The set comes with three sizes of cubes - extra-small, small, and medium - with the medium the right size for shirts and shorts, and the smaller ones ideal for underwear and socks, according to Kamer. An Eagle Creek “not only compartmentalizes your luggage but helps you cram whatever’s inside it into an incredibly small, predetermined place too,” Kamer says. Kamer calls them “The Russian nesting doll of luggage,” which is essentially “an empty, square bag with a zipper” - simple but effective. We’ve heard great things about the packing cubes from Eagle Creek since they were first recommended to us in 2018. Sizes: Extra-small (7.5 x 4.5 x 2.5”) Small (10 x 7 x 3”) Medium (14 x 10 x 3”) | Non-compression | Not waterproof Once your cubes are filled, “things just fit around each other in the bag perfectly.” To help you find the right packing cubes for your trip (and packing style), we pulled in recommendations from experts, frequent fliers, and Strategist staff. “Cubes kind of work like mini-compression sacks,” says Aly Simmons, an operations partner at REI. “By the second or third time you use them, you’ll already know exactly what fits where and how much of it you can take with you - down to the very last sock.” And they’re not just great for organization: Packing cubes can help you fit more inside your luggage. With packing cubes, “all of a sudden everything has its place before you’ve even packed it,” says editor and self-proclaimed overpacker Foster Kamer. They make travel less chaotic (at least as far as your luggage is concerned). In a world without packing cubes, we’d probably all be constantly piling items from one end of a suitcase to the other, searching for that one T-shirt or pair of socks.
