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.
Packing cube fabric and zippers are top notch. The separate compartment for dirty clothes is a nice touch. Pull tabs are great for quick opening. I also like that you can open the bag all the way. Great product as always.
Amazing quality on the packing cube. The material feels soft yet solid all around. I was able to pack so much into the cube without worrying about whether it would fit. I have other packing cubes that feel a lot less sturdy and worry about the seams or zippers bursting. I have two medium packing cubes to use for my duffel and now I am looking to go for the small so I can fit one in my backpack for shorter trips.
Having previously purchased a few Peak camera bags, I thought I would try some of the travel accessories (packing cubes, camera cube, wash and tech bags). They were great and helped cut down my packing time and repacking time when it was time to head home. If you appreciate being organized and like quality products that have been thoughtfully designed, these are a must. How about a rolling suitcase next?!
Received my wash pouches and a medium packing cube today. While I really love the wash pouch, the packing cube is a bit of disappointment. It tears in my first try with 4 pairs of clothes. Still like it as it fit my bag well but really expect more
Have just returned from a 12 day backpacking adventure in Georgia using these packing cubes and wow I'm sold. The pack down method works wonders and compresses your clothes easily. I was able to fit so much into my 35L backpack and it made packing a breeze. There were times that I thought there was no way the zips would hold on but they continuously powered through and I found myself testing how far I could push them. The sizing is perfect for my backpack and the quick open function works a treat for quick access. Highly recommend this product.
I ended buying a set of three for each member in our family (wife and two children). We travel together and this makes the packing/unpacking less stressful and much more efficient.
All the components look strong and resistant but they're light and flexible at the same time. Pulling zippers work like a charm, the “laundry” pocket is an smart addition (great when you have to pack dirty clothes on your late checkouts) and overall they feel well done and thought-through products.
I've been using them for few months now and exposing them to some abuse (I've been carrying them on several trips to the beaches, waterfalls and mountains of Thailand) and they are holding well and looking like new after a quick rinse of water.
Seriously, I've tried a bunch of packing cubes, and techniques. These are the best without a doubt. They are durable, lightweight, versatile, and functional. Well worth the money
