Why is it so big ? If it’s supposed to store items you’d want to keep hidden ?

I evaluated other products on the market but they found Valtcan to be the most impressive. The product arrived in a timely manner and I was more than satisfied upon inspection.
I would definitely recommend this product.

I was so disappointed when I got this bag. Not with anything about it other than the size of the opening at the top. It was perfect in every other way. The top opening wouldn't fit my binder that I keep all my important papers in. No matter how I turned it, I couldn't get it in. So that's why it lost a star. Other than that, it's a great bag for protecting your important things, and I highly recommend it...unless you need to get a binder in it. haha 4 stars.

I know that this might sound weird, but have you ever thought about emergencies? I mean what if your house was on fire, what are you gonna grab first? We have had boxes and large folders, but having been in a situation where I had to grab and run during fire,
One thing is that you want to take as much as possible. Do you REALLY think you are going to pass up all else to carry a big fireproof box only? No, you are going to want some clothing and a few other things perhaps. Let's see how this bag can help.
WHAT IS THIS LIKE?
This bag is a bigger bag. It will fit a smaller lock box which you might store in your papers, and then you can put in things like perhaps a family Bible, or perhaps other small valuables. It has a zipper on top which is waterproof as well as a flap that closes with two magnetic closure rows. There is a handle on top to carry it with, but also a shoulder strap inside. It would probably be best to have the strap tucked in the top so in case of emergency, you can shoulder and run.
CONSTRUCTION
This is made quite well. It is sewn well, constructed well and it has plenty of room in it for quite a few things, while still being able to close.
FIREPROOF?
Well, I only could use a small lighter, but it worked. The high temperature it claims to be fireproof against, well, I am not going to test it THAT intensely.
WATERPROOF
Yes, it does repel water quite well.
THE BOTTOM LINE
For a quick way to throw a bag of important papers and belongings over your shoulder and then other things to escape an emergency situation, this bag is much easier to deal with than a bulky box. It is nice to have both water and fire proof protection and space for more than just some papers.
MY RATING
FIVE STARS. I am glad to have this. The shoulder harness is a great addition and even has a fire proof pad on it.

We git this to keep our important papers and emergency documents in a water and fire-proof container. This bag is large enough to fit many papers and documents, and is easy to store. Having lived through Sandy in NYC, as well as many hurricanes in the Caribbean, we know the value of this.

This is pretty large, like a regular briefcase. So you can fit a lot of things in here, documents, jewelry, passports, money, smaller valuables. It has a front flap that Velcro�s shut. Then flip that up and it�s a heavy duty zipper closure. It does come with a strap for carrying but the clasps are plastic and the strap is nylon so that whole thing can�t be fireproof because the plastic would just melt so that�s more so for convenience than practicality. This really helps give another layer of protection confidence and preparedness. Great to have in general especially if you live in an area prone to hurricanes, floods, etc.

I purchased this for the storage and transportation of money and important documents during an evacuation - should we ever have to leave due to a forest fire or earthquake. It is well made, large enough to store all the paperwork and money you will need. (By the way I was in Katrina and I learned that SMALL bills are much more important than large bills because no one gives change when the power is out for an extended time - no ATMs)

I really don't have any complaints about the bag. It seems durable and it is a very nice size. It will definitely fit multiple folders and notebooks. It would probably fit a small box if you needed. Of course I have not tested the "fireproof-ness" but the material is as described and appears to be the fire proof material expected.

Received the fireproof bag two days ago. It is bigger than I expected, can put lots of important documents inside. Quality looks good, gonna get one more for my family.
