Review on SuitedNomad Compression Packing Ultralight Organizer by Michael Baker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great option compared to Eagle Creek and Tortuga

I have packing cubes from several places as I always seem to need more and will not be loyal to the brand until the brand gives me enough reasons to never buy. vicinity. I took the Eagle Creek route based on the rave reviews. I have several expensive ones from Tortuga because I bought their camping gear. I decided to try some compression options and ended up with SuitedNomad's package; I realized it was worth trying. As you can see from my photos, the eagles make it the easiest to see what's inside the package due to their very fine mesh. However, this is not a compression option; Their compression cubes aren't nearly as transparent. Tortugas are the most robust of all, but are much harder to see through in comparison, to the point where they probably shouldn't even be considered transparent. SuitedNomad has no visibility and that's fine as I'll give you advice on how to get around that. In terms of quality, there are currently no problems; They appear to correspond to Eagle Creeks. The compression zip is very comfortable; it expands the entire perimeter of the bag, and then a little; For example, on the largest bag, the compression zipper overlaps the starting point by about 15 cm. My only complaint is that I wish the zippers, both but especially the compression zippers, were bigger (tooth size). When you're really stuffing these things, it can be a little painful to run your finger along the outside of the zipper to keep the fabric from getting caught in it, and sometimes you have to push and pull quite hard. hard so that small teeth do not get caught. A larger zipper would have made this task easier. Now for the opacity of your stuff. I solved this problem by simply buying paper gift tags and string. If you organize your target cubes by content type, the fact that you might have to stare at the tag for five seconds shouldn't be a problem since you probably have a rough idea of where to look for underwear, not the bathroom. More importantly, though, the best part about labeling cubes like this is that by the end of your journey, you'll know which items fit into which cube and should fit back into that cube. Before I started doing this, I recently went on a ski trip, and by the end of the trip, with the gear scattered around the hotel room, I found it difficult to figure out which items came from which cubes, to ensure we could fit it all back together . to the same amount of space we started with. Now that the dice are labeled this should be easy. Here are the cheap tags I bought: Paper tags String gift tags
