Gonex Compression Packing Cubes for Travel, Mesh Bags Luggage Organizers

So first off, when I travel (which is usually for a week or less), I rarely unpack my suitcase; I don't start hanging things up or using the dresser drawers. I live out of the suitcase. For my trip last week, I had to pack for cooler weather, which of course means more and heavier clothes, maybe boots, and so on. And with air travel being what it is, especially for us poor folks who travel basic economy and have to pay for the air we breathe, no carry-ons are allowed, we get hit with checked-bag fees and weight limits, etc. Therefore, I was worried that my luggage (one "carry-on" and one "under-seat/personal item"), would be an issue. I normally use Space Bags, which work very well, but the problem is that some of them require a vacuum to suck the air out, so although I could do that at home for the trip out, I knew I wouldn't have access to a vacuum when packing to come back. I considered getting one of those suitcases that becomes a "closet," but they're not cheap (and right now I'm unemployed), and honestly the luggage I have is fine. So I saw these compression organizer bags and decided to try them. There are multiple useful sizes in this bunch, they have a really nice floral design, they have a silky feel, the zippers seem very well made, and I'll jump ahead and tell you that when I got home and ran them thru the washer and dryer, they came out FINE (although the instructions say to hand wash and line dry). In the largest one, I fit the following: a pair of heavy jeans; a pair of sweat pants; 2 pairs of workout-type leggings; 5 T-shirts, a tank top, 2 long-sleeved shirts, one long-sleeved thermal shirt, 4 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of PJs, and a workout resistance band. There may have been a couple other things in there, but the point is, it literally held ALL my clothes for the week. There was no problem closing the regular zipper, or the second zipper that provides the "compression." I put that in quotes because the front of the bag has mesh, so air gets in and out, but it stayed nice and flat. With a little attention, the second (compression) zipper did fine and didn't snag the inside fabric at all, something I had heard someone complain about. In one of the smaller bags, I fit all my undergarments (so, 4 or 5 bras, 6 pairs of panties) with room to spare, and in another I put some toiletries, also with room to spare. I used another bag to put some electronic-type stuff (chargers, cables, night-lights, extension cord, etc), and coming home I used the laundry bag to re-pack all the dirty stuff, which fit quite nicely, just to keep it a little separate from the clean stuff, even though I wash everything once I get home. Going and coming home, I had room to spare in the carry-on suitcase, even with the addition of an umbrella, a pair of sneakers, a travel hairdryer, and a travel pillow, all in the main compartment. I could easily have fit another pair of shoes (or even boots) and more in there. I don't think I could have achieved this with my usual Space Bags. Before Space Bags, I used to "flat pack," but again, unless you organize your stuff in smaller bags (preferably see-through), you are going to be digging thru the entire suitcase to find the item you need. I know there are people who think rolling their clothes is the best way, but the same problem occurs; unless you put your rolled stuff into separate bags, you are going to be digging thru the suitcase to pull out what you need. Note that if you're the kind of person who unpacks on arrival, these might not be as crucial for you. Bottom line, I do think the compression aspect helps, and I do think that this particular brand does a nice job all around in terms of the features and quality as mentioned above. It's a great way to organize things and save space, and the mesh panels are really helpful, to see what's in each bag.

I recently bought these Gonex Compression Packing Cubes for my 12-year-old son, who alternates weekly between my house and his mother's, and they have been a good addition to his travel routine. These packing cubes have made organizing his school clothes, shoes, jacket, Nintendo Switch case, and personal items a breeze, ensuring everything has its place and is easy to find. The durability of these cubes stands out, especially considering the frequent use by a busy and active pre-teen. They've held up well so far, showing no early signs of wear and tear. The zippers are sturdy and easy for him to use. The compression feature of these cubes is great. It's impressive how much we can fit into each cube, especially his bulkier items like jackets and sneakers, and then compress them down to fit snugly in his luggage bag. This has allowed him to carry all he needs without having to send more bags due to space constraints. The assortment of cube sizes is ideal for his varied items. The larger cubes accommodate his gym clothing, sweater, and jacket, while the smaller ones are perfect for shirts, pants, and socks . The mesh tops are particularly useful, making it easy for him to see where everything is at a glance and helping keep his clothes fresh. These packing cubes have also instilled in him a sense of responsibility and organization. He takes pride in packing his bag now, knowing exactly where each item should go. It's been a great way to teach him about managing his belongings and making his weekly transitions smoother. He also loves the blue! These are a game changer. They keep his luggage organized, make packing and unpacking simple, and are durable enough. I highly recommend them for children’s luggage.

