I bought this packing cubes for my travel in august after seeing many options from other brands. This are the most well build, pratical and I love them.
These Packing Cubes are a fantastic travel essential. Its sleek design and durable construction make it perfect for organizing my clothes during any trip while looking good doing it. The Medium size is ideal for packing a large variety of items with plenty of space to spare. The compression feature helps save space in my luggage allowing me to take anything and everything I think I might need fitting carrying capacity of two packing cubes but only requiring me to make space in my bag for one. The special divider makes it simple to know what needs to be washed before it should be worn again and keeping everything nicely organized through the whole trip. The clean look with solid construction make this easy to recommend.
I bought my first one a while back, and just bought another for a friend... These are incredible and a must have on your travels! My first one is still in great shape, I always take it with me wherever and it has never failed. Light and convenient with a dirty pouch, extension space... what more do you need??
Need I say mora than my girlfriend didn’t believe in packing cubes until we tried this one last weekend? Now she loves using them. It would be perfect if the compression was a little but smoother, but the fact that it works when overpacking tells you it’s amazing. So the product itself is perfect my usage might be a little imperfect.
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.
