Yellow Slider Fall Off Easily

Cons

Best Uses

Airline Travel

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

I used this product on a tour of the Philippines and Vietnam both in my airplane/bus luggage and my backpack for hiking in the jungle. It does work in compacting travel gear easily due to the one way vents on the end, but the yellow slider fell off with light field use and subsequently during airline travel. This is more than a nuisance as losing this small piece in light airplanes could have jammed controls if it fell in the wrong place. Furthermore, the watertight integrity was compromised by this piece routinely falling off. Don't expect to use this for actual waterproofing in the field. I'm going to limit future use to just normal travel to compact clothes and afford some water resistance.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

My husband and I picked up a pack of these tonight and played with them in preparation for my two month trip between two very different climates.
I found the medium bags to be the most useful. The large ones are best used for a large, flat suitcase, which is not what I'm going to be bringing with me.
The clothes, we found, flatten best when they're folded flat instead of wadded up. If you do have a flat suitcase, I found that it was very effective to get as much air out without rolling the bag/clothes, then stand on top of it with a flat surface. This produced a very flat and packable result. Do it at your own risk though! You'd want to make sure that you didn't burst the bag.
I have no problem with the zipper… it seriously isn't hard to get the yellow tab back on if it comes off. Just slide it back on the end? I'd take them off the bag after its all closed up and store them somewhere they wouldn't be lost during transit.
It does do amazing things for fluffy items! Wool and dense fabrics aren't as good, but overall, I had a lot more room in my suitcase after using the bags. I was able to pack almost everything that I needed for my trip between all three bags. I'll get another set of 3 so I can put less in each bag, which allows for more effective packing.
I hope that they'll be durable, but honestly, if they'll save me the trouble of checking luggage for my upcoming trip, they'll have more than paid for themselves.
Overall, when I used the bags, I had a lot more room in my suitcase left over. That space could easily be filled by many things! The pictures are the same items, first condensed into the small, medium and large bags, then just folded in the suitcase. Judge for yourself if they're the best choice for you!

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

I've had these sacks for more than 1 yr....they are great. I pack very light so these help cut down on the volume.one suggestion: avoid buying the knock-offs at [...]. I tried those and they ripped on my 1st trip. these eagle creek seem to hold up well.if you're a serious traveler, these will help out a lot. i'm a big fan.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

I really use these bags! I have used them to pack for a surfing trip with accessories, then with camping gear, and recently with trekking stuff and it was always great to have them. The quality is great and you get used to count with them for every trip.

Good for carry-on luggage

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

I've found the medium size works best for carry-on roll-aboards. They fit well into the usual 22"X14" case. You can put about 4 shirts into one medium bag. If you fold your clothes carefully and flat, they don't wrinkle up and in fact are protected from scrunching by the stiff shrink-wrap. Allows you to cram more into a carry-on, especially bulky cold weather clothes like sweaters. Works well and the material seems rugged. The closure is a zip-lock so the yellow band is only a convenience item to make it easier to seal up. It does pop off once in a while, but is non-essential and to replace it you just thread it back on. Takes about 2 seconds. The large size is more "suitable" for checked luggage.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

A great way to pack bulky items like pillows, fleece and capilene undergarments, waders and other layering items. Yellow closure tab can come loose and get lost. Company provided replacements gratis, quickly. Closure tab comes loose frequently but is remarkably easy to reinstall. My two bags have held up through a half a dozen trips, so far.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

Great concept. Tough fabric. Poor closure design. The zip closure seals well but the yellow tab that locks the sides together easily comes off. There are no instructions on how to put it back on and it isn't obvious how to do it. Too frustrating for me. I returned the product.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

This bag works great, but after a year and a half of world travel it finally developed a leak. It frees up a lot of room in my bag but makes things really wrinkled. It just depends on what is more important to you, looking freshly pressed or having more room.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-it Compression Set:

Superb quality in the materials allow these compressible bags to retain their strength under excessive compression. Easy to use. A usual suitcase full of clothing was able to accomodate twice the amount (if not more) without having someone sit on it while zipping up. TSA inspectors have to love not have things explode (pun intended) out of overly compressed baggage when doing searches. Price may be a bit more than competitor products, but the material strength is worth the pennies.