I’ve used packing cubes in the past but I was curious about compression cubes and if they would work better. I saw this brand mentioned on a YouTube travel channel, and figured I’d try them for my 2025 Alaska cruise. They worked better than I imagined. Now I admit I had to purchase a couple of sets of more compression cube. Packing for Alaska, isn’t like packing for a Caribbean cruise. Your clothes will be bulkier. You will have sweaters, hoodies, coats, thermals, etc. Plus, I needed to be even better organized; a stroke affected my optic nerves so my vision is less than perfect. The cubes helped keep things in order. Each one worked as designed. I was able to pack down all necessary items, with space to put the leggings in one medium one, sweaters in a second etc. Smaller bags were good for accessories like socks and my beanie. The larger bags I used for my bulkier coats, which is why I ordered a second set. In the end the cubes were so versatile I had to make sure I didn’t lack too much. The clothing remained wrinkle free, and except for dresses or skirts, I placed the entire cube inside my stateroom drawers to keep things under control. The zippers worked just find, even when under a bit of strain or pressure, and each cube was very light and unlike the original packing cube of 10 to 15 years ago. Along with that extra ZIP giving you a tiny more space was beneficial, as real estate inside one’s luggage is prime. As I starred, this was packing for an Alaskan cruise. You might not need as much for a weekend getaway or a warm weather cruise. But it was nice “stretching” then to the maximum to see if they would hold up. Each bag did, and I will be using them again for my 10-day cruise to Iceland/Greenland,Quebec. Very useful and recommended.

THESE ARE FANTASTIC! GOOD SELECTION OF SIZES, STRONG MATERIAL AND ZIPPERS. WASH & DRY WELL, AND ARE PERFECT FOR TRAVELING.

This Compression Packing Cubes set is a total success! It works super well for organizing clothes and saving space in the suitcase. The zippers are sturdy, the material feels durable, and the compression really makes a difference when packing. Highly recommend for travel. ⸻ Pros: • Saves space in luggage • Durable material • Strong zippers • Great for organizing clothes Cons: • None so far

Love, love, love these packing cubes. I love them so much I have three sets of my own, and highly recommend them to everyone I know who travels. I am a true believer in the Gonex brand. Unlike my travel companion who hates cubes and can never find anything in her suitcase, I am a true believer in cubes. With a cube, my stuff isn't rattling around in my bags, and I don't need to paw through everything to find what I want. Everything is very organized, and I can pack and unpack in a flash - after all, I never want to keep that hard won vacation waiting any longer than absolutely necessary). What makes these cubes special (and I have had others, all of which have gone to Goodwill at this point): the mesh top allows me to see enough of what is inside the cube that I don't need to guess, the cubes compress very nicely, and the zippers have all held up to A LOT of abuse over my many trips.

I just used these on a week long trip. They hold more than you think and make packing so nice, my luggage was very organized. Nothing was wrinkled. I have a two week trip coming up and will be using them again.

These use generic cheap zippers from Gonex brand. That is how they saved money and compromise on quality. Don't ever purchase anything with zippers that are not from YKK (look up both brand names on the internet and you will find out why). UPDATE: The seller proactively reached out to me to offer a full refund. They did not ask me to change the review. I think that is a great customer service. Also, for the price (I paid about $20 on sale) these are not bad if you don't try to use the compression zippers. Those can very easily catch the thin material, which will happen frequently when you try to compress the contents of the bags which, by design, will result in the bag material being pressed against from the inside.

Bought them for my sister and she loves them! Great quality and attractive

Found these really useful when packing. Having everything in one place make life easier when traveling. It mean that I know where to find items on arrival without having to look though the entire suitcase. I also used them for storage when not travel. (Shout out for the make up bag) its a little TARDIS). It holds a lot of make up products

Super pour les t-shirts, pratique

these are absolutely amazing! The print quality was above expectations and I absolutely love how lightweight they are for travelling! They have mesh they are super breathable and super easy to wash. We travel very frequently so these will come in handy organizing everything for our trip. Also make note that all of them fit inside folded up in the largest cube for storing. I personally love the floral design!!!!

Je n'ai pas eu pour l'instant l'occasion de les utiliser. Ils sont très légers. Si je dois m'en servir, cela sera pour le rangement dans une valise. C'est l'utilisation première.
