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 night 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.

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.

These are exactly what I was looking for. The sizes are awesome!! Very good for the price. Color is nice and the straps and zippers are all good. I would highly recommend these for making your travel a little more organized.

I originally bought these in hopes that they'd compress my clothes in my REI 40, but it seemed liked there was a lot of dead space, so I ended up not using them. Slightly difficult to close, but that's expected since you're cramming clothes. I do wish there was some sort of control tab because it was pretty easy to accidently zip part of the bag by accident. Overall, I would definitely recommend these if you have a more traditional suitcase! ;)

I bought these to help me pack for a ten day trip to Europe. I like that they let you organize your items and come in multiple sizes. But they definitely didn’t compress at all, so my clothes took up just as much space as they would without the bags.

Used these travel sacks on 3 occasions, each time I found myself constantly trying to get the material unstuck from the compression zipper. This will work if you don't use the compression zipper, however, since it's now past the return period, they're going to goodwill. You'll get better results using a plastic grocery bag and save the aggravation with the crappy material that constantly gets stuck in the zipper!
