Awesome Bag for smaller items

Works exactly like I had hoped. The loops on the side help with clipping to larger bags or just carrying it. I’m a lifeguard and use this as my day bag. I can carry 2 tubes of sunscreen, a portable radio, boardshorts, small towel, knife, rope, hand sized notepad, sunglasses carrier, watch, a portable charger and a couple charging cables. Plenty of space for small essentials and it feels sturdy.

I wish I had gotten two of last year’s model

I have this cube in all three sizes from last year, and I came back to order another medium one because I find it the most useful size. I feel like this new 2019 model is a step-down in the quality (which is a surprise for something in the Patagonia Black Hole line, of which I am a big fan). This new one feels more “plastic-y” on the outside and the inside mesh is stiffer than my other ones. And I prefer the old metal zipper pulls to the new plastic/cord zipper pulls. Overall the “updates” are disappointing and I wish I could find another one of the “classic” ones.

Gets the job done but …

2 years ago

It works fine and it’s well-constructed. The capacity is massive. Great if you’re traveling abroad and need to bring extra medications, small first aid kit, etc. It could really benefit from subdividing one of the large compartments or just adding a couple of small zip pouches so that smaller and/or heavier items like nail clippers and tweezers are easier to secure and then locate. As much as I do like this thing it drives me mad how often I’m fishing through to find things or picking items up off the floor.

Disappointed…..

4 years ago

Bought a few of these for my son a few years ago. They were of great quality. I just purchased two of these for myself and I noticed Patagonia went to plastic zippers. Talk about bringing a product down! Very disappointed in my purchase. Couple years ago they’re using high quality ykk zippers and now cheap plastic.

Great toiletry kit -- 2 improvements needed!

2 years ago

I love this toiletry bag. Easy to access everything and a perfect size. I think there are two small improvements that would make it incredible: 1) the entire outside should be the slick water repellent material since I am always putting this on a wet counter; 2) the inside zippers should have a different color pull as I am constantly grabbing the wrong ones!

A magic bag

4 years ago

I put so much stuff in this bag, I feel like Mary Poppins. I’ve been using this as a toiletries bag for the past year and I’ve had no issues. The zippers work perfectly, easily wiped clean, and super durable.

No fuss toiletry bag

3 years ago

I use compression backing cubes for my clothing while traveling, and prefer to keep everything organized and quickly accessible in my bag. This is the perfect solution for carrying all of my toiletry items and medications while maintaining the ability to separate them into two compartments.

Zipper broke after 2 years of very light use

2 years ago

I use this as a toiletry bag as most folks do. After exactly 2 years of very light use one of the internal zippers broke. It's a cheap plastic zipper, was starting to stick and tug and finally snapped. 1 zipper left, but now I have no trust in this thing. Its a $20 product masquerading as a $45 product, don't bother with it.

Best travel toiletry bag ever - perfect size!

5 years ago

PERFECT SIZE - love the separate zippered compartments. On one side goes my toiletries, the other carries backup phone charging battery, cords, spare AA batteries, headphones, headlight. It's ready to grab & go whenever a trip comes up.
