I have used a number of other packing cubes over the years, but none are convenient as the peak. I’ve got both the Smalls and mediums and both sage and charcoal.
The shape and the fact they open completely make them the easiest to pack and compress and they are deceptively large. I’m pretty big, xxl everything. I got two pair of Orvis Jackson pants 9not shorts), 6 Columbia long sleeve bahama II shirts and a couple of tee shirts in a medium. And they fit perfectly in a carryon suit case. I don’t know if this is correct or perception, but the sage feel a little heavier and rougher than the charcoal. Don’t think twice, if you’re looking for compression cubes, these are the ones
I am very impressed with how well thought out such a simple thing is. I packed for a 4 day trip, with basically everything I needed just in this one packing cube. It was easy to get, find what I needed and seal it back up into such a small container, and as my clothes got dirty, there was a secret compartment for that. Meaning the exact same amount of stuff fit in without getting anything stinky. I already bought another size, and now my fiancé wants some too.
Bought this to prepare for a larger travel journey, and its my first packing cube really. Love the compression capability and tightens up the whole package. Seems well made with nice sleek materials. The laundry section seems good, but I have yet to fully test it, at first glance it seem like it might be a big small. Only reason this isn't a 5 is the price seems steep for the whole package, so 1 mark for value but still a top buy.
I love them. The material is light weight, thin but tough. The zipper to compress the cube helps to reduce space for the luggage and you can pack a lot.
