Fits a week worth of clothes!

Fits a week worth of clothes: 1-2 pants, 1-2 shorts, 6 t-shirts, belt, button ups, a light jacket. And can expand for more. Material feels really nice too. The first one I had actually got a tear in in a few years in, but Peak Designs just sent me a new one for free no hassle--great company!
At first I was skeptical on how much clothes it would fit but when I tested it out, I was able to fit two heavy duty cargo pants, four shirts and two jackets. I also love the separate compartment for dirty clothes so that I if I don’t go through all my clothes in the cubes, I can still keep the dirty ones out of way. The only thing I would change is to maybe add some kind of connection clip for the zippers because when the cube is really full, the zippers tend to become undone, unzipping themselves. granted, it’s not much of an issue since they’ll just be inside my bad until I need to open them.
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 have only used it once so far for a camping trip, but it was easily able to fit 4 outfits with undergarments and socks. I like the separate compartment for dirty clothes, although I do wish it expanded a bit more. The pull-to-open feature is very handy too!
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.
