When I pack to go somewhere, I pack as light as possible. But sometimes, I need more things than normal and don’t like to bring a big suit case. I’m always putting clothes in trash bags and sitting on it to get the air out. I also have vacuum bags, but not every place has a vacuum to use to shrink the bags for on the way home. These are an ok alternative. They don’t shrink it as much as I need it to shrink, or as much as putting things in a trash bag and sitting on it. They do help as shown in my pictures, but not as much as I hoped. They are good to keep things organized too.

These cubes are well made and the material is great quality. Unfortunately, I didn't find the compression very good. I got 6 men's XL tshirts in the largest one, but not sure they took up much less space after ""compression"". Maybe I was expecting them to be more like the vacuum compression bags when they're nothing like them. They will still be useful for organizing smaller luggage. Packing cubes are always nice.

I finally got to use these for a trip to our family’s vacation property. I was able to pack about 5 days worth of full outfits, workout clothes, and several bathing suits using just the 2 large and 2 small bags. The four bags fit into my carry on suitcase along with the rest of the stuff I needed to bring. So far they have held up to the packing routine and the play routine with the cats. They are made of a fairly lightweight, pliable, and quiet material. I am a little skeptical how they will hold up over multiple trips but time will tell, otherwise I am so far happy.

Maybe it’s just me, but I just couldn’t manage to make these compress enough to make that much of a difference. I could get the compression zippers about 1/2 way around but that’s about it. I have to say though, despite all my tugging and pulling the zippers never broke and the fabric never tore so they’re durable enough. So, I’m sure the issue is probably user error and if you’re a better packer than me, these may be just the thing for you.

These are pretty clever. They work like the expansion pack on your luggage. You pack them with your clothes or fabric items (something that can shrink somewhat) then you zip them up and then there is a second set of zippers that does the “compression” These are NOT a vacuum type contraption so don’t expect “air removal” type compression. The def work the best if you were to fold items and not roll them up. They aren’t magic so if you have, for example a pile of flat cotton shirts it’s only going to compress so much. These are worth it for travelers that are good about packing and what to strategize their space. If you’re already good at packing and want to minimalist a little more then these are for you Pros. 1 At best they eliminate 30-40% space when you happen to have just the right circumstances 2. Nice sizes and they usually compartmentalize nicely in luggage side by side 3. The whole pile is almost weightless. Maybe 4 oz total 4. These are good if you are trying to create space when you pack light because you plan on bringing home items from vacation Cons. 1. Not the best construction. I would like to have products like this just be a little more expensive and in turn, constructed better. You go into a product like this knowing you’re going to put stress on them so when you look down and see it splitting or unraveling you sadly are unsurprised and the inevitable disappointment sets in. Just make them double stitch with thick nylon and give me some ykk zippers and I’ll pay. 2. When they do work they still result in a kind of bubble/clamshell shape because most of the compression is on the edges obviously 3. For people who wear size large shirts and pants or even bigger you might end up being too efficient with these and think you can pack more in your large sized luggage but you just end up filling that extra space and then you have a luggage that weighs way too much for the airport. Usually when I fill my luggage I end up at 40lbs in a large sized luggage. The new found xtra space these allow just ended up giving me space to mess myself up and end up at 60 lbs which is too much for US airport travel

I live out of a duffel bag these days between my fiancée's house and mine and couldn't do it and keep my sanity without packing cubes to keep things organized. I have several sets that I use regularly, and these are always in the mix. They're very well made, lightweight & not bulky with quality zippers. I carry an extra one or two with me just because they take up no space on their own. They compress nicely - zippers and sticking both hold up well. My only complaint is that I wish they opened up just a little more than they do - the openings on most of them are staggered from one side to the other and in my opinion could come down a little further to make the opening larger when unzipped. Otherwise, very happy with them.

These packing cubes are a nice addition to my travel needs. They are handy for shoes, clothes and dirty laundry and come on several sizes.

These bags are very lightweight. You unzip the black zipper to expand it and the green zipper to put your clothes in. Both the large and small bags are easy to fill and fit the amount of clothes per the description. The roll up your clothes pro tip was helpful. Once packed, the green zipper was easy to close. The black zipper is challenging to close. The inner lining kept getting stuck in the zipper and it was difficult to compress and zip. Once zipped, it did offer a compressed package. The positives for me are they are lightweight, allows me to keep different clothing items (t-shirts, pants) separated, I can fit much more in my bag, and my bag is much more organized when I unpack.

Great for organizing your suitcases. I like to keep my suitcases neat and orderly when traveling. These are great for separating my underwear, socks, tee-shirts, and my workout clothes. The bags have a zipper that you use to expand the bags 3 1/2 inches. The construction is pretty durable. I’m hoping that it doesn’t ravel over time with use.

