Great packing cubes

I purchased these a year ago and liked them so much that I purchased additional cubes for my wife and daughter. These are super light weight and have features most other packing cubes do not, such as a separate compartment on the reverse side for dirty clothes. In my opinion, if you normally use packing cubes, these are the best ones your money can buy. They are not cheap but worth every dollar you spend. Highly recommend......*****!
Quality materials with a slippery fabric designed for ease of slipping in and out of tight spaces but a little harder to grip as a result. They do look very nice, for what that's worth. I did have one minor seam tear when trying to squeeze some things in almost immediately (which hasn't impacted functionality yet), but I will take that up with Peak Design and they seem like they would do the right thing.
The second pocket for dirty items is great. My only complaint is the material, while seemingly durable is very light/unstructured making them a bit harder to initially organize that my more robust Eagle Creek (non-compression) set, and they do get a bit rounded when completely stuffed to capacity so they tend to be taller in the middle than the edges. If I have space to spare and I'm packing top down in a suitcase, I might use those. But this is kind of unavoidable without using a more structured design that would add weight and decrease compressibility. Overall, 9/10 for the intended use case of really squeezing every ounce out of available space. I traveled for 11 days in far north Scandinavia out of a carry-on using these, snow boots and layers and all.
Super functional product, namely the compartment separation for new/used clothes. Unfortunately I ran into a QC issue where the zipper component separated from the bag. Luckily my tailor was able to patch that up easily.
After trying several other packing cubes, we bought these as we are big peak design fans…and we were not disappointed!!! These are far and away the best packing cubes we have ever owned and they are worth every penny!!!
I travel 1-2 times/wk and struggled to fit everything into a carryon before finding these packing cubes. I tried several others (including Tumi) and Peak Design’s cubes are the best. They hold more than you can think and I never check a bag, even when traveling for 10 days. The zippers with the mesh work perfectly to compress sweaters & other bulky items so they fit effortlessly into an international carry-on. Every frequent flyer that I introduced these packing cubes to, will never buy another brand again.
I bought these to take on a three week trip – two medium and one small. They were fantastic. I was able to pack much more intelligently by using the cubes, and I could fit a surprising amount inside them. Their best feature is being able to compress them, it's so helpful. I also really like the quick pull zips to open them, which makes getting inside them more convenient.
On most trips I take, after a few days my case is a mess of dirty and clean clothes and various accessories all mixed up. Thanks to these packing cubes, my case was simple and organised for the entire trip this time. I'll definitely be buying a couple more of them.
Haven't used these cubes yet but build quality is very high and as advertised. This was part of my first Peak Design product purchase and I am happy thus far. Looking forward to my next trip to utilize.
