Why does nobody talk about using a ziploc bag for your backup regulator?

Honestly, after 3 years of diving I finally tried shoving my backup reg in a freezer bag before a murky harbor job last Tuesday and it kept it totally crud-free when I had to switch over. Has anyone else got a weird trick like that for keeping gear clean on dirty sites?

Wait, you actually shoved a backup reg in a ziploc bag before a harbor dive and it didn't flood? That's wild, I gotta try that next time!

Ngl @murray.robert, same thing happened to me with a ziploc and it was bone dry after.

Silicon sealant on the zipper edge seals it up tight.
