Quality built bags

I have a bunch of these bags. They're very durable much more so than I expected and the material is great. I have definitely over packed them a few times. Even if they do break they're backed by a lifetime guarantee if you register it so I can justify the price. I use them mainly car camping/overlanding to stay organized and packing for flights when room is essential.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very happy so far

I bought four of the small packing cubes a few weeks ago before a two-week trip to Europe. I had bought and returned a set from Eagle Creek because they seemed flimsy. This Peak Design style is awesome. Not flimsy, so they are easy to pack, but not so thick that they take up a lot of space. The compression feature is pretty easy to use and I love the opposite compartment for dirty clothes. I mostly use a carry on roller board and mine can fit three small on one side and then another small (with shoes and my toiletry bag) on the other side. I packed tops in one, bottoms and dresses in another, undies and PJs in another, and swim suits and workout gear in the last one. I stayed super organized even after 8 different hotels in 13 nights. My boyfriend was jealous haha. A couple of other sizing notes: I had originally bought the medium but it was just too big. Unless you’re a large person or want to pack sweaters, I would buy smalls. Also I had read that the 30L Peak Design bag (which I have) can fit 3 smalls (aka 3 units), but it can actually fit more because they can stand on their sides. We’ll see how they hold up, but so far super happy with my purchase!

Very good, just wish it was a bit stiffer

This is the best packing cube I've used (though I haven't used many). I especially like the clear separation between clean and dirty clothes, and the compression zip. In fact, while I returned the Travel backpack, I kept this for use in my Tortuga Outbreaker, because it was better than the Tortuga cubes.
The only problem I've had is that it doesn't hold its shape: all the clothes just fall out when you open it, so you have to either immediately find somewhere to store them in your hotel room, or stuff them all back in and zip it up again. This is especially annoying when you're, say, getting a your sweater out on a plane. So I'd like to see a version with stiffer sides so that you can just leave it open on the table in your hotel room, or remove one item without all the rest bursting out.

Perfect packing cube

I used my medium sized packing cube for a 4 day trip to New Orleans and it was perfect! I had a sweatshirt, pants, 4 pairs of shorts, 4 t-shirts, and a button down shirt all tucked away in the cube. I did not fully pack the cube because it was first time use and I wanted to be careful. NO PROBLEM! fits perfectly in a 38 liter bag. Going to purchase the small size for underwear and socks and will have the perfect combination for travel for a week or more. Thanks Everyday Travel Bags!

I went through a process of buying a lot of packing cubes to try and land on the right now. These came out on top. Great material and design.

I got both sizes (small & medium). The quality is great but I wish there is a larger size.

Expensive but worth it

I have used a number of other packing cubes over the years, but none are convenient as the peak. I’ve got both the Smalls and mediums and both sage and charcoal.
The shape and the fact they open completely make them the easiest to pack and compress and they are deceptively large. I’m pretty big, xxl everything. I got two pair of Orvis Jackson pants 9not shorts), 6 Columbia long sleeve bahama II shirts and a couple of tee shirts in a medium. And they fit perfectly in a carryon suit case.
I don’t know if this is correct or perception, but the sage feel a little heavier and rougher than the charcoal.
Don’t think twice, if you’re looking for compression cubes, these are the ones

This is the real deal

I have used packing cubes for some time, both for organization and compression. These provide the best of both worlds and are light weight and simple to use. Used last year in Europe and got a ton of clothes in a carryon for the trip. Don’t waste you time on Eagle Creek or any of the knock offs if your looking for compression.
