Works As Described With One Minor Flaw
August 31, 2018
I'm giving this product 4 stars because it does what it says it will do - I was able to fit 11 tops, 7 pairs of shorts, 3 workout outfits (pants and tanks) and one set of pajamas in the large cube, and it compressed to about half its height once it was all zipped up. I'm deducting one star because you have to zip the compression part up VERY carefully - I mean, ridiculously carefully - or the inner fabric in the zipper track will get caught in the zipper, resulting in the zipper not being able to move backward or forward. When this happens, you will totally have to unzip the cube in order to remove the fabric from the zipper. If the cube if full, you need to follow the zipper around with your finger underneath it and tuck in the sides until it's completely zipped. Not a deal-breaker, but it will be pain if you're in a hurry to pack and have to unpack/repack everything to fix the zipper.
I haven't used these for my trip yet but if anything changes I will update my review after I return.

Do yourself a favor and invest in a different brand!

MAJOR DESIGN FLAW. Should've listened to other reviewers who said the zipper gets stuck on the inside fabric when compressing. I've literally spent a half an hour trying to unstick and back up the zipper only to get more fabric stuck. It's impossible. I even went ahead and lead with my finger when zipping thinking that won't happen to leave if I'm careful. Well it was. The frustration is not worth it. Even though they pack you rthings nicely.

I've used three products before and they are great. This set is sized for full sized luggage. When zipped down to compress it's like a firm little pillow. I love the colour options, nice and bright so it stands out in the hotel, but not gaudy that I would be embarrassed to own.
Two things I would like to have. The zipper are great, but on there smaller sets designed for backpackers, the zippers had an extra textured tab attached for extra leverage. The other is the opening is a little odd, not bad just feels uneven when trying to slide my stack of clothes in (I'm a flat packer). Otherwise it's a great product at a good price.

Wow! Absolutely delighted! These are great, I've used a different brand in the past and these are made in a dramatically different and better way. These have MUCH better compression then any others I've tried. The stitching and zippers are very secure and well made. VERY HAPPY!!!

I bought the Travel Packing Cubes, Gonex Luggage Organizers L+M+3XS+Laundry Bag, and LOVE it. I thought I'd get some more so I bought this set for those longer trips where I pack more.
MISTAKE! BEWARE! This 4 piece set does not have full zippers. Each case only partially opens. That means you have to stuff it, versus rolling clothes (or not) into a fully open cube. Partially open also makes it impossible to see everything in there. They're useless for me. I'll take them to stuff dirty clothes and shoes into.

I haven't used them yet, but will on my vacation that is coming up soon. I did try the large one and one middle size to see what they could hold. The large one held 3 pair of pants, a long dress and a two piece top that is kind of long. The middle one held a 2 piece bathing suit ( tankeenie and shorts), three tops and a lightweight mid length jacket. I was very happy with the number of items held by the 2 bags I tried. I will update after I actually use them. The only thing I would change is, I wish I could see through the bags(mesh top maybe?) so I could easily tell which one was holding which items.
Update: I used all of these on my trip and they held up fine.

These are fantastic for the price! I was sskeptical about how well they would actually work and how much space they would save and I was presently surprised to see that these really save a ton of space! I was able to fit twice the amount of stuff in my bag with his compression cubes and will really help my 7-Day travel backpack save room for awesome souvenirs. One word of warning watch the inner fabric when you zip because it very easily gets caught in zipper this is avoidable with just a bit of caution but could be really inconvenient if you're trying to pack up last minute.

The zippers broke on my trip and then they were useless. Even when they worked, it was time consuming to zip them up. I prefer the clear plastic compression bags that I can see what’s in them whereas with these bags you can’t see what’s in them without opening them

Fantastic and hard to find set of four compression bags. The largest one is quite roomy and I’m sure my daughters will love these as Christmas gifts. We travel a lot and pack only carry on luggage so compression packing cubes do an excellent job of keeping things neat and compressed. We use different colors for different items. Best travel idea ever and these look like a quality product. We’re heading off on a two week excursion so if they don’t hold up I will change my review. The colors are lovely too! The yellow is more of a lovely mustard. My daughter will love!

I was amazed at how well these worked out. Well made and was able to fit clothes for several weeks and different climates as well as dress and casual wear in one carry-on and a backpack. Love the bright colors! These will get many years of use.

These are well made and come in colors that will stand out in your luggage. The zippered gusset is a nice feature. The only negative is that the main zipper in each cube only zippers part of the way. It would be much nicer if the zipper went three quarters around like you luggage which would make it easier to fill and also easier to take a quick look at the entire contents once packed.

You know that one jacket you have that you can't ever close because the liner always gets stuck in the zipper? I hope you enjoy that, because the same thing will happen every time you use these. Every. Single. Time. It's infuriating.
Otherwise they're fine or whatever.
