Great bag for Dopp Kit
Nice light weight yet sturdy material for packing and organizing. Mesh material and nylon strap carrying handle make this ideal for when we are camping or for use in the RV. The design allows for the bag to be expanded or compressed as needed if space is a concern. The zippers are rather small and may not hold tightly compressed items. Overall a lightweight bag that can be very useful for multiple purposes. Don’t leave home without them!
Great for regular travels and hiking
I really appreciate these little bags, which are much more versatile than I originally imagined. I actually bought them mostly for toiletries on regular travel trips, but found that they are super helpful for all kinds of circumstances, including staying organized while backpacking. In the past, I used to use a lot of zip lock-type bags in order to keep organized while hiking, but these seem like they'll wear well over many years and I appreciate their handles and how they expand (like a suitcase that gets larger). All around a great little bag to have for all kinds of adventures.
attractive useful packing cubes
I have been using REI packing cubes for years. I already have two full sets (each set is 1 each of S/M/L). When travelling to cool/cold areas, I will bring a few extra layers, maybe extra heavy socks for hiking, etc, so I needed a few more cubes. These are an odd shape - long and thinner, rather than rectangular -- but perfect for heavy hiking socks, rolled T-shirts or pajamas and slippers. They unzip to expand 3" in height. The fabric and zipper are good quality, and I especially like the mesh section so what's inside will breathe a bit and I can see the contents.
Good for shoes!
I never really understood the need for packing cubes until I decided to try some. And now I want more! These are super convenient for separating shoes in your luggage -- and since they are expandable, they can fit most shoe types (probably not giant hiking boots though). I also use the smaller cube for separating certain types of clothes or dirty laundry. They also make things easier to find in your suitcase. The cubes are easy to expand and unexpand and seem like they're made well--no issues with the zippers or anything. Recommend!
Best shape for packing.
I look at all the packing cubes in REI and these have the best shape. I grouped and rolled the clothes to a tube and place it in the cubes. Each cube can accommodate 5 to 6 long sleeves shirts and long pants.
Very useful to keep clothes organized in luggage
These packing cubes are awesome. They have vent holes and expansion capabilities. They are durable but light weight. I travel 6 months a year for work so these will help keep my luggage organized. I like having them because the material is the same as material in my backpacking gear and I feel like I'm backpacking with them. Speaking of that, these could be very useful to keep a pack organized on a backpacking trip.
Not as durable as you hoped
Was excited to try these packing cubes in conjunction with the larger cubes by Thule on our trip to Iceland. They were definitely lighter than the Thule but when I put several pairs of socks along with a hat inside, a small part of the seam began to split. I didn't end up using these. There have been some comments that the Thule is heavier, but there is a reason for that. The material is reinforced and more durable.
Makes traveling easier!
The bags make traveling easier. I kept socks in the small bag, and underwear in the large bag and put them in my duffle bag. Wasn't digging thru the duffel bag to find items, was easy to grab the packing cube. Helped keeping duffel bag organized. Was surprised by how much stuff one could pack into these cubes. Also used the small cube to put bugspray and sunscreen in and take it in our Jeep. Kept everything organized and easy to find. Cubes are lightweight, easy to use, have a nice carry handle. They seem to be very well built. I'm surprised at how much stuff could be put in these.
Great for organizing your belongings on a trip
These packing cubes are great. They are light and easy to store empty (when not in use), but are great in organizing your stuff when traveling. The material of construction is nylon-based and will likely prevent smaller accidental water ingress (e.g. leaving a cube on a small water puddle on a table). Overall they seem to be well made (zippers, stiching, etc.). The expansion zipper is a nice addition for gaining/reducing the overall inside volume. I also like the top mesh part of the cube that both functions as a window for easy visual check of the inside content, but also as a ventilation port that allows items inside to breathe. Of course, store your smelly socks inside of these at your own risk! Great product, it will certainly make the unpacking at the destination a bit easier.
These hold more than I expected!!
I got these for a trip. Wanted for toiletries but ended up using one for dog leashes (3), treats and meds. The other one o used for chargers, cords, etc… they really expand!!!
