Recommend me vacuum pack clothes bags that aren't shit and don't burst open?

Trying to find decent vacuum pack storage bags that
A) can actually be sealed easily so you can suck the air out in the first place and
B) don't silently burst open in the cupboard after a couple of months.

Tried Lidl and Wilcos - both of which suffer from A (dunno about B yet). Getting expensive to keep buying different brands and I can't see if e.g. bags have stupid impractical lengthways crappy seals w/o opening packs.

Any good suggestions?

Did that link work? Blush anyway, space saver bags on amazon - I have them and would recommend.

Thank you! Both look promising - I like the guarantees, I don't want to get more bags and then have to replace next year. It seems like such a horrible waste of plastic if they aren't long lasting, so I don't mind spending a bit more if it will last.

@marciagetscreamed the blue clips for the Spacesaver seals - how well do they work? The Lidl (I think) bags had a similar looking seal but when I tried to use the clips to seal it they just ate holes in the bag Angry so I ended up having to try to press all the (long) seals together by hand, which took blooming forever.
