Are you tired of the chaos - seeing your unorganized luggage/backpack sitting in the corner of your room? Well, if the answer is yes, getting a packing cube is the answer. BUT!! Of all the great brands out there, which one is for you?
Below are our 10 BEST PACKING CUBES. Watch our full video for an in-depth review of each of these bags.
1 - Tortuga Packing Cubes
AKA: The BEST DURABLE packing cubes
✍🏼 Its materials are the best in the game and it should last you a lifetime if you take good care of it. And honestly, it might even last us another lifetime after this. That's how durable it is.

2 - Peak Design Packing cubes
AKA: The BEST OVERALL packing cubes
✍🏼 Aside from its durable materials, this has an amazing pull-tab system where you can easily open and access your stuff. AND!!! We must say that it has one of the best compression and expansion systems in the game.

4 - Plastic bag
AKA: The BEST YOU-DIDN'T-EXPECT-ME-HERE-SO-SURPRISE
✍🏼 We know you didn't expect us to include a plastic bag, but we think it still serves the purpose of keeping your stuff organized without having to spend your hard-earned dollar bills. This is just a reminder that great gear is awesome, but it's not necessary if you don't have the disposable income 🤜
5 - Evergoods Transit Packing Cube 8L

Great reviews, as always! I made myself start using packing cubes on recent trips and I'm officially a convert. It's crazy what you can make fit in these things, and there's so much comfort in the organization. That said, I don't know if there's a single type of travel gear where I have a harder time wrapping my head around paying for a premium product. I love Aer and would normally have no issue paying for their quality and branding to pair with my Aer travel pack, but the cheap cubes I already have get the job done so well already. One thing: If you do any more packing cube reviews, I'd love it if you might show us how they fit into a couple of popular travel packs when the cubes are fully packed? I know everyone's combination of cubes and pack are going to be different, but a sense of how a couple fully packed cubes fit into a standard backpack you pick would be cool to see, just to get a sense of relative sizing.

Very nice, I got a set of the Peak early on and they are nice all around, but I also got a set of Alpaka ones were were inexpensive and a bit thinner in size than the Peaks, and they are perfectly good too in a smaller non-compressible way. I also noticed Alpha One Niner has a nice inexpensive (relatively to other online specialty brands) set, that was even a little smaller than Alpaka's. Its just nice to match relative size and shape to the type of luggage you are gonna throw them into. Granted I have extreme ocd lol.

An ever changing market. I got a set of Eagle Creek and they held up well on a five week trip in 2018. Very light weight. Discontinued about a year later. Compression cubes are very useful but cost a lot more to the standard ones of the same size.

Just got the Thule clean/dirty packing cube. Materials are a bit heavier than I would like, but I hope that will make it more durable. This and the Eagle Creek clean/dirty packing cubes are my favorite since you can fully open the dirty compartment.

Hi Aaron, Nice list! I have most of them (#1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10) but have to say you missed the best one (at least for me) is from Bluffworks out of UK. They have a velco that can cinch in depending on how much you pack so it doesn’t slide around when not full. Also, it has a side zip that’s see thru but that means you can take out each clothing item as you need instead of opening and taking out the entire set of clothes. I need to get more as each time a family member or friends jack mine as they love it so much. Prices not too unreasonable. Hope you can get a hold of them and do a review. And #7 Step22, their tech and toiletry bags are great. Hope you can do a review on those as well. Keep up the videos of late. Good stuff!

#4!!! Waterproof, reusable, multipurpose. I go back to this from time to time. 😊 Pro-tip for frequent hotel stayers: grab those laundry bags whenever you can, they're free and some are really durable! Anyway, it's time I make an upgrade. Thanks for these great selection Aaron!

Hey, thanks for the awesome video! This is the second time you mention Pakt packing cubes set being $65 but the website shows them at $99 for the set.. Perhaps a mistake on your end? Would be nice to get these from Pakt for $65 but seems that is not happening :)

@Nomads.Nation 8 ай бұрын

yea maybe they raised the prices, or maybe we got the info wrong

@spasev 3 ай бұрын

Its funny how having a $1 YKK zipper justifies according to these youtube "reviewers" a price tag of $80+ for a little nylon bag. Materials and workmanship total $4 and a retail price of $85.

@Nomads.Nation 3 ай бұрын

agreed that the margins on these must be pretty crazy for the brands, and as I said in my video at the 5:11 mark, a plastic bag works perfectly well for a packing cube. But if you want to splurge, these are absolutely the best that I've tested. Thanks for watching!

@bani_niba 8 ай бұрын

Personally I think packing cubes ought to be made of the lightest & thinnest possible materials, as they aren't the clothes you actually need on a trip and instead they take up space & weight in your luggage. For that reason, I don't understand the Step22 collection.

@Nomads.Nation 8 ай бұрын

Totally get where you are coming from. I think the Step22 collection are 'storage' cubes that can be used for a variety of things including tools, electronic gear, or clothes when you travel.

@machtmer 8 ай бұрын

Admittedly, I prefer #4 in addition to my packing cubes. Why? Laundry, particularly since they can be tied closed (good for anything that could have crawlies) and not mix dirty with clean.
