Durable!? Nahhh....
on April 20, 2021
Posted by: Coskovic
I bought the small and medium-sized packing cube last year and use them quite often (every Weekend). Although the cubes look good they are not as durable as marketed.
The grip of the medium packing cube have unfortunately started to give up and it won't be there for a long time.

Small packing cube is a-okay
on May 6, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
I got two small packing cubes so that I could have one with "definitely going to wear" stuff and another for backup & just-in-case stuff. I put the backup cube in the bottom corner of my pack and because it zips down into a rounded shape I could fit more things in the corner spaces around it. The other one sat higher up for daily access and being able to put the used clothes back in the same bag on the other side worked perfectly. I used to throw all used clothes in a stuffsack which would grow and throw off my organization as it grew. Able to definitely get by with one small cube on a casual long weekend.

I own the Travel Backpack, which in the interests of fairness I just reviewed (5 stars). Compared to the quality of that bag, these packing cubes are... disappointing.
The quality is acceptable. I'm not saying these are terrible, they're actually fairly typical. But they're priced as high-end packing cubes, and I don't feel that they deliver on their cost. I don't have any confidence they'll last even half the lifetime of the bag, and when I have to replace them I'll be looking at other options.

Great features with two major design flaw

These bags are great at compression and fitting as many clothes as you can in the space. The zippers are incredibly sturdy and the handles are great. Two major design flaws: the handle straps are too thin and the compression zipper does not have any protection around it, and your fingers will be severely cramped when you try to use the compression feature to zip your clothes up.
Other than this, if you're looking for a simple and functional packing cube with no muss and fuss, this would suffice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A really good packing cube which maximizes space

First, the great: materials are top notch, reliability seems good so far, compression is effective and I can easily cram more clothes into this cube than its competition. 12"x12" is a good size for most backpacks and travel packs.
The not so great: the plastic pull tabs a gimmick, in my opinion, and they too easily will open under pressure from the clothes if packed tightly. I often have to double-check this before I pull the cube out of my luggage. I'd much rather a zipper than ran the full circumference of the cube. The laundry compartment would be better accessed by a similar zipper; it only runs on one side so packing the laundry side as flat as the clean side (to maintain the same size and space) is challenging. The curvature of the bottom can be hard to pack into compared to a cube with a little more structure.
Overall I really like this cube and if I have a lot of clothes to bring it's become my first choice. But it's not my favorite to use compared to more classic options.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for One Bag Travellers
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: Mauro
I've been looking everywhere for a packing cube that is both lightweight and made of strong materials. As someone who travels with one bag only for long extended trips, I want a packing cube that can hold a lot of clothes but compact enough to not take too much space in my bag. With the peak design packing cubes compression system it's a miracle how many clothes I can manage to bring without sacrificing space for my gear ! That with the quick tear straps and clean look makes this packing cube my favourite travel accessory, I strongly recommend anyone looking for a reliable packing cube to consider trying this one !

Much better than I expected and I was expecting greatness! The materials are insane once I got my hands on it. Super light, but still clearly very durable. I was afraid the extra features would weigh down my one-bag packing setup, but nope, still floatin’ like a butterfly. The dirty laundry compartment alone makes these worth every penny. I’m still getting used to not having outer mesh to see what’s inside, but honestly it’s a non-issue.

I’m impressed
on December 13, 2022

I purchased two medium and two small cubes. I didn’t know what to expect but when I received them just in time to take a trip I tested them out.
The materials are great, they feel durable but soft. The design is also great. I like how the top can be pulled back with the tab to sort of “rip” it open for quick access.
The compression seemed to work very well. I was able to stuff a surprising amount of clothing in them. Initially I had to take a couple of items out because I was really pushing its limits but even after that I was impressed with what they can hold.
I like the addition of the dirty clothes section to help keep things separate.
I will be buying more of these in the future I’m sure, and probably other Peak Designs products.
I would recommend this to a friend!
