I think those are essentially beefed up ziplocks intended to use with Ursacks, supposedly cutting down on escaping odors. Not needed in Glacier since there are bear poles at every campsite anyway. But, if you're above the tree line and in bear country they'd be useful. Ditto if you don't carry an Ursack (i.e. a regular nylon stuff sack) and in critter country---which is about everywhere.
