Customer Reviews Eagle Creek Pack-It™ Specter Cube Set

These packing cubes are great. They are so useful to keep your stuff organized, especially if you're packing a backpack that can get messy pretty quickly when traveling. I like these because they are somewhat see-through so they make it easy to find what you're looking for without unpacking or opening everything. They're also super lightweight, but durable. And even though they're thin, you can put dirty laundry in them without smells escaping. These are a must-have for me when traveling.

My travel needs- I take frequent weekend trips with my family of four (kids age 6 and 4) and everyone takes their own suitcase because packing everything in one suitcase gets too disorganized. These gems solve the problem of too many bags and the disorganized huge bag. Everyone gets a different color and we pack everything in one bag. Pros- lightweight and can hold a good amount, great for dirty laundry Cons- no breathable mesh, not see through Best uses- needing to travel light, backpacking I also purchased the regular eagle creek ones and do prefer those for clothes because they are more structured, have breathable mesh and can be placed in drawers at a hotel instead of unpacking. Personally, I like these bags to throw into a carry on and hold extra layers or extra clothes for the kids. I also use them to house the kids airplane travel activities in my carry on. I prefer these to the compression bags and I do like the clean / dirty bag as well though these are more versatile in my opinion. I plan on using these in backpacks and soft unstructured bags, whereas I would use the regular mesh ones in my carry on sized suitcase for my clothes. Hope this helps.

I put my towel, swimsuit, washcloth, and toiletries in the large bag; googles, lock, pool pass, and cap in the small one. These go very well from poolside to shower. The handle makes it super-convenient to so, because I can keep these items separate while showering. It saves me a trip back and forth to the locker, which in some gyms can mean leaving a trail of water along the way. So, see, you've helped others too with this great design. I actually bought these to replace my dry bags of another brand, which are amazing but a little heavier and fussier. The light fabric is very nice for this purpose. I use the medium-sized bag to contain a hairbrush, a few lipsticks and lotion in the bucket between my seats in the car. I works well, but I think a heavier weight might be better in that situation. Time will tell.

I travel frequently for work and I find that I keep everything short of the kitchen sink in my suitcase. This has made for a jumbled mess and an extremely heavy bag. Late one night I started reading some blogs by Rick Steves on packing. Eagle Creek products came up on his blog and in the comments. After checking out some videos and reader comments, I purchased this set. I love the pack-it board and the bags for organization. It is nice to finally have a plan for what needs to go where in my suitcase. The one drawback I see, these organizers and Eagle Creek could become addictive.

I used to use compression bags. When they gave up, I used ziplock bags but they don't work so great. For my vacation last week, I used these and I can't tell you what a difference they made. I liked them so much I ordered another set and a single small one. I was able to pack everything in two large bags and one small one. Found I didn't need the medium. I used the other small ones for various chargers and a small first aid kit. The cubes fit so nicely in my carry-on leaving room for other essentials. Just roll your clothes and put them in. You will be amazed. I ordered them in purple and another set in orange.

Thought they were smaller in size than the pictures showed on line. But it worked fine as my packing started.

Great for organizing your stuff while away from home. Think: drawers!

Pack separate cubes for socks , underwear, t-shirts etc.

I highly recommend these cubes. I have used them in the past and worked great!

Organizing made simple using these products - can compartmentalize each part of my trip.

I vewant to travel simply with just one suitcase and these products are the key! I am going on a month long trip with my one 26" Eagle Creek suitcase and everything I need will now fit in no problem. I even have room to spare! I will be in 3 different climates! Thanks Eagle Creek. I will be a life long fan. When I got the first package I thought "Oh no" too small but I started practice packing and wow what a revelation.

Makes packing the suite case easy and does make more space available.

Travel

I can't imagine how I traveled without these in the past. It has kept me so organized.

I love these! I use them for all travel to keep my things orderly. It helps to fit more into the suitcase, and to keep things neat. I often use them to separate items (pants in one, shirts in another, socks / underwear in another, etc.), or if it's a short trip, I use the larger one to put all my clothes in, separate and neat from my "stuff". Because they offer light compression, you can fit a LOT more into the same amount of space than you could just by folding. These are not true compression sacks, but if you stuff them full, they zip around quite a bit more than you would think. I got one set about a year ago as a gift, and have absolutely fallen in love with them. I ordered this second set because I found that I wanted a second of each size so I would have more for use in larger bags (not just carry-on size), and also I will use them to separate dirty from clean as the end of the trip approaches. Some folks don't like that the top doesn't zip around three sides like the original cubes, because then they feel you can't reach things at the bottom as easily as when you can zip the top all the way around like a suitcase, with the bottom as the broad side. I don't find this to be a problem. The zip goes around two sides, which I think is a feature, not a bug. If you fold things right and stack them from top to bottom, viewing the bottom as the narrow side like a box of cereal, you can easily see things and fish out something from the bottom as needed. In addition, having only two sides unzip offers better compression. I have never had a problem fishing things out without repacking entirely, so I'm not sure why this is a problem for some. You just need to view the bottom as the narrow edge, rather than the broad side. I also love that you can stand them up in a backpack, and fish things out without taking the packs out! The thin nylon material is strong and slippery, you can stuff several in a small space and pull out the one you need easily without unpacking. LOVE!!

Great organizers.

I am traveling to Europe for three weeks with a back pack and needed a way to keep everything organized with an easy in/out system for packing as we will be moving every few days.

This was my first time using cubes. I got the recommendation from a friend who swears by them and I can see why. These made packing easy and I found it so simple to figure out what was inside each one. No more hunting thru drawers or suitcases to find that shirt or sock!

Excellent execution of design. Exactly as advertised.

very useful and durable

I use the Eagle Creek organization cubes on all my trips. They are great and I plan to order some for gifts.

I will be using this product when I go traveling this month. I like how concise it is!

Love the smart design - really keeps your luggage organized!

My family gave me a set for Mothers Day and I was so impressed after my fist 6 weeks of use I ordered another set for myself. I am a tour director and just came off a 10 week tour. A week later I am leaving on a 3 week family trip after which I will have one week at home and then another 3 week family trip. I live out of a suitcase frequently. I think these are the greatest addition to suitcase organization ever. Think I will get even one more set.

I never travel without my small/medium Pack-It Cubes, but had never used the Full Cubes before. Then on a recent trip to Cuba my uber-organized friend showed me how great they are! She had packed complete outfits together in full-size cubes. What a time saver! No hunting for the top that goes with the bottoms, no running back and forth from the bathroom to the suitcase for something you forgot. I'm a total Cube packer now!
