Review on 🧳 SmartPak Luggage Packing Cubes for Efficient Organization by Amy Kearse

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it better than eBags!

So I decided to do a 9-day round trip through London/Paris with only hand luggage. I knew it was possible and ordered three different brands of "packing cubes" to ensure I could achieve my goal. I ordered this set from Travelwise, a cheaper 4 piece set and then a 3 piece set from eBags. Lila didn't sell me, but personally it's a bit deeper. These bags arrived first and I was impressed. They are heavy but not heavy. The zippers are strong and I'm impressed with the thickness of the bag itself as well as the mesh. My ebags arrived today and I have to say I'm disappointed. I like the color of the ebags but the quality is NOTHING next to these bags. They are much lighter and thinner. The ebag dice feel a little plasticky, while the Travelwise dice feel sturdy. One thing I really liked about these bags is that the handle on the top of the bag is double stitched into the material. The strap itself is almost as long as the bag so you don't have to pull the tiny strap to move it. The ebags belt consists of only one seam and is smaller in comparison. Although I haven't traveled yet, I can tell you that judging by the thickness and design of the handles, I like this set a lot more than these e-bags. E-bags will be back!
