The weather changes every other day. One day snowing, the next hot and then suddenly a hail storm. Humidity is usually below 30% and yesterday was 20%. I needed a solution, so I bought the reed vitalizer along with a "super accurate" Hygrometer.
I bought the 58% pack "stable storage" and put it in a doubled wall zip-lock bag along with my reeds. What can I say, the results are amazing. My hygrometer reads 58% (+/- 2%) consistently. All my reeds are much better and warping has severely been reduced.
I just can't believe no one told me about this before..
Is this product pretty new? or have I just been out of the loop.

It's not too new! I think I started using them two or three years ago. I used plastic bags in the winter before that anyway. I've not had good luck with the zipping mechanism....it comes apart and my repair doesn't hold.

I do what kev does, and it works wonderfully. Then again I'm studing clarinet in Southern Mississippi so it's always humid here. :P
