Great for packing! - Travel Accessories

I have an older style of Eagle Creek Pack-It Half Cubes and there are some decent differences between the Specter and the Classic: 1) Weight is more of a no. yes”, but they are not only "lighter”, they are charmingly lighter. For example, "This can't be true." I don't know if the lighter weight in my large suitcase (which serves as my carry-on) matters that much overall, but it does in my backpack/ carry-on for personal items Role. 2) fabric. I really appreciate the suppleness of the fabric as it makes it a bit easier to pack in a backpack or something. Can refill and remove more easily. The fabric also appears to allow for more items to fit in the packing cube and to compress clothing. It keeps the shape of a cube. In my test set, I put 6 shirts in one of these! (Rolled up. The shirts included two long-sleeved button-down shirts, one long-sleeved sweatshirt, two short-sleeved cotton t-shirts, and one merino wool t-shirt.) In the other half, I packed a pair of jeans. , a maxi skirt, and a pair of shorts.3) Zipper Position - The regular style packing cube opens like a mini suitcase, with the zipper 3/4 the length of the short side and one of the long sides. It opens like a backpack or regular holdall with a zipper of about 3/4 or less) along the top and long sides. This style allowed me to cram all of the above into the packing cube without items falling out (which was part of my problem with the classic packing cube). I prefer the half-cube size as it gives me more flexibility when packing my bags (I'm a stuffer, not a binder). Good product! Highly recommended.
