Great Product, Fantastic Value, Great Size mixture
August 26, 2017
I love these. I have purchased the Eagle Creek compression pack cubes in the past, but they are so expensive for the little you get (only 2 pcs for $37). These ARE compression, they DO have another zipper that compresses them. The rip-stop nylon on the bag is durable, and the zipper and pulls are durable. I would have to say just as durable as my Eagle Creek ones. I love the larger size, since men's clothing is bigger than women's, it will be nice to pack my husbands shorts and clothing in. These are a great value for what you get, and nice to get a large one (I have not seen any other companies that offer this larger size).
UPDATE: I just used them for my trip, they are fantiastic. This package of various sizes is a great value and the large size is perfect for men's clothes. The zippers are durable, as is the product. I will be buying another set of these. It's nice to keep everything separated. They held up just as well as my Eagle Creek ones, and they were much less expensive for more of them.

Poor quality
June 29, 2018
Bought these for a trip and just went to go use them and the handle ripped off without hardly using any force. The stitching I noticed has a lot of loose strings hanging off as well too. I really was hoping for $40 these would be a lot better then the other sets I saw on amazon. I’m very disappointed I only used them once and they ripped very frustrating. I leave tomorrow for my trip and will just have to make due for now but buyer be warned these are very cheap and will rip.

I was really excited to take these compression cubes on a trip. Unfortunately, four out of six of them had their compression zippers catch on the bag material and get stuck, BADLY stuck , no matter how carefully I zipped them. Neither I nor my stronger friend were able to free them, even with pliers. So I can't even use them as regular packing cubes anymore, since they got stuck in a half-compressed state.
If you buy these and never compress them, you can use them as normal packing cubes. But the zipper compression design seems to have this fatal flaw if you want to try to compress them.

I was so excited to receive these packing cubes/bags. Great idea, organization, and colors! I bought 2 sets. The first time I used them the zipper got caught/stuck on all but 4 bags upon first zip. For whatever reason, when the zipper catches on the fabric(which seems inevitable)there is no going back. Martha Stewart and Mike Tyson could not unsnag these zippers when(not if) they snag.
As for the bags with functional zippers; they really don’t compress. The cubes are breathable, therefore they don’t have the compression component of an airtight bag. So, you don’t gain more space in your suitcase through compression. You actually lose space by packing 2,3,4....bulky, unnecessary bags. Don’t waste your money. Use ziplocks.

I was so excited to get these for our 5 week vacation. We were limited on luggage so I thought these would be great. Sadly disappointing. After fussing with them for over an hour I realized I can do a better job myself by rolling my clothes and packing my suitcase. The biggest disappointment came when I went to return them. I had ordered them well ahead of my trip and the seller has a return by date so I could not return. Watch some videos on how to roll your clothes and save yourself the money to spend on your trip.

I was really disappointed when I received these in the mail and upon inspecting its quality, I had to return it. As a frequent traveler, I could not bring myself to keep a product which had seams already frayed without even using it. The mesh fabric was obviously poor quality and I've seen much better on medium quality leggings to be honest. Anyways, I didn't use this product so my review is limited. However, I did exchange this product for their NOT-mesh compression cubes and those seem a bit higher in quality and compression ability. However, both products can be difficult to open and close without the zippers snagging on the fabric which always scares me because that could easily rip the fabric.

They somewhat compress and save a little bit of space, but the quality is pretty bad. For one, the zipper gets stuck constantly when you're trying to compress it. On top of that, the handle on my large one broke halfway through my 2 week trip. So it lasted about a week. Definitely not worth the cost based on the quality

Compression zippers keep catching and getting stuck around corners. It is possible to fix with some work, but would make packing 100x harder so I'll be returning the bags.

This is my first experience with packing cubes, previously used the roll/squish vacuum type compression bags. These bags are ok. Have used them on two week long work trips and they've held up so far. Not sure how others are getting all of the bags to fit in a carry on suitcase .... my case must be much smaller, the large cube filled up almost the entire case. As other have noted, zipping the bags is a problem - you need to zip them very slow and put your fingers under and in front of the zipper to keep the fabric from getting caught and even doing that, it does sometimes still get stuck. The compression is, well, not very impressive - maybe different fabrics compress differently -- I had jeans and shirts, rolled in the cubes? Another issue is getting to your stuff without everything falling out of the bag because the side walls collapse when unzipped. The two zippers on the bag can be confusing too, they look the same and it's tough to figure out which one to unzip to open vs uncompress -- it would be good if the zippers were a different color or had some visual cue as to which is which. The other issue I ran into is there is no way to separate clean from dirty clothes if you have multiple stops in your trip or even when you pack to go home and have unused articles. Used the laundry bag as a shoe bag -- double duty!

The zipper catches on the nylon fabric every time I close the bag. In my opinion, it really does not save space in a suitcase as it does not stay compressed.

These were good for keeping my clothes organized and easy to find on a long trip. However, the zippers would catch on the fabric when trying to compress, I would have to remember to put my finger under the zipper as I closed it or it would get stuck. I don't think they really compress overall, the outside edges do, but then it just bunches up in the middle of the bag, they don't compress flat so you have this odd shape that then leaves space in your suitcase all around the edges of the bags.
