![]() Let me tell you how a simple traveling experience looks from my side.įirst, I need to know how many nights I will stay. The reason is that most of the time, traveling wastes too much time and energy. I’d like to share the details of my experience in this blog post. They are, however, pretty sweet-so you may just want to pick them up.A few weeks ago, I traveled from Hamburg to Barcelona, and during my trip, I used only one bag. If you do have the Peak Design pack, you shouldn’t feel like these are the only packing cubes you can use. ![]() They also offer a bunch of different sizes, so you can kind of play around with them and figure out what works best for you.Īnd while these cubes are optimized for Peak Design’s Travel Backpack, you can absolutely use them in other packs and, vice versa, you can use other cubes inside the Peak Design pack. We’ve been using the Eagle Creek Specter Cubes for some time now, which are very similar to these but a bit lighter. Peak Design gets it-it’s all about the little things.įrom a sizing perspective, we think these cubes can totally work-especially if you’ve got the Peak Design Travel Backpack-however, we do have a couple other packing cube lines that we truly love. Another nice touch is the small piece of nylon webbing you can grab onto as you’re zipping the compression portion of the cube and the small grab handles on the outside. If you do catch that mesh a lot, it’ll definitely start to get ripped up and it could also affect the zipper itself. On a couple occasions, we have had the stretchy mesh part get caught on the compression zipper, so just keep this in mind-you’ll want to be careful when you zip this thing up. You can easily fill this thing up and compress your clothing down, which saves some space and allows you to cram in a lot more clothes without wrinkling them. These cubes are also compressible, which we’ve found to be really useful. When your clothes get dirty, just stuff ’em in the backside and you’re good to go. Opposite of that big clamshell opening is a separate compartment to hold your dirty clothes, which works just as intended. Maybe the Patagonia Black Hole Cubes?) Peak Design Packing Cubes Pocket You might want to look for a different set of packing cubes. (And really, as long as you’re not going full-on Hulk mode when opening these things, we think you’ll be fine. Plus, we think the convenience is worth it. However, these are some high-quality zippers that should, in theory, be able to take the punishment. Pulling zippers “apart” (as in, perpendicular to the teeth they run on) is kind of a recipe for disaster-the zipper “slider” is bound to become separated from the teeth at some point if you’re doing this frequently with any sort of gusto. One potential drawback is that this system could be fairly brutal on your zippers. How have we not seen this before? It’s brilliant! Peak Design Packing Cubes Quick Accessibility ![]() This is 1) really satisfying to use and 2) easily the most convenient and quick access to a packing cube we’ve seen. One really innovative feature on these cubes is the Hypalon pull tab “quick access system.” Basically, you can grab the two pull tabs and quickly pull them apart, which will instantly open the whole cube. But first, a quick refresher on the sizing and Peak Design’s “Packing Unit System.” There are also Hypalon pull-tabs on the zippers and the quick-tear area that we’re going to get into in a second. You don’t really need excessively strong or thick materials for a packing cube, and 70D is still pretty solid while remaining lightweight. Most of the Peak Design gear uses Zoom zippers, so we’re not really sure why they opted for YKK here-but regardless, these are some high quality zippers.Īnd while the fabric is a bit lower denier than some of their other packing tools, we think it makes perfect sense for a packing cube. The zippers are YKK brand, which is actually a bit odd. The main exterior fabric of these cubes is a 70D nylon and polyester blend. That has been a common trend in most of the Peak Design stuff we’ve tested. In general, there are a lot of things going on with these packing cubes that we haven’t seen in many other cubes on the market-which, at this point, isn’t a huge surprise. (Not literally inside of them, they’re far too small for a human.) Peak Design Packing Cubes If not, you might want to check out the other items in the greater Peak Design Travel System: The Travel Backpack, Camera Cubes, Tech Pouch, and Wash Pouch.Īnd so, without further ado, let’s get into these packing cubes. If you’ve arrived here because you’ve been reading through some of the other Peak Design Packing Tool reviews-welcome! You know what you’re getting yourself into. In this review, we are taking a look at the Peak Design Packing Cubes.
