Gel filled sandbags

[mrpercysnodgrass]

Has anybody used gel filled sandbags?
If so, did they do as good a job as sand filled bags and what was it like once filled? They are supposed to be reusable, are they?
Any advise or comments appreciated.

For those of us looking on, what is the application for gel filed sand bags please ?

They are bags filled with a powder, very light and store flat, when they come into contact with water they swell to many times their size and are supposed to be better than traditional sand filled bags, they also come in lengths up to 4m and are non toxic and biodegradable when you are done with them.

Have you found any that are multi-use?
The last time I looked into this, all the commercially available options I found were single-use.
