Amazon Basics Small Packing Cubes for Travel, Packing Organizers, 4-Piece-Set With Double Zipper Pulls and Mesh Top Panel, 100% Durable Polyester, Gray, 11"L x 6.8"W x 3"H

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.

Pros: Great price, well stitched. I checked each seam on each bag and could not spot one dropped stitch or flaw. I love the pinkish Red as when in a dark room you want packing bags that stand out. Each bag is made so it could be packaged in any number as each one had the silica gel packs to prevent moisture buildup.Cons: I'd prefer a packing tube with less mesh, but everything else is perfect. On the plus side the amount of mesh is clearly shown in the pictures.Yes I'd buy these again, Recommend to friends and come back to change my review should anything change. BDV

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 cubes make organizing my suitcase and finding things so much easier! They hold a good amount (8 rolled up shirts a piece). In a large suitcase, you could probably use 8 of these if you filled it up. I used 4, and had 3 pairs of shoes and makeup bag, pill cases/ etc on the other side. Very helpful!I also put them through the gentle cycle to wash when I got home, and let them airdry to keep them clean. They held up well through that. Good, functional purchase.

I have used these on several trips. I put tops in one, pants in one, etc. They hold more than I imagined and are easy to access. No more rummaging through my suitcase. Upon removal the clothes are wrinkle free. Wish I had learned about them earlier.

These came in very handy on our last trip. They helped us stay organized and kept the dirty clothes separate from the clean ones. Well built, with good zippers as well. Recommended.

I love these packing cubes. They hold a lot of clothes and are very durable. These are just as good if not better than name brand. They are easy to zip and the mesh allows for easy ventilation so clothing doesn’t smell.
