Do you want to help me build a game-changing backpack? 👉🏼 nomadsnation.com/building-a-backpack

@RazahLP 8 месяцев назад

I can recommend using a small s-carabiner to "securely close" the two main zippers if the cube is packed out fully.

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

great call

@redboy. 8 месяцев назад

I loveeeeeee mine. I bought three different color smalls instead of one medium and two small at the rec of the salesman, plus the shoe pouch to go into my 30L bag. Glad I listened to his rec as it gave me more options / flexability for packing. All three fully packed smalls and the shoe pouch with my boots fit in the 30l like a charm. I also attached the shoe pouch externally once with the included bag straps when I needed more room as well. Traveled with this setup overseas for a month and a half. Can’t recommend enough!

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

awesome! I agree, that the Medium is HUGE! 2-3 small ones can work better

@houserhythm 8 месяцев назад

I pack these "to the brim" every time, to the point that I see the stitching and I'm scared they're gonna rip, but one has never opened on me by itself. Yes, the expansion mesh can snag when closing the zipper, but you get used to paying attention to that and it's a minor downside to how nice the material is/feels. Yes they are pricey, but I'm sure I would have ripped any other cubes with the way I pack. And finally, yes, the feeling of ripping them open by the pull tabs is so satisfying!

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

All the reasons why they are often considered the best

@jonuiuc 8 месяцев назад

I got a set of these, the expansion is pretty nice, they have a lot of depth. Good for big travel type luggage and bags and duffels. Though I have another set that doesn’t expand and is thinner for use in bags that have shallower compartments.

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

I love them, but still find myself using the Tortuga Packing Cubes more

@CannabisTechLife 8 месяцев назад

Using my pd packing cubes today to fly across the country. They fit and compress so well. Totally agree that it needs some built in locking mech. Specially given their backpacks have such lock downs.

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

that would be next level

@mustangeek 8 месяцев назад

I bought a set of Tripped packing cubes just like the PD cubes, they are very durable. Liked them so much I got a second set for my spouse.

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

nice! I'll be sure to check them out

@mt_front 8 месяцев назад

Recently decided to ditch the destination day bag and just use one travel bag, so bought a PD medium packing cube as my first packing cube. Took it to a few trips and been really happy with it so far. One thing I would add to the review is that it has a separate department for dirty cloth which comes very handy.

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

thank you, I didn't emphasize that enough, but I also didn't test it out. Does it work well (aka, is it big enough and keep out any unwanted smells?)

@mt_front 8 месяцев назад

@@Nomads.Nation it’s stretchy so big enough for me. I didn’t notice smell issue, though to be fair I also didn’t put super dirty cloth in it. Either way just a nice option to separate things and won’t eat up space when not in use.

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

@@mt_front 💯

@tpa729 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the excellent review!!! I'm quite hesitating because of the price point since I've got already the eagle spectre, clean/dirty cube. I like the option to compress AND still have the two sided design.

@Nomads.Nation 2 месяца назад

Cheers! They are great packing cubes for sure but only you can decide if you need them 💪🏻

@Daviddd10 8 месяцев назад

Can you review the Topo Design travel backpack 40L? It seems like a popular option but want to see your take on it and the ecosystem they have for it

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

on our radar - hopefully soon!

@MrVibhas 3 месяца назад

Hey Aaron, after a fair bit of research of mixed responses - any idea if the packing cubes and shoe pouch are washing machine washable [i.e. delicate]?

@Nomads.Nation 3 месяца назад

Unfortunately I have no idea, but if you reach out to Peak Design customer support I’m sure they’ll help you out

@jamotto1569 8 месяцев назад

Ah yes the self-opening Peak Design cubes reinventing the 52 pickup game! Really surprised after all these years PD has yet to remedy the issue. To get around the issue of the zipper getting caught in the mesh as I am zipping I just place my ring finger just in front of the slider to keep the fabric pushed back so you can prevent that with one hand. A possible alternative if you don't need the fancy opening and can step down just a bit on quality is the Pack-It Isolate Compression Cubes from Eagle Creek they have served me well.

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

"52 pickup" 😂

@michaelmonk4316 8 месяцев назад

My go to and favorite packing cubes. So here’s a question has anyone noticed a material change? The reason why I ask is that I had some older ones and then needed a few more and purchased some new ones from the website and they seem to be slightly thicker material than my older ones. Still great product just wondering if anyone else noticed this.

@erichanson5628 8 месяцев назад

Nice! Love my Peak Design packing cubes! Have a medium and three small. I only use one or two at a time 🙂

@Nomads.Nation 8 месяцев назад

yea they are big, can handle a lot

@matthewsinger 2 месяца назад

I was looking at these and noticed that the second compartment is outside the compression. How well do these fit all of your dirty clothes toward the end of your trip?

@Nomads.Nation 2 месяца назад

Pretty well, it fills up quickly but gets the job done in my experience

@flygirl2436 2 месяца назад

Self-proclaimed: Travel packing cube addict- I bought the PD 'tech pouch', 1 small packing cube, 2 large packing cubes in 2 different colours. I didn't buy the PD shoe pouch because I have a "bag to life" 'easy packing set', and other travel essentials. 😂😅
