worth a shot.. but more than likely sample swatches will not be a yard, rather a 10"x10" or closer to that size..
You might have to spend a little money to get a yard, if they sell in that small of a quantity.
Are Bubble Bags really made from Goretex?

If you don’t want to drop the cash on "bubble bags" I’ve read a lot of good things about the pay load bags. I have used the older bubble bags at least 3 years old. and just a few days ago I bought a set of pay load bags they are for sure thinner and not as high quality but I had easy 60-80 lbs of ice and trim in the work bag when me and a buddy lifted and let drain the seems are supper strong and I had no real concern of them breaking. I just installed a small pulley system in my garage so I can run trim by my self and let it hang and drain with out my arms falling off..
Just a tip for all the cold water dudes USE Filtered water. I have a tall boy filter for my grow rooms and would never make it again not using filtered water you can honestly taste the difference.

I got so lucky purchasing these bags!!! I called the store asking if they had bubble bags if so what sizes what numbers of bags and the price... he said we only carry pay load bags i did a little research found that most people like them. So i asked for the price he said since he knows me he could do 250 out the door with no tax. So i call my buddy we go down to the store and split the cost of the bags which was nice lol. i get into the car, pull a bag out of the box to see how they look. I was shocked to unfold a HUGE bag. I drive home thinking about what just happened. Get home look at the box and it says 32 gal 9 bag kit. I almost did a back flip they retail online for 500 bucks plus shipping. I would of brought them back and asked for the 5 gal bags if I normally did not have a lot of trim but I grow indoor and have friends who grow outdoor so it worked out great getting these huge ones. I just thought it was funny when I was planning on buying a 5 gal bucket and a bag of ice using a fat wooden spoon. But I left home depot with a 32 gal trash can a small pulley set up. Stopped off and got a wooden paddle from a small boat to mix it. Any experienced people have something better in mind to stir it? Would a paint mixer on a power drill be to crazy? Or should I stick with the wooden oar paddle thing…
Payload bags are still WAY too expensive for what they are. Especially if you're saying the quality is LESS than Bubble Bags.
FYI, the larger bags have an even higher profit margin than the already grotesque margins seen on the smaller bags.
It would be nice if a set of 4 twenty or thirty-two gallon bag sets could be had for around $120, huh? Like.. really high quality ones. That would be something great.

I saw the hand crank model too... I actually dig that unit cause it has the drain tube at the bottom.. The one above has to be opened and dumped... A washer is a washer though.. You could use a regular sized washing machine, and just drain through a set of bubble bags

If they were GORETEX, you would probably be paying closer to $500
and since they're actually standard nylon, what should we be paying closer to?

Score!

Yippie! Those nice people sent me a some samples today! Yippie!

AWESOME LOLA! Just FYI.. Nitex will work but isn't the 'best' for this application. I think Nitex was 'name dropped' just the same as Goretex was (because those are fancy, high priced proprietary materials, now!) and isn't really in the mix so to speak. Nitex is a polyamide mesh which means nylon mesh which means moisture sensitivity which means possible pore size changes in wet environments. What you really want is a high quality monofilament polyethylene mesh.
Look forward to seeing how they turn out!

LOL.. well I appreciate your can-do spirit and can't wait to see your final product. I'll PM you some information regarding the best way to bind/stitch the mesh to the bag a little bit later or first thing in the morning (getting the kids to bed and it's movie night w/ the wife).

Cool, i need all the help I can get.
I emailed a company in China, and trying to get samples of their mesh. They volunteered to make any product I needed, so I told em how to make a 9 bag set, told em to give me a price quote on a thousand sets. I told em that a sample set would be necessary to see their craftsmanship.... heehee heehee....
anyways, maybe they'll send some fabric samples...

here you go, these authentic pieces of crap (pretty much same as most Ebay bags) are only $2.50 each bag. You only need to buy 500 ea mesh minimum order:

**disclaimer: mesh incorrect size. PVC coat needs no explanation. Bad stitching. BUT THEY'RE CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

Current International Negotiations with the Chinese have begun.
I found a Chinese manufacturer and trying to get some samples.
wish me luck.

bags or mesh? if bags.. they're all crap.. don't waste your time using them they'll just make a messy waste. if mesh, make sure it's high quality polyethylene MONO filament, guaranteed micron/pore size.. no fabric mesh, etc.
