I managed to get 4 fleeces into one of the large bags. As I walked out of the room....
Perhaps they were over-filled. The idea isn't to get as much as possible into one bag but to evacuate the air that's between the fibers, reducing the amount of room it takes to store them. We've been using some of the roll-to-squeeze-the-air-out type to hold dirty laundry for almost 10 years, while traveling the world. They hold their suction yet. They don't tear that easily; I was sure they wouldn't last this long but they have.
When storing fiber, it's most important to stop before you get near the top. Just one teeny 'invisible' fiber laying across the 'zipper' is enough to not let the seal complete its run. Try removing one - two of the fleeces and reseal.
There are many sizes to pick & choose from; eBay & Google all list bags lower than the price quoted. I've also seen them at Cosco & some Ace Hardware stores.
There are the types that one needs a vacuum to evacuate the air with (after laying a square of cardboard under the round opening to keep the fiber out of) - a hassle; avoid those unless it's convenient to keep a vacuum cleaner nearby.
