M**.
Stylish and durable travel cube
I recently used the Vasco compression travel set on a 2 week trip. In the large cube I was able to pack 4 jeans, 2 slacks, and 2 golf shorts. In the medium cube I packed 5 dress shirts, 1 polo, and 2 t-shirts. Lastly in the small cube I packed 7 rolled boxer briefs.Zippers are durable, had no problem zipping them open or close.The cubes are built with a highly visible material so you can see what's inside.

Quality Waterproof Heavier Material Than Most Compression Cubes
I have used these several times, and purchased a second set through Amazon. This is not the only set of compression cubes I own, I have two other brands. This is the best by far. The first set purchased of VASCO was the full 7 piece purchased via the Kickstarter campaign. I didn't care for the additional items, but the packing cubes and the very small toiletry bag are used on every trip. The toiletry bag doesn't hold much so I have to pack additional bags. It would probably work fine for a short trip for someone who does not pack many products.They are very similar to any compression bag in function, however these are a much heavier, higher quality material, and the waterproof aspect makes them worth the purchase.I will caution from overstuffing prior to compressing, then the bag (as any compression cube will) takes on an odd shape and doesn't pack evenly in the case thus reducing the space saving benefit.I also find that to clean you must wipe them off, you apparently cannot put them in the washing machine. So I will have to see how that works out over time.These last two points are why they receive 4 instead of 5 stars.

Great Suitcase Organizer!
We had a 3 week trip planned with many stops so thought I'd give compression cubes a try! Wow so many choices! I chose these for the price. As a travel nanny I have packing down to a science. I have many regular packing cubes. I rarely use cubes as they can take up more space. But great if trip has several stops as I just grab the cube with clothes for that area. So compression cubes seemed like a good idea. Vasco makes a good product. Zippers seemed sturdy, didn't get "caught" and water resistant material looks like will last forever. There is an art to packing. Stagger clothes and you won't have that "hill" effect when compressed. These are not to be compared to the ones that "suck all the air out" bags. But they do a good job compacting. These were a good price as I compared cubes. They allowed me to keep my dresses separated from tops from jeans etc. I didn't have to rummage and mess up suitcase, just pulled out cubes for that stop.So why not a 5 star rating? One tiny improvement is needed! They need a clear pocket on outside to write what is inside! I ended up using sticky dots (green for tops, red for jeans etc) and they worked for a few stops but would drop off eventually as hard to stick on water resistant material. Next time will bring packet with me!

Saves Space and Looks Nice
These help me save so much space and are extremely convenient for organizing my items by category. On shorter trips I use the largest one for clothes, the middle one for toiletries/makeup and the smallest one for electronics and chargers. It's easy to see what the contents are and really saves so much space in my backpack. If I need something, it's so easy to pull one of these out and get exactly what I need without making a mess. The see-through part is completely covered - the outside is like a netted mesh but on the inside, it is covered in plastic. I'm excited to use these on a trip abroad soon!

Don't Stress, Compress!
I could not wait to get this product in the mail to try it out!! These guys were kind enough to give me a discount on these awesome bags so I could take a look for myself and see if it really works! And truth be told it's pretty impressive!! At first glance I was a little disappointed thinking there's no way I could put much at all in these bags. So I put them to the test, as shown in the pictures I've included. In just the largest bag I attempted to put the following: Two pairs of jeans, an oversized pair of sweat pants, a nice top, a pair of very heavy winter fleece pajamas, and a zip up hoodie. And looking at my pile of clothes and looking at the bag it just doesn't seem possible. So I began to pack. I actually was able to fit all the clothes in the biggest bag, but I was not able to get it to compress with the zipper. I removed the zip up hoodie and tried again and was able to fully zip all the zippers I needed to close and compress the bag perfectly! That's pretty impressive to me! Especially with the actual size of these bags! I believe I could easily pack a weeks worth with extras in the largest bag for my infant son easily! Or if you were going away only for a couple nights the largest bag and middle sized bag could easily fit the clothes you would need to take with you. And you'd still have an extra bag that you could store your socks and undergarments in! They're made from a nice quality material that doesn't seem as if it would easily rip or tear. And the mesh and see through part on the front is very nice to help you remember what is in each bag. The zippers are very durable as when I tried to compress the entire lot of clothes I really did some tugging and pulling to try to make it work! They are made from a very light weight material that hardly adds any weight to what your clothes alone would weigh. Though these probably wouldn't be the greatest to try to put a suit into, slacks and nice shirts would be well kept in these bags for sure! These three bags definitely make me want to see what the other options that they have available are capable of doing!
