I bought these about a month ago and have used them on a few trips since purchasing and I absolutely love them. They make organizing my suitcase infinitely simpler.
I need one half the size, to fit in my tiny 19 liter backpack. This cube worked great while using a 25L or 30L backpack. My new bag is 16" tall. I would totally still use Peak Design if like Wonka, I was able to use items in halves. More like 2 or 3 liters. Peak Design: Go.
I bought the medium and small packing cubes to go with my PD travel backpack and tried packing the small one with a half a stack of clothes from my closet. I was surprised to be able to take the rest of the stack out of the closet and fit it in the cube as well! Way more space than I was expecting.
I have the medium cube (which should be called large right?… unless they’re making another one?) and am looking at getting the small one as well. The medium is just the perfect size for everything I need, as far as my bigger outfit items, for up to a week, which is amazing. No rifling through the bag to find one thing, you just open the packing cube and know where everything is. The second compartment for dirty clothes is genius, and can also be used to separate items for some other reason if you’re wanting two sections. I had to leave for a friend’s house last minute where I’d be watching their kids for a few days, but didn’t want to take a large bag. I put my clothes into one side of the cube, toiletries in the back section, and just took that along with my purse and a jacket. The handle made it easy, and they just live up the street so I didn’t need a lot of gear. It just made that scenario super easy.
I bought the small travel cube in dark green for my partner in Feb 2022. Several years ago I bought the first generation travel cubes in gray, which I love. I noticed a difference with the new green cube -- the zippers feel sturdier. I love my full line of original gray cubes, and my partner's is a nice upgrade. We sometimes share a bag if we're going on a short trip so I appreciate the different colors that help keep our cubes differentiated. My only suggestion would be to place the zipper for the dirty clothes on the end of the cube. When it's on the side, I have to search for it because I never remember which side it's on. Putting it on the end opposite of the zippers would solve that. Thanks Peak!
I’ve been using those packing cubes (both sizes) for a couple years, they show no sign of wear at all. Design is smart, materials feel good… a no-brainer for me!
