Hi Pack Hacker, all but the two packing cubes.

The 3-1-1 bag, for purely selfish reasons - I want something like it to take with me on beachy type trips! Hook on a shoulder or waist strap and just keep my valuables on my person. Though you wouldn't want it to float if you're trying to keep it at waist level, and I think you said it's only rated for 1 m? So maybe not the *best* option, but I'd probably trust it more than the random no-brand pouches that show up on Amazon...

I love this series! I have two. My favorite thus far is the 3-1-1. I use a pouch method to pack my purse/pack. Your basic housewife/KZfaqr EDC. I like for things to match and I like to be prepared. I don’t have a ton of money so these are definitely luxuries for me. I’m using the purchase of these as rewards for achieving business goals. I like to do outdoor things and live in a rural area and live a rural lifestyle so with 3 dogs and other animals including a mini-pig, my life germs messy quick. Even at home I live out of my pack because I don’t lose the important stuff if it’s not in my purse which is almost never your typical purse. I like the waterproof part of these because if I’m outside or shoot, just on the back porch sofa and a muddy dog jumps on top of me and my things, then I can easily wipe them off with a baby wipe. I can also pull them out when prospecting and not worry about them spilling into a creek. Just having my essentials protected is worth a lot to me. I also like the clear windows so it’s easy to grab the right pouch the first time. What I would change if it were up to me? More colors to choose from and matching S-Biners so you could essentially color code your gear. I think it could be good to see the 3-1-1 in different sizes and colors. Some more narrow gusseted pouches in that type. I am actually planning on getting the wallet simply because it will hold my card (in an rfid protected sleeve), cash and change. I like the simplicity. I’d like to add the packing cubes to my gear because they are compressible as well as floatable. Plus the whole zipper grabbing fabric thing is so annoying. I’d love to see deeper reviews in all of these. Thanks!

Could you kind of smash down the large packing cube once your contents are inside and seal it to save space in your bag?
@PackHacker5 жыл бұрын
Hey Reid - the Nite Ize packing cubes have a pretty much airtight seal, so if you get all the air out. it will stay flat which will provide an almost vacuum-like seal. Hope this helps! 😊 - Rebecca

Hey Jay - while most airports will accept the 3-1-1 Pouch, we can't guarantee that this will be in same in all airports around the world, which is why we always recommend checking with the airport that you'll be flying into/ from before you fly. Hope this helps! 😊 - Rebecca

Is there any way that Nite Ize can add the belt clip for the various phone cases to these pouches? I really think it would be a nice option to be able to attach this securely to your belt without needing to undo your belt. Id like a larger phone pouch than the XL horizontal pouch anyway, because I carry additional items in my kit anyway and if it was waterproof, it would be even better. Just an idea!

Hey Kaona - we haven't tested these with a camera or drone, but we have used them with some of our tech accessories and chargers. So, depending on the size or your camera or drone, these cubes will work, but they won't offer any protection other than being waterproof. Hope this helps! 😊 - Rebecca

I would absolutely use something like this, like, at the beach. I'm way too paranoid to leave my passport, phone, and money on the beach while I go have fun in the ocean - I'd really rather bring everything with me! My phone's too big to fit in the pocket (I have a 6.9" Xiaomi Mi Max 3 - great battery life, but it's huge and heavy af), so I'd go with the 3-1-1 bag just because, you know, my phone. I'm less sure about the packing cubes tbh. Maybe if you have something that REALLY can't get wet (maybe a tablet or small laptop), but for clothes I suspect I'd think them too heavy to be practical - the large cube is 7 l and weighs 130g, but a lightweight 6 l Osprey dry bag only weighs 30g. 100g more or less isn't a big deal for just one item, but it all adds up.

Hey FaerieDust - we hear you! These products would be a great solution when you're at the beach and having the 3-1-1 pouch would also give you more versatility and could even double up as a toiletry bag to save space in your pack.

I picked up the 3-1-1 pouch because of the volume (expands a little at the bottom) and the size since I also have a large phone. It's ideal for taking my phone, wallet, earbuds, etc to the beach or anywhere else that I need to keep valuables protected from sand, water, dirt, etc. Definitely recommend the 3-1-1 out of all of them, personally.
