It’s been ages since I’ve traveled and the available accessories are so varied these days. A friend loaned me her packing cubes for a trip I recently took and I was amazed at what a difference these made to the overall packing experience. I did a bit more research before I bought mine and I’m glad I did because I found this set and decided I liked it better for a few reasons.1) I like the fact that these can be purchased as a set of four or eight and there are beautiful color options. Yes, the color doesn’t matter but I live by the principle that functional items can be beautiful! I chose the pink & blue and the colors are very pretty!2) The cubes come in four different sizes and are made of sturdy ripstop fabric. The zippers seem to be very sturdy and glide nicely.3) In comparing these cubes to those I borrowed, it’s my opinion these will be more durable in the long run [but PLEASE don’t tell my friend I said that ?!]. The most noticeable difference is the top of the borrowed ones was all netting while these have a small diagonal band of netting that is reinforced above & below with ripstop. It goes without saying that ripstop is far stronger than netting and there really is no comparison of durability between the two fabrics.4) Each bag has a “suggested use” diagram {permanently affixed to each cube} in the bottom right corner which of course, you’re not obligated to follow. But it’s a nice little extra because obviously some thought went into the sizes to determine the best use for each one.5) Each cube is very lightweight and won’t add any noticeable weight to your luggage.6) If you get a two-pack of cubes and share luggage, it will be easy to differentiate which cubes belong to each person. How cool is that?7) The cubes are very reasonably priced.I will post some photos once I pack for my trip with the goal of using four of them for a week’s worth of clothing. Now that I’ve had some practice with cubes, I’m pretty comfortable I can make this work and have it all fit in a 25” suitcase with room to spare.
