The two multi packs are not clear which size bags you get. The amazon description is the same.
The SMALL MULTIPACK has the following sizes. 5x4.75", 4.4x7.25", 6.5x6", and 8.75x6".
The LARGE MULTIPACK is as follows 4.4x7.25", 6.5x6", 8.75x6", and 12x12.5".
These are all outer dimensions. Inner dimensions seem to be 1/4-3/4" smaller depending on long side versus short side, size accordingly. The First measurement is usually a 1/4" smaller and the second quoted dimension is usually 3/4" smaller. For example the 5x4.75" bag is internally 4.75x4". Hope this helps.

I bought these recently for an adventure race involving a lot of water and mud. I used the larger one for a big map folded in half, the mid size for a information book, and the smaller for a cell phone (I bought several different variety). All three bags worked flawlessly being submerged completely under water at several occasions and through multiple zippings and unzippings. These are a very high grade of plastic and are constructed very well. These aren't anything like the space bags I have that can't hold a seal for more than 15 minutes.

These are a great waterproof bag. I use them in a SplashCaddy map case for adventure racing. If you aren't aware, you will want to remove the printing on the bag with rubbing alcohol before use.
My biggest complaint about the bags is it seems like UV deteriorates the plastic. After a couple years the bags were foggy and hard to read a map through. They were still perfectly waterproof, but no longer useful to read a map.
Honest reviews on Aloksak Bags
I ended up using this bag as my main wallet for my whole vacation. I got three of them, and one of them got damaged by some keys or something in my pocket, so I switched to one of the others. It still didn't leak, but it had little bumps on it like the plastic was stretched. Nothing ever got wet in any of these bags the whole trip. I was careful to seal it properly every time, and I didn't get sand in it. It was just big enough to hold my passport, some cash, atm receipts, etc. Now that I've tried them, I'll probably get more in some of the larger sizes. Just as convenient as my usual zip-lock bags, but way more durable.

I have used aloksaks for the last eight years, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. I am currently in Jamaica and use in the mountains. The plastic is the best. I have yet had one fail due to punctures. I keep my Ipod touch inside and can manipulate the controls perfectly. They are also great for a passport holder, perfect size, nice and compact. The sealing zipper is inconsistent. I have read the instructions and followed them to seal and they still do not stay shut, especially when packed with other items that will pop open the seal. If I want something to stay waterproof I prefer freezer grade ziplock bags, double bagged, depending on the value of the item I am protecting. The one advantage of the alosaks is the variety of sizes, but having a perfectly sized bag versus a wet item is a no-brainer. The shipping from this vendor is excellent.
