I love it when you find a product so well designed (and made) that you feel lucky to own it, and glad to support folks who put this kind of thought into useful gear. One-zip open, compression zipper, lightweight, and the oh-so-clever compartment for dirty laundry. Perfection!
I was never a fan of packing cubes, but, someone recommended them to me, so I decided to try the ones from Peak Design; I'm happy I did. These make packing so much easier and unpacking even easier.
I have a whole set of packing cubes in medium (3) and small (7) and they've likely seen more miles in the last year than most people see in a lifetime. All very light very durable and a warranty i can trust. In fact just recently the stitching on a medium cube tore through and the zip started separating from the body at that stitch area. Emailed in, within a few days when I got back from that trip and now have a brand new one which is actually a newer and better version. Material much more robust but with all the same for qualities as the first gen
I have the medium cube and use the one cube to pack clothes for a weekend away. It fits 2-3 sets of undergarments, pair of shorts, a few shirts, socks all in the medium pouch. It also has a zippered pocket to stuff the dirty clothes once you wear it which is helpful and thoughtful design. Pull tab is great so you don't have to fumble with the zippers, not that the zippers aren't great.
I bought two small packing cubes a month ago, and i was surprised at how much they can fit. The top opening is great, it allows easy access to everything you put in them, be it with compression or not.
I bought a small and medium for a trip and I have to say it was probably the best purchase that I had made for the trip. I saved a bit of room with it and plan on using them more often.
