Did my research. These are great quality and imo the compression actually helps. I used them on a 9 day trip with two different climates and they were very useful not only to pack more options but also to keep me organized. I am very happy with my purchase.
Can't state enough how happy I am with my peak design packing cube small. It's lightweight, durable, keeps shape really well and the design is really sleek! Fits perfectly in the bottom of my backpack taking up minimal space. And also I want to note how happy I am with peak designs customer service too. I don't know of any other company with customer service that can match theirs. Response is blazing fast, and keeps my life hassle free when it comes to their products! Definitely recommend!
Packing cubes and these in particular are a new event for me and they have been game changing. Everything fits and becomes so small! i also love the extra zipper pouches for forgotten items.
My family was about to head out on an extended vacation and space in our luggage would be at a premium. I researched packing cubes at various price points, settling on Peak Design’s small and medium cubes (along with the shoe pouch). During the trip, they got a LOT of use because we were moving around quite a bit, packing and unpacking. To the point: this product is well-made and does a terrific job compressing clothes to save space. The zippers are solid and well-stitched into the fabric. I never felt any give or potential to tear as I added and removed clothing. I highly recommend them even if you feel you could get something cheaper elsewhere. The quality and construction probably won’t be the same, which makes these cubes worth it.
I travel with my carry-on throughout the whole world, for the past 2 years. I used both medium and small packing cubes from PeakDesign and they do really amazing job of compressing my stuff. I'm using Small one right now only, as I think it's a better option for onebag travelers. The quality is excellent, no issues so far!
