I bought a bunch of these to keep my gear in order while spending a lot of time on the road for photography assignments. They look cool as hell in smokey grey and definitely make you more inclined to keep your gear wired tight while traveling. Extra zips to expand also mean you can fit plenty into each cube.
When using in the 45L pack it would be nice to have a full length cube so you could fold clothes longer and flatter. If you compress these cubes there is a lot of space left over when you place inside the body of the pack. I've ended up using another brand cube that is longer to take up more of the space from bottom to top and then use the Peak cube between that and the zipped back of the pack. It's just me, I don't like the size of the medium cube for folded clothes. Not keen on the small size either
I have used the small packing cube for about 6 months, totally love it so much that I decided to buy another one. Fits several T-shirts and shorts, and the compression zip works like a charm. Can also be used as a pillow in emergency. I carry one cube for up to 3-day trip on my messenger bag, or two cubes for up to 1 week on my MOLLE rucksack. My friends and families also loves these, especially the separate compartment for dirty clothes. I stopped using vacuum bags in favor of these smartly designed packing cubes. There are some minor excess yarns in the stitches, but certainly not frayed. Even if it is, I'm at ease since I know Peak Design's commitment to their customers. I can't recommend enough of Peak Design and their products!
I love peak design stuff. After recently picking up a travel duffel, I figured I'd pick up a packing cube. So far, I've used it for 3 trips. I didn't really super fill the thing, as I was only packing for 2-3 day trips. Either way, some of the material close to the stitching is starting to fray a bit. Although I think it works pretty well, I'm concerned about the overall durability. I'll probably be trying out peak design's warranty soon.
Fitting a week of clothes in a 2 and 1 cube back easily. Now I can take my 20L everyday backpack, and bring my laptop and a week of clothes in it with space left. I own multiple peak design products. I love them all! üòç but the packing cubes really are amazing! And complete my travel setup. Highly recommend!
I have only used them on one trip, so I can't say anything about how long they last. But all peak design products have live time warranty?
I've bought the small size and I'm so happy with it I'm probably buying other soon. I've been able to pack my flip flops in the “dirty” size, while my after gym clean work clothes is packed in the dirty size. After the morning training, I can put my sweaty used gym clothes together with the flip flops and fetch the clean clothes to wear and start my day. And it never gets smelly or wet between the two sides. Perfect for my routine!
Great for people who like to separate clean and dirty clothes!

I'm the type of traveller who will not put my dirty clothes together with my clean clothes so i love how there is a side of dirty clothes that expands to fill up the bag, which a lot of packing cubes with compartments do not. (they are often times smaller on one side). My only thing with it though is the the zipper for the "dirty side" is small, so it makes it difficult to pack it properly.
