How can you be excited about a packing cube? Buy a Peak Design packing cube and find out. It feels SO nice, and the material is self-healing (whaaat?!) and as per usual with PD gear I found more; a second pouch for say, dirty laundry in the back of it. I also use it in my bike pack to hold stuff I want quick access to.
I use packing cubes every time travel. Over the years, I have accumulated packing cubes from Peak Design, Eagle Creek, Patagonia and Aer. By far Peak Design is my favorite. The combination of compression and laundry pocket makes them especially useful for long trips where space is tight and you want to stay organized. I also like the raw (white) color option. For me, it makes it easier to see what is inside.
Unrelated to Peak Design packing cubes, I do recommend the KonMari method of folding vs rolling or stacking your clothes in a packing cube. It makes it much easier to see everything in the cube.
I love the sage colors of the cubes and really love how quality and sturdy it is. I almost overstuff them and never have felt like the seams or zippers are going to rip or split. I can fit a week's worth of clothes in the small and medium together and love it!
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.
