A Great Space Saver!
on December 16, 2019
Posted by: BecaP
from Murrieta, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This packing cube is truly amazing! I have no idea how they do it, but this cube can hold so many clothes. I have the medium sized cube and I can fit 4 sweatshirts and 2 t-shirts inside the cube without the expansion. With the expansion I can also add a couple pairs of pants. It’s such space saver. When I travel, I almost always just use a carry on, so I am always limited on space. With the packing cube I can carry double what I normally can with my carry on. The cube also has a side pocket that you can use for dirty clothes. I love having a separate compartment for clean and dirty clothes. I wish I would have known about packing cubes sooner. It has relieved some of the stress of traveling.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small packing cube is a-okay
on May 6, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
I got two small packing cubes so that I could have one with "definitely going to wear" stuff and another for backup & just-in-case stuff. I put the backup cube in the bottom corner of my pack and because it zips down into a rounded shape I could fit more things in the corner spaces around it. The other one sat higher up for daily access and being able to put the used clothes back in the same bag on the other side worked perfectly. I used to throw all used clothes in a stuffsack which would grow and throw off my organization as it grew. Able to definitely get by with one small cube on a casual long weekend.

Durable!? Nahhh....

I bought the small and medium-sized packing cube last year and use them quite often (every Weekend). Although the cubes look good they are not as durable as marketed.
The grip of the medium packing cube have unfortunately started to give up and it won't be there for a long time.

Great features with two major design flaw
on December 30, 2021

These bags are great at compression and fitting as many clothes as you can in the space. The zippers are incredibly sturdy and the handles are great. Two major design flaws: the handle straps are too thin and the compression zipper does not have any protection around it, and your fingers will be severely cramped when you try to use the compression feature to zip your clothes up.
Other than this, if you're looking for a simple and functional packing cube with no muss and fuss, this would suffice.

Saves space and great quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product while packing for my trip. I am so thrilled to share my experience with you all. My packaging has always been messy before but with this cube I felt it was more organized. I saved so much space and was able to extra stuff without adding more handbags. The quality of this cube is amazing, it has a zipper to adjust its size. I absolutely love this product and definitely recommend it to others.
If your load is heavy go with large size. Medium size is fit for a two day vacation packaging.

Perfect for One Bag Travellers
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: Mauro
I've been looking everywhere for a packing cube that is both lightweight and made of strong materials. As someone who travels with one bag only for long extended trips, I want a packing cube that can hold a lot of clothes but compact enough to not take too much space in my bag. With the peak design packing cubes compression system it's a miracle how many clothes I can manage to bring without sacrificing space for my gear ! That with the quick tear straps and clean look makes this packing cube my favourite travel accessory, I strongly recommend anyone looking for a reliable packing cube to consider trying this one !

Verified Purchase:Yes
Much better than I expected and I was expecting greatness! The materials are insane once I got my hands on it. Super light, but still clearly very durable. I was afraid the extra features would weigh down my one-bag packing setup, but nope, still floatin’ like a butterfly. The dirty laundry compartment alone makes these worth every penny. I’m still getting used to not having outer mesh to see what’s inside, but honestly it’s a non-issue.

A really good packing cube which maximizes space
on October 31, 2022
Posted by: Roger Wilco
from Minneapolis, MN
First, the great: materials are top notch, reliability seems good so far, compression is effective and I can easily cram more clothes into this cube than its competition. 12"x12" is a good size for most backpacks and travel packs.
The not so great: the plastic pull tabs a gimmick, in my opinion, and they too easily will open under pressure from the clothes if packed tightly. I often have to double-check this before I pull the cube out of my luggage. I'd much rather a zipper than ran the full circumference of the cube. The laundry compartment would be better accessed by a similar zipper; it only runs on one side so packing the laundry side as flat as the clean side (to maintain the same size and space) is challenging. The curvature of the bottom can be hard to pack into compared to a cube with a little more structure.
Overall I really like this cube and if I have a lot of clothes to bring it's become my first choice. But it's not my favorite to use compared to more classic options.
I would recommend this to a friend!
