Using it to makeshift a product I want

I got this large packing cube because it perfectly fits inside my small carryon roller luggage. Camera gear is incredibly heavy and I don’t want to pack for an entire wedding in my backpack or a duffel and I don’t like the hard shell roller 2-wheel carryons for gear that are on the market. I’m wanting 4 wheels & it be designed to hold camera gear with a hard shell but not look like it’s a camera bag. The packing cube is my solution to creating my one with a 4-bag I already have until hopefully peak design makes one eventually
I have bought the Camera Cube V2 in 3 different sizes (S/SM/M). I can customise my equipment selection for most jobs and the gear fits nicely into my Mystery Ranch rucksack. I highly recommend these cubes to anyone who is looking for a smart kit storage/packaging solution.
Well made and at a good price compared to similar products from other manufacturers as far as I can make out.
But on first use, my camera and lenses that I put in it are covered all over in dust and tiny bits of fluff (from the lining presumably). I was honestly shocked and concerned for my gear - it's not environmentally sealed and I'd be surprised if some of this detritus didn't make it inside. I'm sure you could vacuum it out or wipe it all out before using, but it's not a good first impression and not something I've experienced with any other gear, let alone 'premium' gear like Peak's stuff.
I bought the cube to protect two camera bodies in my Breakwater 25lit dry bag. The medium cube was too small- but the large is perfect. The return of the medium was seamless. Looking forward to using it in Antarctica!
I own many camera cubes, but I needed a smaller design to protect my Fujifilm X-T5 and it needed to fit inside a 15L backpack I recently acquired. After a few days of browsing I finally purchased the XS and it couldn’t have worked out better. Its design is very thoughtful, I can tell the team at PD truly has intention behind their design choices. Extra points for using sustainable materials!!
I’m considering getting the Small size on my next purchase.
