Poor decision, I know
I used these to pack over a week's worth of clothes, including shoes, into a carry-on bag for a wedding. It was a 40L bag packed to the gills. Poor decision, I know, but I'm a man of principles, and my principles state that if I have to mortgage my house to get a ticket in coach, I'm not going to pay you even more to check a bag for me. The TSA didn't like me a whole lot, and they got their revenge with a pretty intrusive pat-down, but that's fine with me. My privacy lost but my principles won.
I'm amazed by how well these cubes held out to the abuse I dished out. I mean, it was military-grade. It would have killed a sea bag without a doubt. They stretched to accommodate everything I threw at them, and they never even gave me any difficulty zipping them up. No rips or tears in the mesh, even after suffering through a Great Pyrenees sleeping and walking on them. If you put anything other than a Grizzly inside of one of these, it'll probably stay put.
So there you have it. These things annoy the TSA, tolerate two tons of hairy and slobbery dog affection, will hold enough clothes to keep you smelling acceptable for over a week, and may serve as a bear trap in a pinch. I'm considering buying multiple sets, so I can use one cube to contain all the others, and while I won't suggest that you follow me that far down the rabbit hole, I will say that if you're thinking about picking up a set of these for yourself, you should go ahead and do it. I doubt you'll have any regrets.
