Horrible quality, ripped on first use.

Ripped at seams on my first packing. Absolutely ridiculous for the cost. Don’t buy these. I saw so many good reviews on YouTube and this is what I got!
I got them a month ago an they are now part of my travelling essentials. I won't do without from now to be honest. The pocket at the bottom is genius and allows for easy sorting of the clothes without having to use an extra bag. They compress very well and I was very surprise with the amount of clothes that can fit in them. Definitely worth a buy!
I like this cube very much, the only unusual thing is its proportions, as it is longer and thinner than usual cubes. I love the zipped part for the dirty clothes!
Pros: Very light, but not ultralight. Best part is the compression/expansion system. It works quite well to compress without using straps, so you don't cause more wrinkles/creases in your clothes. The mesh expansion area is perfect for airing out damp clothing when needed. Easy open zipper gap at front, but has a major downside if you over pack (see below).
Cons: Zippers spread open pretty easily if you overpack. Easy open zipper gap is more of a liability than benefit. Dirty separate section below is pretty small, you won't be able transfer all of your clothes into it.
I've used these on two trips of 10 days and 15 days now and wow, best packing cubes I've ever used. I've hated using compression packing cubes in the past because of the weird shape they turn into once compressed - the sides more compressed than the center, which doesn't fit well into any suitcases or other bags. The PD design is perfect, compressing while keeping a packable shape. The built in dirty laundry separation is also so handy!
Absolutely love these packing cubes! I bought two small Peak Design packing cubes and couldn’t be happier. They may be small, but they pack a serious punch. The main compartment is expandable and easily fits around four sets of t-shirts, socks, and boxers. There’s a separate top compartment which I found perfect for storing used clothes. The compression zip is a great touch for keeping everything compact. I especially appreciate the thoughtful design — you can open the cube smoothly by pulling the top flaps, and the zips glide open effortlessly. It’s these little details that make a big difference. Highly recommend!
I don’t know how I packed without these before! After getting the Patagonia Mini MLC, I discovered that the large packing cube fits perfectly—and when compressed, it truly fits everything. The materials feel incredibly high-quality, and I love that you don’t lose any space. The built-in dirty side for laundry is genius and keeps everything organized. 10/10—I seriously don’t know how I lived without these. I’m already planning to gift them for Christmas. Also, the Sage color is adorable. So glad I found these!
