5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for fitting all your clothes for a backpacking trip

These cubes are perfect! I used 3 of these (one large, one small, one medium) and 2 of the compression cubes (one large, one medium) to store all my clothes for a two-week backpacking trip across Central Europe! It is astonishing how much they hold! I was able to fit: 7x T-shirts, 4x shorts, 2x jeans, 7x underwear, 7x pairs of socks, and 1x light jacket all in five cubes. They save SO much space in your backpack (if you're doing a backpacking trip, it's essential that you fit as much as you can in the least amount of space possible, and these are perfect for that).
Just make sure you compress your clothes ALL the way down before putting them in. The large one can hold a LOT. I also like that they deform to take the shape of its contents, i.e., they may not strictly be "cubes" when you fill them up. They'll be more like bulging ellipsoids, which is actually the best way to efficiently use the available volume in a backpack.
The fabric is extremely durable and the zippers are very sturdy! They won't buckle under heavy tension and the zippers can stretch out the fabric quite a bit without causing any tear or damage. I also love the fabric is slightly translucent so that you can see what's inside without having to open each one up.
I used five of these cubes along with a daypack and fit them all into the Osprey Farpoint 40L backpack for my backpacking trip. It's surprising how well it worked and how well everything fit. I'd highly recommend getting these!
