Hulken Schlep is $ 95: This group of five cubes (three PVC, and two with PVC covers only) made to fit inside the unique Hulken Rolling Carry-on pregnancy. I liked the fact that they nesting storage, and I liked to be able to see the contents of each cube at a glance. The zipper has a sealing seal, which is a nice touch, although they leaked a little while testing the spill. The cubes have a very organized shape, which makes it logical in carrying a lightweight Hulken but it takes a lot of properties in a regular bag. The three clear cubes were very small to store much of what I needed.
Goruck Packing Cube for $ 20 (for 1, 10 liters of apartment): I liked the size of 15 x 10 x 3 inches, I tested this rough Nylon Cube of 200-Denier with a network front. It fits almost anything on any occasion, with a comfortable pregnancy handle and corrected the American flag in the foreground. However, it is expensive, and unless you need it to match your Goruck equipment, there is nothing about it stands up over cubes with similar prices.
Amazon’s basics for $ 24 (a group of 4)These four cubes of cubes with durable windows and Ripstop are comparable to the brands of four times the price. but, Cubes of bags Less and even more stable cost, so they just blocked it to the top of the Amazon opening.

Dagne Doer Roma Backing Cubes of $ 30When I saw these shallow packing cubes for the first time with the turning of harsh wires and small stickers, I admit that I was not admired at the beginning, since it costs more than $ 30 per cube. But then I tested it. Not only did they carry them more than they appear to be as they will do, but I ended up with the love of how I kept their shape, allowing me to fit more in my bag and the guns to their destination completely free of wrinkles. The network is also breathing but durable, especially, and somewhat lined up, so I felt safe adding even solid elements such as jewelry. Certainly, these are not space savings, but if you want to make sure that your items do not move or leak excessively or wrinkle, this is a great option, and it comes in four elegant colors.
Away from the interior packing cubes for $ 45 (a group of 4): I like this that comes in modern colors, many of which match luggage. However, after testing more than 20 brands and different types at different price points, these cubes did not emerge. The material was very thin and could not be distinguished from those in some Amazon brands cheaper, and the zipper was not brands and small.
Shack Back filling cubes for $ 27 (a group of 6): This was a good quality for Amazon brand. There is a strong handle and the materials are slightly thicker than other packing cubes at this price point. I love the network of breathing and unique tissue for privacy. It comes in nine colors, but the colors are clowned in a clown and design of four panels that reminds me of Jock belt. Shack says he uses YKK StHippers on all filling cubes, but I peel the cap on the zipper and I couldn’t find a YKK badge anywhere.

Calpak cubes are appointed for $ 68 (a group of 5)This is the first group of packing cubes that I have at all, and this is what my concern started with the travel organization to start. There is generally satisfactory about the size and design of a lightweight polyester cubes with a retinal interface mostly for vision and breathing. There is a small window where you can put a content for the contents (which is much more useful than you may think, especially when the packing cubes are the same size), and I like to come in 18 colors and different publications.
Gorilla Grip filling cubes for $ 17 (set of 8): These were the least expensive packing cubes that I tested, and unfortunately, it showed it. The material was very thin, and the zipper was Janky. I love to come with a shoe and washing bag, however, and when it is not used, it flows down. It comes in a collection of colors, with nice mesh panels, the fabric is not completely recovery. Handwash only.
Wonderful bags to fill cubes

Travelpro Versappack+ Carry-on for $ 298: This soft, expandable, luggage dizziness (our favorite budget maker) comes with packing cubes about 9 x 2 “on a cut division or outside. Thick tapes can be closed in the main cabin to provide pressure, and there is also a guaranteed laundry bag and a shoe bag. I was actually affected completely how I can in this load, especially when using other pressure filling cubes. It is a kind of necessity, as the fill cubes have more than a few shirts and some underwear. Also know that when the bag is expanded, it is still a little heavy, although it is designed to be resistant to influence.
ROYCE & Rocket Castle (with packing cubes) for $ 630This bag must be a gift for anyone who ended a trip with half of the contents of a bag on the floor one day. It looks like a solid of normal invalidity, but open it to detect the two times the perfect size if you use packing cubes. ROYCE & Rocket Castle comes with a loader or average size or full size with a conformity group of packing cubes ($ 75 if you buy separately). Or buy a bag of bag alone and use your packing cubes. (Although I did this, I noticed that only medium and small sizes will be able to fit.) However, note that this shelf feature adds a large amount of weight to the bag. I tested the medium -sized version, and when I went to weighing it in the Alaska Airlines drop drop, I was shocked to find that it was just a hair under the weight of 50 lbs, despite my light clothes in the only packing and the size of the travel.

