Packing cubes do not create space. They stop you from wasting the space you have by digging. Shirts in one, workout clothes in another, and the small cube for cables.
The compression zipper is worth using, but stop when it resists. Forced zippers are how these sets die on trip three. Choose a neutral color so they do not show through a light bag.
What works
- Mesh lid shows what is inside
- Compression zipper actually closes
- Sizes nest when empty
What to know
- Overstuffing bends the zipper
- The slim cube is too small for shoes
