Review on Packed with Efficiency: Cambond Compression Packing Luggage Organizers by Holly Bell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Savings on travel accessories

This is my 3rd set of compression cubes that I have bought from Revain, before that I bought a set of 3 brands Travelbug and 3 brands Hynes Eagle. I bought these last month as a Revain Prime Day deal and haven't used them for travel yet (so I've only given them 4 stars for now) but have used the other two for a few trips and love both sets. Here is how Cambond compares to two other kits at the moment. The Count: Both the Travelbug and the Hynes Eagle are listed as 3-ct. The cambond set is sold by 4 carats, 2 of which are the smallest. Shape: Travelbug has most square corners and Cambond has most rounded corners. Material: Hynes Eagle and Cambond materials are the same thickness, but the Travelbug material is slightly thicker. I have to push the material into the compression zip when zipping to compress it or the material will get caught in the zip. (Material opens easily and won't be damaged.) Mesh: Only the Hynes Eagle has a partial mesh upper to show the top layer inside. Zippers: All three sets had 3 zippers, two to close and one to compress. All three zippers are durable. Loop Closure: The Reisekäfer had the smallest "loop" area at the top of the opening, while the Cambond had a large "loop" opening at the top. Grip: The Cambond had the strongest grip and the Hynes Eagle had the thinnest grip. The Hynes Eagle was also the only one of the three with a handle on the long end of the cube. Cost: Travel Bug was the most expensive at a few dollars and Cambond was the cheapest (with a Prime Day deal), which was definitely the best value. The open/closed/compressed configuration photo used a medium sized cube for all 3 brands. All three sets are different, but I'm happy with all of them. At the moment I would recommend one of these but Cambond is the best for the budget.
