The stretchy expansion panels are great, zippers are super sturdy, and the compression is impressive. One medium and two small packing cubes were enough for two weeks in Europe in the fall, and I’m not a particularly light packer either. The dirty laundry section is amazing for keeping things organized. After my trip I loaned them to my brother who used them for three back-to-back trips and they still look like new.
I never understand the point of packing cubes until I got a set of these. They swallow up clothes like a black hole and the compression feature is amazing. My wife borrowed mine for a trip and now my whole family has a set.
I love these packing cubes but the design flaw is that when the cube is full the zippers just keep opening the main compartment… needs a way to securing closed in my opinion. I’m not as worried about a quick opening as I am a secure closure
I bought the small packing cube and it’s just amazing. There’s shape is great and fits perfectly in a carryon suitcase as well as a peak design backpack (of course). The easy open feature is my favorite and the separated laundry compartment is just genius. It feels super high quality. I loved it so much I got a second one in a different color.
Our family recently took our first vacation to Southeast Asia for three weeks, which gave me my first chance to use the Peak Design Packing Cubes. We changed hotels every 3 to 4 days, so being able to move hassle-free with our luggage was an important factor for me. However, my wife and kids were not convinced. When they saw my packing cubes, they called me the “bag clown” and decided to just toss their stuff in the luggage and be done with it. After a week, they began searching frantically for specific items and trying to find fresh clothes. This only got worse over time.
My experience with the packing cubes was completely different. The various colors and sizes helped me immediately identify where everything was. As soon as something wasn’t fresh anymore, I moved it to the back of the cube. When it was time to change hotels, the only items I needed to pack were those that didn’t belong in the cubes, like toiletries and tech gear. A major source of travel stress was simply gone. By the end of the holiday, my wife was eyeing my packing cubes enviously.
I’ve had the Peak Design Packing Cube for about a month now and used it on a five-day trip. The two-compartment system is incredibly convenient, eliminating the need for a separate bag for dirty clothes. Overall, I’m really happy with it. It holds much more than I expected, thanks to the compression feature.
