Amazon Basics Lightweight Packing Cubes Travel Organizer Set with Double Zipper, Mesh Top, Durable Polyester, Medium, 4 Piece, Black

I used these packing cubes for a recent trip to Japan. My goal was to ditch the large oversized suitcases and use just one large backpack for my trip. It was a 40L Patagonia duffle/backpack. The size small worked great, and I used 3 of these Small sized cubes fully packed with an extra on hand. They fit in my 40L bag 3 across flat (with one tilted at the end). I then had about 5 inches of free space on top of the two flat ones for a book, headphones, and a small laptop. Plus some light space all around for shoving things in.I found it really hard to get a sense of size of various packing cubes, even with dimensions written. They are all too big it seems. Go small, and use the same size cubes is what I found works. I think 4 of these small ones might work well for a standard carry on suitcase also, which is about the same capacity as my 40L bag, but much more rigid also.As for these actual cubes. They are loose flexible synthetic material with some mesh on top. I found no concern that they would rip or tear when using, and stuffing full. Despite starting loose and floopy, once full they form a perfect rectangular shape. There are two zippers on each and they zip easily without issue. The zippers were strong and never came lose or showed concern they might. The mesh was nice to be able to see what each held, and was strong.For packing, I was following minimal "one bag" packing trips. I folded items to the width of the cube, and then tightly rolled each garment. By doing this I was able to fit perhaps 6 items in one cube. This mean 4 merino wool shirts, 2 hiking pants easily fit in a cube. 3 Undies and 2 socks, and running short+shirt in another. Jeans, sweatpants, and sweatshirts pack bigger, even wihen rolled, so that meant 2-3 of those to a cube. A final cube had a rain jacket and packable 30L hiking package, both rolled small. A few odds/ends could be squished in any of these. So 3 well packed cubes, plus small toiletry bag and some misc items fit easily in my 40L bag. And it wasn't a complete mess, but an organized system.

Amazed at how much squeezes into these slim packing cubes. I've always used non mesh nylon compression style but decided to try these for carry on only. Holy cow! Stacked on their side, they fit carry on perfectly, with so much room to spare. With 2 zippers, you can partially zip as you go to compress and keep items in place. Can you tell I LOVE these?!Detailed Example: 10 day trip to Paris..mixed weather, various classic, casual & dressy ...much more than needed...lol (sz 14 lady) cube 1 holds 3 pants + 1 long (reversible) skirt, cube 2 holds 1 long sleeve, long dress + 1 (reversible) sleeveless cocktail dress + thin, sleeveless short dress + bra inclusive sleeveless midi dress (and room for 1-2 more thin items), cube 3 holds 6 sheer "cardigan" vests, 2 reversible tops, 1 long sleeve Merino top and 2 other tops, cube 4 holds thermals, 2 chub rub "shorts" + scarves with lots of space left. So much space left in carryon, bought another set for misc items.We'll see how well they hold up.

I had the small and medium cubes....and got the large to go with them to better fit some shirts (I am 6'3" and have larger shirts) more easily than the medium cubes. I love these cubes.....makes organizing and putting stuff in the suitcase extremely easy. It also prevents things jumbling around in your suitcase when it works its way through the travel process...so things are still in the same place you had them in your case at the end of the trip.

I wasn't sure packing cubes were necessary or worth it, but when I bought one medium pack and we used them one weekend, we were hooked. My whole family loves having these cubes. We now have 2 sets of each of the following sizes - small, medium, large. They make packing and unpacking so much easier, and sorting each family members' items makes it so helpful when we're away from home. They're not compression, but they do conserve space. You can squeeze a lot in them, and they've held up well. That was a concern of mine when I got the first set, but they've held up very well through lots of use, with just one tearing along the mesh seam so far. It is still very functional and has not gotten worse despite being stuffed. They're worth it for the price and I would buy again in a heartbeat. I just wish all the different colors were available in all the different sizes.

These are great! they're the PERFECT size to stack 4 inside a standard size carry-on suitcase. Some of the other sets I've seen have multiple size, which makes zero sense, leaving empty space where the smaller ones don't fill the full length or width of your suitcase. Whose bright idea was that?I love love love how they keep all my stuff organized. They make packing and unpacking a breeze if you're moving around city to city, like I was. Just take each packing cube out and put in the dresser drawers at your hotel, then back again! I just ordered another set of 4 to use in another suitcase.I actually like these better than the compression type because you can fit more in them and you don't end up with wasted space around the edges. GET THEM!

These packing cues are a game changer. You no longer have your clothes falling all over the place bundled up and tearing apart your suitcase to get an outfit. My recommendation is get the variety pack. I purchased all large and now realize I’d like some smaller ones. I can’t imagine traveling without these after using them. It’s an absolute game changer.

Going on a longer trip and too cheap to check a bag? Me too. I was able to fit 2 of these in my carry-on, stuffing them to their limits without fear of the seams ripping. If you strategically organize, I found you can fit 8 XL t-shirts in one cube.

These are the perfect dimensions for packing clothes, etc in a ski bag. They fit on either side of the skis and make it easy to unpack.
