Are they thick? How much can they carry?

They are 0.491 mil (.000491 inch) thick. They have the feel of most grocer's store and Walmart bags in thickness. Volume-wise, they are rated at 1/6 barrel (= 21 quarts = 5.25 gallons = 0.7 cubic feet). Weight-wise, I don't know if the bags can hold 42 lbs (5.25 gallons of water). The most I've had in them is about 15 lbs.

We were pleased with the bags. Generally speaking we used them for our farmer's market. I don't know exactly what weight they can carry. I would say they're average weight and can carry about what you get in your normal plastic grocery bag.

These are not the flimsy bags you get from a street meat vendor in downtown Los Angeles. They are good quality that feel stronger then the bags we used to get from the grocery stores in CA. I can't say how much they will hold because I have not tested them, but I'm happy with the quality and use them to schlep my groceries home. Yes, I have to buy my own plastic grocery bags in CA. You should see the look on the cashiers's face when I whip out a stack of plastic bags, classic. You would think I just smothered Bambi or Thumper with a plastic bag and my bare hands :)

I use the bags for other household applications. Nonetheless, they are pretty much resistant. I have already carried 3 to 4 large soda bottles and boxes. Differently from ones I have got from supermarkets, the the bottom did not tear and the handles were resistant enough for the load. I do recommend them.

By the way, I don't agree with the assessment that they are thick. They are much more pointed and thin.

I gave them as a gift ......they seemed to be fairly thick not thin like some towels.

Yes, they are a bit heavy and floppy to carry, find a stable bag like a reusable grocery bag to transport.

They are very thick, I just ordered the smaller size. Sorry I couldn't help with your question.

Yes, as shown in the photo. However, they are only about 1" thick and a little thin.

Hi, Judy. They are smooth. But, they are plenty thick enough to do the job.

I don't know the exact thickness. They are not tissue paper thin. They seem pretty sturdy and well constructed. The zip closure seals tightly, but does slightly limit the effective size. For medium sized items, they are a good value.

The bags are pretty thick. I would rate the thickness of the bag as medium. I haven't had a bag break yet .

No too thick. Just 2 maybe 4 depending on fabric weight. But no batting. Hope that helps

They are about 1/16th inch thick. Have had mine for many years. Quite pleased , will buy again if required.

They are about the thickness of your normal store bought bread bags. They work great for my bread making and I have not had any problems with them.

they probably could, they might be a little noisy. But there's plenty thick enough.

Purely based on how thick and durable they are made , I would GUESS no more than 75lbs max.

They're decently thick, but not too thick, you could bend them in half and break them if you wanted to. They're great for the price.

The bags are about the same thickness as all the other brands. We have used several of them and so far are very pleased.

Not very thick at all but if you check out YouTube you will find video showing them withstanding some rather harsh abuse.