Wanderfull Hydrobag for $ 59Wired reviews of the team members are not strangers on a bottle of water bottle. Although I am a member of Dried generationI was completely used to having a bottle of water near all times. Unless I carry a backpack, I already hold Owala in a bottle of water bottle, especially When traveling. My favorite is from Wanderfull, as the wide tape is comfortable enough to walk long distances and walk long distances. If metallic Green is not a jam, there are dozens of fabrics, colors and other patterns to choose from.
Calpak Luka Zipped Passport Wallet for $ 35: Whether you are traveling internationally or only neglecting to update your leadership license before the deadline of the American real identifier (comet), the passport portfolio is a must. Not only does this elegant number swollen from Calpak your passport, but also carry cash, cards and even your phone in the pocket in the front. The only downside is that it is very large, about the size of a contemporary regular cover book (7.5 x 5.5 inches), and it does not have a handle or loop, so it is embarrassing to carry it if you do not have a large wallet enough to accommodate it.
Aer Street ropes for $ 69: Many passports portfolios, such as Luka above, are very large. Unlike the belt bag, Crossbody Aer’s Usisex is tall, so it will suit any passport portfolio of 8 x 5.5 inches or less. It is a great choice for anyone who still wants to travel to light but does not have to keep his passport in the backpack or pocket.

Included birth control pills for $ 26: This 7 -inch pastel pastel (3 inch 3 inch (comes in blue and pink) is a mirror and seven daily cabinets designed in glossy gold. It is very much Valley of the dollsBut I found that his slim profile is amazingly to travel with him, and slides unnoticed to smaller ornamental bags while staying closed safely even during coarse handling.
Gurunanda is ready to get rid of a small travel toothbrush for $ 30It is clear that bringing your toothbrush is the most environmentally convenient option, but this is what my family uses for camping or other trips as we do not want to risk re -use a dirty toothbrush. It is soft enough even for the most sensitive gums, and the side of the handle is doubled as equal.
Gorilla Grip luggage for $ 14 (set of 4): If you tend to travel with your checked bag on its side while expanding it, you may have noticed a somewhat lack of the structure. Both sides have their own loads, where they are immersed while they only connect to a thin fabric zipper. I rely on these tapes to hold my packed bag unstable together when they are released from the scale on the transport belt or are thrown at the airport runway. As a reward, the bright color (the company has nine to choose from) makes your bag easy to locate Carousel in the luggage demand.
Kushi Travel Jewelery organizer for $ 49 (average)I don’t know how I lived for a long time, just throwing Willie jewelry in a decorative tool bag; I do not advise this unless you want to spend your first night on a necklace. For the absolute institution in the space provider, you cannot top the hanging pocket bag that folds down to be completely flat. The average size is three levels of the PVC PVC cloud pockets for earrings, bracelets, watches, and anything else you may need, as well as a stylish necklace holder with rings and piece. The large size has the same, but with twice the number of sections. Upon closing, it folds flat for the size of the iPad.
Common questions
How can the cubes fill the wired test?
I have been testing the ornamental tools and adjacent accessories during the past seven months, using them daily in my bath and taking them on trips every few months. I chose to fill cubes based on the brands of the luggage that we love or what it seems to be heading or popular; Some are samples from the companies themselves, but many buy myself and their expenses.
I check each cube or a group of cubes for features and materials. Test the smooth opening of the zipper and the closure, and the ease of using any pressure feature. I fill in different cubes with huge blouses and rowing deposits to see the number of pieces that I can put in the largest cube, and I see how it fits a backpack on the back and a full -sized bag. When I travel, I fill a cube from each group in three bags and build how easy it packages or empties it, and I notice whether anything about them disturbs my family or I am amid tension and the inability to predict travel.

Why not only use the ziplock bag?
This is the question that I see more than travelers who question the use of packing cubes. Ziplock bags are inexpensive, and you can see everything inside. Why does one spend $ 25 or even $ 100 on a set of packing cubes when it costs a box of 2.5 gallons 5 dollars? It is a valid question, and I listed in the investigation by filling in huge bags locking the slide with my packing cubes for a week. I discovered some things.
Breathing packing cubes. This is especially useful on the way back to the house when most or all of your washing is dirty. If the smell of your clothes is like anything – anything at all – you will strike on your face with that smell after they were sitting in a tightly closed plastic bag.
Strong packing cubes. Unlike a plastic bag, the packing cubes will not be torn, exploded, or developing unexpected holes.
(Some) pressure packing cubes. Can you fit five days of pants and shirts in a plastic bag? Maybe not. But you can definitely be in the pressure packing cube, like some of the above options.
