Package Contents Four pack of 10 inch wide x 12 inch tall EMP Cover shielding kits. (Note: size is internal, usable space.) Multi-layer protection creates a 45 dB shield against EMP energy. Closed bag creates a secure Faraday cage environment and is IP66 grade protection from water and dust. Kit includes moisture removing desiccant pouches, extra protection for your stored electronics. Not all silver bags are the same. Tests at NASA show up to 49 dB of protection, with an average of 45 dB protection. That is 10 times more protection than required by the highest military specification (MIL-PRF-81705 Type I). Bags that just meet the military standard only provide 1/10th the protection you need. That is why EMP Cover shielding bags are "Beyond Mil-Spec." Even worse, some vendors sell regular anti-static bags as EMP protection. Regular anti-static bags create a very weak Faraday cage, only 1/80th of what you need. EMP Cover Bags Protect Against Strong EMP Attacks To protect against an EMP attack, you need 45 dB of shielding: enough to protect against a high-altitude blast created using the largest warheads. (See our site's EMP simulator for more details.) Extra Value Beyond EMP, your backup electronics need to be protected against dust, rain, dirt, oils, and other nastiness you may encounter. EMP Cover bags deliver, giving you water and oil resistance in a strong and lightweight material. Each bag weighs only ounces, but has a 40 lbs. tensile strength and > 20 lbs. of puncture resistance. They are a great way to store backup electronics in a ready-bag or in your vehicles. NOTE for Cell Phones: This material is not intended to keep your cell phone hidden from tracking or hacking. It will block most cell phone signals, but not if you are in the path of a high-power directional signal. To block your cell phone from tracking, search for our "HideCell" product line.

The Good,The Bad, and the Questionable
I bought 4 different sizes of these bags to protect stuff of different sizes. On opening the containers of the larger bags, I was very surprised and disappointed to find that instead of the one rod/one clip closure systems found on the small bags, the larger ones had two rods and two clips to cover the full span of the opening. The two rod/two clip system is much more difficult to get on, provides, at best, a questionably secure seal, and appears to have been a cheap trick on the part of the manufacturer to save on their costs at the expense of the buyer's security. Of course, having never experienced an EMP attack, I have no idea how well these bags will work or if they will work at all. And the words on the label that read, "Exceeds Mil Specs" doesn't give me much confidence either, considering all the crazy/stupid things our military has done in the recent past and is still doing.

Not as Described
This item's description stated that it blocks EM waves due to its multilayer construction while other products do not. We tested this bag using Amateur ( 2M, 70CM), FRS, GMRS, and FRS radios. In all cases the radios placed in a sealed bag were able to receive a signal without distortion. I doubled and tripled bagged the radios and they continued to receive and transmit a signal while in the sealed bags. Placing the radios in a Pelican case lined with foil worked better at blocking EM waves than these overly priced bags. I found these bags to be no better at blocking a signal than a standard static bag. Look elsewhere....We found these bags, at a much lower cost, [...] when doubled perform better than the EMP Cover bags.

Very Satisfied
I had an issue with the two piece closures as did another reviewer. I emailed the mfg and inquired if there was an acceptable alternative to using the closures. They responded the same day and informed me that a double fold and packing tape or duct tape would suffice. Works for me.

I can hardly wait for the next EMP so I can try these out. When we get hit I will post a review, keep an eye out.

I like the plastic sealer strip to insure it's properly sealed
They look very well made and strong. I like the plastic sealer strip to insure it's properly sealed. I have these and larger ones as well for bigger items
