TRIPPED Travel GearCompression Packing Cubes Set for Travel - Lightweight, Durable Clothes Organizer for Carry-On Luggage and Suitcases by TRIPPED Travel Gear

I have not used these yet on a trip but I did a practice pack at home and I love how they just make it all compact and organized. You dont need a vacuum (which I dont know about you, but I dont bring one on vacation!!!!). It just squishes it down with the outer zipper like when you need extra room in your suitcase.

I chose these compression bags because I liked everything about their look- color combination, size, even the logo. They zipped up well and work great. Now I have a nicely organized go bag in case of an emergency.

I'm a longtime fan of packing cubes. Even the non-compression cubes provide a good bit of compression and enable you to get much more into your luggage and keep it organized with less wrinkling. All of the ones I've used seem a little like magic. (Try some if you haven't!)These are my first compression cubes. I haven't traveled with them yet but did a trial packing in the smaller one. They do allow some additional compression (only if you don't pack them too full to start) via their extra zipper, but there was not the significant difference I was expecting.I didn't have a regular packing cube in the exact same size, but I had one that is very close. I packed it almost full (not as full to the side as I normally would, to allow for the slight difference in size) with rolled clothing reaching above the top edge (as I normally do) and zipped it, which compressed it a good bit as usual.Then I put the same clothing into the new compression packing cube. The first zipper closed fine, as usual, compressing it a good bit, as usual. However, try as I might using my weight on a hard surface, I couldn't get the second compression zipper to close more than about a third of the way. Therefore, these don't seem to offer a great advantage over my regular packing cubes. (The older classic version of eBags packing cubes, for reference.)In the photo (this cube on top of my empty regular cube), both cubes zipped just fine for the first zipper, compressing the clothes a good bit in both cubes. But no-go on the compression zipper with the same amount of clothing in each. Must reduce the amount to get the compression zipper closed, which defeats the purpose.This isn't just the Tripped brand. I had noticed in every video review of different brands of compression packing cubes they are never packed to the brim before zipping the first zipper. (I pack my regular cubes more fully, with no problems.) The compression cubes are always only what I consider "partially full" to start. I now understand why. I guess you can't change physics.If you don't already own packing cubes, get these if you like them. They are nice and will offer a bit more compression but you can't fully pack them to begin. If you already own packing cubes you like, I don't see any advantage in replacing them with compression cubes. These are great packing cubes, just not much difference in comparison to my older regular ones.A couple of things I do prefer in my older cubes, which have nothing to do with not having the compression zipper:The top of my regular cubes unzips around both ends, allowing me to remove clothing without taking other clothing out first (unless it's on a bottom layer, of course). With these compression cubes, if you want something that's in the closed end that the first zipper doesn't go around, you have to first remove the clothing that's in front of it. Not a deal-breaker, but inconvenient.Also, while the color of these is beautiful, you can't see the contents. I like the mesh of my old ones which allows me to see what's inside, as I often use multiple packing cubes.I'd probably rate any decent lightweight sturdy packing cube 5 stars on its own merits, without comparing to others. They really are a packing wonder. These are also good cubes, but I took off a star in comparison because they don't hold much if any more in the same space than my regular ones (the way I fully pack mine), and a couple of features could be improved.

Could not have traveled for 12 days with only a carryon if I didn’t have these bags. Zippers and nylon material is super strong. Love that they’re clear enough to see what’s inside without unzipping.

Second set I’ve bought as I use them a lot and they’re a game changer. Keep everything in place in your suitcase and make packing much easier. I travel quite a lot and can travel very light if I need to. These work well in a suitcase and in an average size backpack. I can find everything quicker. I wish they sold the large size as a pack of 2 or even pack of 1 as I don’t need the pack of 7. If the seller is reading this…would be great if you could do that so loyal customers can add to what they already have more easily. Been using my first for around 6 years. Still going strong, no fraying, zips still work perfectly. Highly recommend.

I cant believe how much I was able to domfortably pack into a carry on. Just works. Fantastic

I took a chance on these packing cubes because I wanted something that would replace my current non-compression packing cubes and they looked really nice and the reviews were pretty good even though this set of cubes was roughly double what I paid for my other non-compression cubes (I have the same number of cubes with my old set). When I received them, I used them right away. The first thing I noticed is that the main zipper that allows you to place your items inside and then zip it up before compressing does not unzip all the way around which causes you to have to slide your items in the cube instead of just placing them down in it. This to me is a very poor design. My old cubes unzip all the way around so I am able to place the items directly down in the cube instead of having to cram them in. The second issue I experienced (and was mentioned in another review) is that when you use the zipper for compressing, it snags/catches on the packing cube material quite a bit. The materials of these cubes is similar to camping tent material so you can imagine getting a snag or it catching while trying to zip it up to compress it. I was able to find a way to eliminate most of the snagging by placing a finger under the zipper and pushing the excess cube material down while pulling the zipper with my other hand. Overall, these cubes work as expected, but unless you are just sold on the "look" of these cubes, I would look at purchasing another set that has a better zipper design for less money.

I recently bought these Gonex compression packing cubes for myself and used them on a trip before spending more on the more name brand versions. Overall, I'm very happy with them. They definitely live up to the "compression" name.The organization they provide is great, just like any packing cube, but the compression feature on these is particularly effective. They really do save a significant amount of space in the luggage once you zip the compression zipper.One thing to note: the compression is quite aggressive, so you can't overstuff the cube before trying to zip the compression zipper. Just pack reasonably, then compress. Despite that small learning curve, I'm very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend them.
