5.0 out of 5 starsThe regular size is a good size
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2015
The regular "cube" is arguably the most useful size of these clever travel organizers. This one is a good size for my purposes. It would work well for tees, tanks, yoga pants, maybe skinny jeans.
I had a lot of trouble visualizing the actual size of the Pack-It cubes using just the promo pictures and dimensions, so after trying out several sizes, I've included photos to try to provide some perspective. Here you see 5 men's fitted size-"L" rolled tees. There's enough slack in the material to allow a layer of the same items on top. I've also pictured the cube (w/ same items) in a 22" carry-on sized roller suitcase.
The Pack-It is a clever design that both provides structure and flexibility. The result is you can overfill the PackIt (in my pic, you could easily add another layer of items), and unless you have a solid item taking up the whole width of the bottom, there's enough extra material so the cube flexes to hold it all. The mesh makes it possible to compress the contents (as well as see what's in there). And the handle makes it easy to grab and carry the filled cube, which would otherwise feel sort of awkward (since it's soft-sided and flops over).
Note that the regular cube is included in the Eagle Creek sets, so the set might be a better value if you're going to buy multiple sizes. This cube is a useful size for all sorts of travelers. Recommended.