This is a really nice set of compression bags. The zippers seem like a good quality. Only negative is I wished the zippers allowed you to open up completely instead of 3/4 the way. It would make it easier to pack garments. Other than that satisfied.

Good cubes overall. I like the lightweight material best. seems strong. We'll see how the seams hold up, especially when compressed. I've always used cubes when travelling, but wanted to upgrade my old non compression cubes. I can't say that these really save a ton of space over non compression style, but I like them overall. For reference, I used only the 2 larger cubes, which fit perfectly in my carry on, with room for my toiletries also. In those 2 cubes I packed: 2 pairs of jeans, a button down flannel, a lightweight hoodie, 5 tshirts, 5 pairs of socks, and 5 pairs of underwear. I do like the dimensions of the cubes. Like I said, the 2 large ones fit perfectly in my carry on, but the small one is exactly half the size of the large, so 2 small ones would allow a little more options. I do wish the set came with either 1 large and 2 small for cheaper or 2 large and 2 small for slightly more.

I was extremely skeptical of these packing cubes when I received them, as they are so thin and lightweight I was worried about their durability. It turns out, my worries were unfounded; I was able to fully stuff these cubes, and the zippers held beautifully, as did the stitching. My husband and I took our kids on vacation, and we were determined everyone would just take a backpack. The largest of these cubes allowed me to pack five days worth of clothes into my own ~15 inch height backpack ("regular" size backpack, see pic), along with a small toiletry bag and travel scarf. I packed my husband's clothes into the other large cube for his bag (slacks, swim trunks, two tees, two button-downs, and a thin sweater, see pics), used the smallest bag for his socks, undies, belt, and sunglasses (pic), then used the two small cubes for two of my children's clothes (see my pic of one packed with shorts, leggings, swimsuit, tee, undies, and a sweater with plenty of room left), and had them all put the bags into their personal backpacks. It worked wonderfully, and I just wish I had another set of cubes so I could have packed my other kids' clothes into them! These packing cubes are amazingly lightweight (perfect since we didn't need additional weight to carry), and the nylon ripstop material is strong. The zippers all pull easily, and I didn't have problems with them getting stuck on the bags themselves (an issue I've encountered with other compression cubes). I like the slightly see-through material, as it makes it easy to see the bags' contents, and the carry handles on the top, perfect for pulling them out of a backpack. Depending on how I pack them, and exactly what I pack (obviously something like jeans won't smoosh well), I can save almost half the space of just stuffing my clothes into a regular (non-compression) cube. Too bad it also doesn't make the contents weigh less... ;-) Overall, these cubes are great for organization and for saving space. They are durable, and I anticipate years of usage in hopefully many more travels. I would recommend these compression cubes.

Love these compression cubes! They were exactly what I was looking for. They have the main zipper and then the compression zipper. Many other packing cubes do not have this feature. In addition, these don't have a mesh covering which I actually prefer. Despite the fact that it doesn't have mesh covering, you can still see through into it and finding things in the bags are still easy to do. I tested to see the durability of these bags by placing a blanket in it. It worked great. I decided to add another blanket just to see how it did. I have to say it did pretty well. The zipper felt sturdy and strong. It didn't feel like it was going to break. The seams didn't appear to be pulling apart, like others I have used. I really love these. I just worry about the material because it does feel plasticky. If not careful, I can puncture it depending on what I place in the bags. But seeing as I will be using these for clothes during travel, I don't believe that should be an issue. Highly recommend these!

Checking a bag at the airport is something I try to avoid, so it's essential to have everything in a small carryon. These packing cubes make it easy to not only organize everything, but they also compress clothing so they take up less space. Place items neatly either rolled or folded (my choice) in the bag, zip the green zipper almost closed and then zip the grey zipper around and watch your items begin to compress. Be sure to keep a finger between the bag fabric and the bottom side of the zipper as you zip to avoid the bag fabric from getting caught in the zipper. Press lightly and then finish closing the green zipper. It doesn't compress as tightly as a vacuum system, but you also don't have to keep up with or pack the vacuum tools. Great set which includes 5 different sizes of zipper bags and a drawstring bag for dirty laundry, etc.

Great packing cubes. Great variety of sizes to pack most of your clothes. I used them to primary keep my socks, underwear, and tshirts separated. Was able to pack everything but pants and sweatshirts in these Bright in color and they are also hard to lose thankfully! Sturdy with strong zippers and fabric. Didn't seem to matter how much I put in, the zippers, zipper seams and fabric handled everything.
