My husband is a bit unconvinced about packing cubes because he feels that you don’t use the space “in the grooves” on the side with the handle. I was playing with some Eagle Creek ones I have but never used, last night. I thought I’d love the compression, but didn’t. But I like the concept of cubes in general (I’ll use them without the compression). Planning a month long trip with a carryon and a personal size backpack. 😃

I have the Away packing cubes which I use in conjunction with the Away Bigger Carry On Flex. I love that they are designed to fit together in my suitcase. It makes me so happy knowing that if I can fit all my clothes in my packing cubes, then my clothes will fit in my suitcase with no problem-and it’s quite satisfying slotting the cubes into place! Another benefit I appreciate is being able to lift the cubes out of my suitcase and put them into a dresser drawer or on shelves-it makes unpacking a suitcase so quick and easy, which is perfect for trips like my last where I was often staying only 1-2 nights in each place. I don’t know how I ever managed before having packing cubes. The convenience, organization, and peace of mind they offer makes them worth every penny.

Thank you for your video. I had packing cubes and now have moved onto compression cubes. I prefer the compression, but it was so easy to overpack. In a recent trip, I just placed all the clothes I could fit into my carryon (without cubes, just folded) , took them out and then used three compression cubes for everything. One for large pants and shirts, one medium for sleep/active wear, one small for bras, socks and underwear. They were not bulky and I had room to use a large laundry bag plus toiletries. 10 days travelling and a wash day halfway during the trip. It was a struggle to not add extra but worth it 😀

I bought the Away cubes when I bought my Away Carry-on à few years ago and they are holding up very well. The sizes are very practical. I actually put 2 pairs of shoes in the smaller one. They do hold more than you think and I like that they are softer so you can squeeze things around them.

Great job- per usual! We have the Level 8 cubes because- as you’ve stated- they came with the luggage. That was my first experience with packing cubes- so I always judge all the other ones by them. They were great the times that I’ve used them. But now I’m into the mesh, nylon ones with the handles. I’ve purchased Bagail Packing Cubes and just recently their Compression Cubes) from Amazon. Haven’t used either yet. I just bought Ebags & Shacke cubes because- you said so. 😅 I’m traveling next month. So I’ll let you know what I think. I’ve been eyeing the Monos. But the price always got me. I have enough cubes now, tho. And they don’t seem to compress well. So I won’t be purchasing those. Thank you for that. Like the post up there said- I have an unhealthy amount of cubes. 😂. HELP!

Thanks for the review!I Always much appreciated. I also have a lot of packing cubes but none of these....and I think I will keep the ones I already have even though you are tempting me 😄. I use ultralight packing cubes. While they have no shape and do not hold up when empty, they are a must when traveling with strict weight restrictions (e.g. TAP Air Portugal.....which does weigh carry-ons often at the boarding gate, especially when flying economy). Ultralight packing cubes can also conform easier to luggage shapes, and the most expensive ones have other nice features (water-resistance, odor-free, durability, recycled, etc...). I have Osprey, Eagle Creek, and Trevelon. Other smaller and medium-sized packing cubes I use are made by Tom Bihn, but these do hold up their shape and their quality is amazing. They are not ultralight but are lightweight, and are super versatile because they can also be used as daily purses.

Couldn’t agree more. LOVE my monos cubes. Not only do they compress but when not compressed they have the side walls which stay stable to hold the cube open. So often I’ve tried cubes and the sides are so flimsy that it makes packing them difficult. Monos cubes are well worth the $90 price tag, IMHO.

These are great but I’d probably just stick to my Amazon ones for now. I’ve got a few from Tripped, Gonex, Travelon (favorite), and plastic compression bags from samsonite. I love the travelon for the mesh and nylon. Tripped and gonex are ok but I agree that compression isn’t everything. Better bring wrinkle release spray! I haven’t tried out the samsonite plastic ones that you push out the air. They were for my teen that wrestles in her clothes. This was a great video. If I had to chose then I’d go with the July.

I don’t understand the purpose of extra large sized packing cubes. Packing cubes are meant to organize your bag through compartmentalization, but if your cube is so big that it takes up an entire side of your suitcase you may as well just packed everything directly into the suitcase. Cubes that take up half of one size of a suitcase is the biggest size I want to see in a packing cube set.

@@gembum the size difference between a carryon and most checked luggage is not so great that a XL packing cube is going to take up only half of one side. That Beis XL packing cube is 17.5x12.5, and the interior of their largest suitcase 16.5x 29. That means even in their own luggage, using the large cube could make playing packing cube Tetris a little awkward. Also, unless you’re packing something truly bulky like a snow suit or a long heavy coat (which I wouldn’t bother packing in a packing cube anyway), no you don’t need the XL packing cube for winter clothes. I pack for winter trips using the same set as I do for summer clothes, and while I may get fewer items per cube than I would when packing for my summer trips, my sweaters and sweat shirts pack up just as well into a medium sized cube.

Interesting comparison. Not a huge fan of packing cubes so if I were to get any of those it would probably be the Away just because they did pack down for storage so small. Here is a weird question and you do not need to do a video, just me going hmmmm. Would the Away (or any of the others) fit well into another brand. Example, say I got a wild hair and got the Away, would they fit well in the Beis carry on?

All packing cubes are always made with luggage dimensions in mind, and even though there are 2 standard carry on sizes and 2 standard checked sizes, all brands cubes should fit in everyone’s bags. I mix and match all the time :)

Packing cubes need to come in an assorted color pack. Red for shirts, blue for pants, etc.

Agreed! But now I need to show you how to put shirts and pants in one ;)

I feel like compression cubes just turn a cube into a football. They compress around the outer edges more than the middles.

I have Eagle Creek compressible packing cubes, but (last night) bought the Monos ones to go with my new carry-on. They are on sale for Father's Day! I am somewhat afraid to watch this review right now...

They just don’t hold as much stuff as the other cubes. I’ve tested them several times, and don’t personally love them. But some people do! You will have to let me know what you think!

I kind of think the large packing cubes that take up almost one side are a waste. I think it’s a conspiracy by the designers lol. Also I have noticed only a few companies have designed the cubes to really fit perfectly in their luggage.

Agreed. Medium and small all the way! If I had my own design, I know exactly what I would do, based on size, packing ability, color, and how much it can hold!

Any packing cube is going to be better than nothing, but I definitely find some to be better than others, of course it’s all personal preference:) hehe
