I've used this type, and a similar version brand-named "Aqua-Man" (which
uses a separable clamp held with two thumbscrews).  Both have kept my
radios dry, for two plus years.  My radios are not alleged to be
waterproof or water resistant, so the bags are important to me.

BTW, I have experienced some condensation inside the bags, which was
almost certainly due to temperature drops.  Sometimes the amount of
moisture produced this way is very impressive!  don't think it will hurt
the radio, though.
