Review on ๐Ÿงณ Compression Carry-on Travel Accessories: Packing Travel Organizer by Julia White

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far, so good. Time will tell how they hold up, but I'm optimistic!

Foreword: I will update this review once I can use it for international travel. ). Perhaps the manufacturer's claims are a bit optimistic in their assessment of how and how well it does its job, but it certainly does its job. So it's hard to complain. For reference, I packed a small cube with some cycling gear (including bib, jersey, and base layer), three pairs of boxer shorts, gloves, and two pairs of socks. I packed four t-shirts, a pair of jeans and three pairs of socks into the big cube. I could definitely stuff another t-shirt in the big one. The smaller one is tightly packed. Ballistic nylon looks very nice. Time will tell how well the stitching will hold up, but I'm optimistic. To be honest I'd be surprised if they weren't identical to the Eagle Creek compression cubes (renamed of course) but I haven't had a chance to compare them side by side. Reviewer's Comments I had no trouble closing the bag. That means I haven't had any problems. I can see how it could have been done if he/she wasn't paying attention. I also found that the larger cube compresses the shirts really well when folded properly (like you're putting them in a drawer) rather than folding them. . This is something to keep in mind. The same with jeans. It's really hard to fold bike bibs, so I just had to "stuff" the smaller cubes. Just remember that they work like a space sack. They compress clothing and push air out. If you fill them with already compressed material then this kind of defeats the purpose. You don't need to expel air and compression will be minimal. So don't think that you can just fill them up completely and still get decent compression. If this is your goal, then just take the normal cubes and fill them up by hand pressing, as they won't help you. (I hope that makes sense.)

Pros
  • Best in the niche
