Absolutely Perfect!
These are exactly what I wanted!! Here’s the summary but keep reading if you like juicy details:
• Great quality zippers and fabric - I don’t worry about it tearing when I’m zipping the compression (but probably still smart to do so carefully)
• LOVE the size options - perfect for organizing by type of clothing and easier to Tetris into luggage than more typical ones
• love the little pockets included at the bottom of the smallest cubes - didn’t even know it had those but will come in handy!
• it’s easy to be tempted to overfill because it seems so roomy when it’s not compressed, but just remember that the compression feature isn’t magic. But it’s also nice that if you do want to overfill and not compress you can too. Choose your own adventure!
I’ve been shopping for compression cubes for months now and had a million different ones sitting in my cart, but was too afraid to commit to a set because I was worried it wouldn’t be THE one. I already have two sets of pretty standard packing cubes but have never really loved them, so if I was going to spend $30+ for something I didn’t really need I wanted to love it!!
Well, due to an upcoming trip and me running out of time I was forced to choose one, and these were love at first sight! It has all of the features I wanted and they are great quality. The thing I’ve never liked about my old packing cubes is how big they are, because I always had to mix clothes together that I didn’t want to mix (ie swimsuits with pajamas, shirts with bottoms, etc). It was also a pain to pack because the biggest size always took up almost an entire side of the suitcase and really limited what else you could add to that side. These cubes, in my opinion, are PERFECT because you can organize more strategically with the smaller options and pack Tetris style to fit way more. I also love that there’s a little clear pocket on the top of the cube to add a label for each cube for what’s inside!
I didn’t think I needed a laundry bag because I usually just bring a garbage bag with me for that, but this will be much classier (ha).
As I mentioned above, it’s tempting to overfill because it seems like there’s still so much room left when it’s not compressed, but that feature isn’t magic so just be mindful of that when packing them. But it’s always an option to just stuff it full uncompressed!
Anyway, there’s always a risk that you’ll get a damaged product but in my opinion, you will be happy with this purchase!!
