5-Set Packing Cube Set (Green Grass)

Pros:- Quality build- Excellent zipper quality and durability- Strong seams- Lightweight- Open netting design allows for visibility of contents and easy compression- Attractive but simple colors and design- Comfortable zipper pulls- Comes with sack to carry all the packing cubes and can alternatively be used as a travel laundry bag- 4 packing cubes for the price of many competitors offering 3- Excellent customer serviceCons:- Nothing major at the moment, but I am starting to notice after a few months of use that some of the seams appear to be stretching a little too far and am concerned that it may tear after a while- The plastic spring cord lock used on the sack that carries all the packing cubes (I used the sack as a "dirty laundry bag") broke after a monthPersonal Experience:Ask me a year ago whether I would ever have packing cubes and I would have scoffed at you and declared that it was illogical to try to save packing space by using packing cubes that forced the cube shape. Now...I'm a believer!!Packing cubes have changed the way I packed forever. Not only does it organize everything I pack (underwear, socks, pajamas go in one; shirts and pants go in another, etc), it allows me to pack 2-3 times more than I used to be able to because you are able to squeeze everything into a packing cube and then zip it up. Packing cubes don't add any appreciable weight to your luggage because they are so lightweight anyway. And for longer trips, I simply take out my packing cubes from my duffel bag/suitcase and they serve as drawers for all my travel items.In terms of Shacke Pak specifically, I referenced in my "Pros" why I think Shacke Pak is generally superior to other brands. In particular, I received one packing cube that had an issue with the zipper that resulted in the zipper handle breaking pre-maturely. I contacted Shacke Pak and customer service immediately sent me a replacement packing cube without any hassle. I am very pleased with the customer service and it has given me some measure of confidence that they will continue to take care of their customers in the future.**Update: I also own two sets of eBags packing cubes (you can read my other reviews) and have had the opportunity to compare them directly to Shacke Pak. In all honesty, both brands make exceptional packing cubes and you really wouldn't be disappointed either way. But to be nit picky, I will share a few of my observations:- Shacke Pak uses a material with a matte finish compared to the more shiny honeycomb design of eBags. The Shacke Pak material stretches ever so slightly, whereas the eBags material has very little give. As a result, it appears that the material eBags uses is slightly more durable, but Shacke Pak looks slightly more premium.- Shacke Pak uses hidden stitching beneath the zippers, whereas eBags uses a double stitched design in most places. After owning the Shacke Pak packing cubes for about a year, I am noticing that the hidden stitching under the zipper pulls a little more and actually becomes visible when I pack the cubes tightly. This concerns me slightly and makes me question the long term durability whereas eBags' double stitched design seems to hold strong regardless of how tightly I pack the cubes.- The depth of Shacke Pak packing cubes is .75" to 1" more, so you can pack more.- The zipper pull handle (not the zipper itself) on one of my packing cubes from Shacke Pak fell off after one month. I contacted Shacke Pak and they immediately sent me an entire new packing cube. Shacke Pak demonstrated excellent customer service, but at the same time I am a little concerned that something like that happened so quickly in the first place. Since then, I have had no issues with my two sets of packing cubes from Shacke Pak. I have had no issues with eBags in terms of the zippers or zipper handles in the 6 months that I have owned them.- Shacke Pak packing cubes gives you 4 for the price of approximately 3 from eBags. Also, Shacke Pak includes a pouch with the packing cubes that can be conveniently used as a dirty laundry bag when you're travelling. You seem to get a little more for your money with Shacke Pak.- Zipper quality for both is excellent, as they both use YKK zippers.- Overall: You can't go wrong with either and each brand has slight advantages over the other in a few areas. I personally think eBags is slightly more durable, but that Shacke Pak is slightly more attractive and gives you a little more for your money.Conclusion:If you are looking for a high quality and durable set of packing cubes for travelling, you really can't go wrong with the Shacke Pak set. The price is reasonable and you get 4 packing cubes for the price of what most competitors charge for 3. I have not had any real issues with quality or durability (I travel and use these a lot, but I will update my review in the future), and Shacke Pak has already demonstrated to me that they have excellent customer service. I also think the Shacke Pak packing cube set provides one of the most stylish designs compared to the others out there.**I have included a picture of one my packing cubes when it is packed tightly showing what I mean about the hidden stitching being stretched and visible. This concerns me a bit.

I purchased 2 sets of these packing cubes because my family is selling our house and going to travel full time for a little while. My goal is to keep everything organized and I initially thought I was going to be needing 2 of the XL cubes (1 of which comes in a set). However once I opened the packs, and started packing the XL cube, I realized just how much you can actually fit in that thing, and it gets heavy very quickly.I first purchased OlarHike 6 set of packing cubes. When trying to open one of the cubes, the zipper just didn't want to slide. Not a promising start before it's packed with anything. I returned them, in hopes these cubes were slightly better quality for 1 less cube in the pack. And WOW! The zippers on these things are wonderful!! I have REI brand packing cubes from ages ago and the zippers on this set rival that of the REI brand, I'm so impressed. They're beefy and seem like they will hold up over time and use. I already have quite a few of them packed and it's getting me excited to hit the road!I purchased the light blue color and it's so pretty. Maybe not quite as bright as pictured, but I like the color a lot.The construction is great, the seams looks sturdy and everything looks reinforced. Once packed, the zippers glide closed. The sizes are a good variety, and when I tell you the biggest cube of the lot is big, it's HUGE. I fit 15 pair of shorts (maybe more, I wasn't counting) and just as many tshirts, with room to spare. I may not even end up using that particular cube, because like I said it gets heavy quickly. And I'm trying to downsize not being my entire wardrobe with me.The little laundry bag that comes with is of really high quality material, very durable. Too small for my needs, but I'll be using it for my son's travel toy bin.Keep in mind, these are NOT compression packing cubes. You can fit a lot in them, probably pack them full and not bust the seams. But they do not have a second zipper for compression.What else can I say about these cubes, they're great, and you can't beat the quality and variety for the price. 11/10 would recommend!!

I was a little skeptical that these would be of benefit, but I was so glad I purchased them. I used them for a 7 day cruise. The larger cube held 3 pants, 3 shorts, and 4 capris - plus 10 pant hangers (see photo). The pants/capris/shorts had no wrinkles when I packed, and it was so convenient to unpack. The smaller cube I used for a bathing suit and cover-up. The medium fit some of the tops, but I wish I had purchased the package with two large cubes. I could have fit all bottoms in one and tops in another. I highly recommend these!

These really help to organize my different items within my suitcase and/or bags. I wish, however, that the largest bag was smaller. It’s about as big as one side of my suitcase, which I feel kind of defeats the purpose of breaking up the clothing into smaller, more manageable parts. It’s also too big for most of my carryon or overnight bags. The other sized bags are great.

I just started packing them and so far I am very happy with the quality. The sizes are perfect and I may not even need all of them for a 10 day trip. My husband hates the process of packing and this totally minimized his trauma. It forced him to pre-think his selections, and it is allowing him to be much more organized and confident that he has everything.

This has changed my packing and traveling ease. I love not having to check bags if I don'twant to. This helps immensely. The different size options are great. Also, very helpful if I'm using a duffle bag style, keeping my clothes and other things separate and not jumbled all together. Staying organized while using on vacation makes repacking to head home much quicker.
