These arrived today so I haven't used them yet and will update this review in October after I've taken 3 one week trips with them. I love the orange color and they look well made and the zippers seem to be high quality. I always thought packing cubes were worthless until I took a 14 day bus tour last year with a change of hotels every other day. Rifling through my suitcase every night made a mess of my clothes (and I wasn't about to completely unpack every other day!) and drove me crazy because I'm an organized person but my organizational skills were suspended during this bus trip. (I'm used to cruises where you unpack once.) I was using compression space bags for packing (which produced wrinkles) but I think the cubes will be better because you can unzip the top completely and just lay the cube in a drawer and your unpacking is done! The "laundry bag" would never accommodate all my dirty clothes so I may use it as a shoe bag.

Love! However, the large and XL are very big. Next time I will buy just the medium and small pack instead. Shacke is a very good brand though, so whatever sizes you order, stick with them. I was very happy.

Not sure if this helps, but I bought these for a backpacking through Europe. I have an Osprey Farpoint 40 and I could only fit either 2 mediums or 1 medium and 2 smalls. The large could kind of fit but it was bulky and not practice for what I needed to pack. Maybe the large would be good for jeans and jackets?

I have had absolutely no problems with the Shacke Pak. I love that you can get them in different colors. It is very easy to see your clothing through the screen. After watching several You-tune videos I learned how to pack using these, and was able to overstuff with no problems! For me, the largest cube in this set is a bit too big. I like the medium sizes the best. I do not have another packing cube to compare this to but am happy with these.

I'll admit, I was skeptical that packing cubes overall would be worth it. Can you pack a bag without these? Most definitely. Could you theoretically pack the same amount of materials with or without these? Sure. However, the main value for me was the ease of packing and unpacking my stuff each stop we made. We visited 5 cities in Europe for 2.5 weeks and I absolutely loved these. Instead of having to pack and unpack all of my clothes for a total of 10+ times, these cubes were so convenient for this trip because they kept all of my clothes compact and mobile. It also helped me separate my worn clothes from clean ones throughout the trip as well. It comes with 4 which was more than enough for my wife and I. I used the largest and second smallest to pack the following: 2 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of khakis, 6 pairs of shorts, 8 socks, 8 briefs, 8 shirts, and even with room to spare. I never struggled to zip them shut. My wife who is much smaller than I am was able to fit all of her clothes in the 2nd largest and smallest bag.

These are an absolute must purchase if you want convenience or if you plan on moving quite a bit. Maybe not necessary if you are setting up in one location for a while but it certainly wouldn't hurt either.

I admit I'm an organized person; maybe that's why I really like these packing cubes. When you open the suitcase for our trip to Ireland, you see 4 green cubes. (I'm sure the airport security people will be impressed.) Each cube holds a lot of clothes. A medium cubes held 2 pair of pants and 4 long sleeve shirts. The large cube held a size 44 jeans and khakis, and 4 XL shirts.

On a prior trip, the airport lost my husband's suitcase. Since that time. We pack half my clothes and half my husbands clothes in each suitcase. With the packing cubes, we each have our own cube worth of clothes.

My only concern is how badly the clothes will be wrinkled, but I'm not sure if it will be worse than rolling the clothes. After ur trip, I'm going to buy another set of packing cubes.
