beers. I suppose I should provide her with zip bags as well as bubble wrap.

Using travlr and/or fiulijn’s advice should set you up pretty well. Combine for extra protection.

I generally try to do the beer in the trash bag method, but sometimes I’m ill-prepared and just roll the dice wrapping them in bubble wrap or even just clothes if I’m really desperate. Only one time did I end up doing laundry in the hotel bathroom sink. I blame Air Berlin for giving me grief about being a couple of kg over the weight limit and making me shift things around/slam a couple beers in the check-in line.
