Why do I love packing cubes this much?

I bought the small and medium cubes to go with the 45L travel backpack.
First, these things are amazing. The material is very satisfying to the touch. It’s smooth and the self-healing is for real. The tear-apart zipper design is great and the compression zipper is shockingly effective. I don’t really use the secondary pocket, which is for dirty clothes. But as I go on longer trips I can see how that might be useful.
Second, these work perfectly with many bags. Of course the fit in PD bags is perfect, but I find these useful in my Away suitcases. I’ve completely replaced my Eagle Creek with these packing cubes.
I purchased two medium and two small cubes. I didn’t know what to expect but when I received them just in time to take a trip I tested them out.
The materials are great, they feel durable but soft. The design is also great. I like how the top can be pulled back with the tab to sort of “rip” it open for quick access.
The compression seemed to work very well. I was able to stuff a surprising amount of clothing in them. Initially I had to take a couple of items out because I was really pushing its limits but even after that I was impressed with what they can hold.
I like the addition of the dirty clothes section to help keep things separate.
I will be buying more of these in the future I’m sure, and probably other Peak Designs products.
Peak Design Compression Packing Cube. I have different packing cubes from different brands and this is my favorite. It holds a lot, it compresses, and the black tabs near the zipper allow you to rip it open without having to unzip.
I haven't been able to travel with them yet, but the features and the quality have been really great for EDC and for hiking. I got the three pack (small, medium, and shoe pouch) and the big surprise for me is how much I'm loving the shoe pouch. I knew what I was getting into with the small and medium pouch, but the shoe pouch's packability and water resistance is really great. It's the no fuss pouch and I love that.
I bought this last month, and I must say this is the best packing system I have ever owned. So if you have not upped your game and your are still using trash bags, this is a must have. It’s worth every penny!!!!
