Customer Reviews Eagle Creek Pack-It™ Specter Compression Cube Set

Makes my packing a breeze. My suitcase is now organized for my two week trip to Ireland and London. I LOVE these space savers and organizers. I especially love it that they are lightweight.

We have been using Eagle Creek bags for tears. We have worn out, thankfully, their older, heavier bags. Now we use their newer, lighter, almost indestructible models. This review is about their compression cubes. The airlines are lowering the weight allowances every year, so we had to go,lighter, sort of. We are also photographers and are not quite ready to give up our DSLRs. The compression cubes allow me pack lightweight underwear. I use different colors for different items so I can identify which I need to use and what to put in our hotel dressers. We also carry a few spare compression cubes for dirty laundry. Color coding allows me to not make a mistake. One very important zipper closing technique. Put your ring finger under the zipper as you close the cube. That way you won't catch the zipper on the cloth. Follow it all the way round and you will be surprised at how much compression is achieved. We also wash the cubes in delicate clothes bags so the do not accumulate odors.

I used these two for socks, underwear, and some light turtlenecks that I wear under sweaters. I love that they compacted so well, and that I didn't have to uncompact them to get to the interior. Along with the starter set (for packing shirts and sweaters, and two other cubes), I was able to pack for three weeks in Southern Spain and Morocco in a 23" suitcase. This included clothes for temperatures in range from 50s to mid 70s. There were four of us in a small European SUV, and being able to pack in a smaller bag was a plus. I'm now a convert. Came home, emptied them out, repacked some of them into a duffle bag to go a day later to The Keys for a week.

The Compression Cube Set was a gift to me for a trip my family and I went on but I have found that these can be used for so much more. We live in an area that we have different clothes for Winter and Summer so in the Fall and Spring I pack and un-pack the items for the Seasons. These have turned out to be so much better than plastic boxes or those so called compression pack away systems you suck the air out of with your vaccuum. These look good, are high quality and do what they are supposed to. I am now using them for more than just our seasonal clothing also. They are WONDERFUL for household organization with bedding, and so much more! I could go on for a good hour going through what I am using them for, but won't in this review. You get the point, I love them! And I highly recommend them for travel and home!

If I were to purchase again I would buy different colors so I could easily remember what is in each pack.

Traveling without them is definitely not an option. Especially today that you have a lot of space and weight restrictions. These items are definitely a must

I use it to travel to Europe, Especially good when small hotel rooms and closets are too small. No need to unpack

I read in some reviews that people complained that the zipper gets caught.. However, if you run a finger between the fabric and the zipper as you are closing the bag you will solve the issue. The compression sacs are very handy. I did purchase the blue ones and just ordered more in the white so I could see the continents better.

These really helped save space in our luggage, and kept the items organized and neater than if I had rolled them!

My husband works for UPS and loves these "pack it" cubes for travel! There is no one better than a UPS person for packing and now he can pack even more!

I have used compression bags in the past and I have not been impressed with them. I then ordered Eagle Creeks in orange, green and beet red . I liked how I was able to readily identify items in each of the colored bags. I also like the idea how the bags compress. The bags fit beautifully in carry on luggage and are well constructed. The only con I have is: It would be great if the zipper went entirely around the bag - it would make the compression bags easier to pack. I still highly recommend this product.

Easy to see, find and use. Helps with organization and not forgetting anything.

Use these to pack my carry on (the only bag I'll take). I have several of these and can usually fit enough items in my carry on for a ten day trip (leisure trip to a warm climate. No bulky clothes). Great product.

I loved that i didn't have to unpack the items in the larger bag. I just took things out as needed. The smaller bag was used for pill boxes, and hair brush, along with other small items. It was nice to be able to hang it on a high hook in the bathroom, away for little children's hands and easy to access when needed. I am sure I will be purchasing more in the future. My sister travels all the time and swears by your products. That is how I was introduced to you.

I love how you can separate items in the suitcase and find them easily. So light it doesn't add any additional weight.

I have a medium sized carry on suitcase that I've had troubles fitting everything I need for a 4 day business trip. I bought two compression cube sets and used 3 of the four bags along with the Pack-it Folder and I had room to spare for a recent 4 night trip. I'm looking forward to a 3 week family trip with these sets as we are only taking carry-on bags for the entire trip and I'll need the room.

These bags are great for packing and everyday use. I compress my down jacket in one and put it in my carry on And carry my cap and gloves in a smaller one. We use every type of these light weight bags and find that they make great gifts

I first read about these on Smart Travelers and was doubtful about their functions. I bought a set of two just to see how they work. On a recent trip to China, I was able to pack all my clothes in the large one (I travel light, with most lightweight wrinkly stuff). The small one is less useful for me so I used it to pack my husband's socks and underwear. I liked them so much I'm ordering one more set. They're not vacuum bags so they can't take as much; however, they're very handy on the road when you don't have a vacuum to suck out the air. Also, do not cram too much in them; they do have a limit for their capacity. One reviewer complained that the seams pulled apart after one use, which, based on my experience, could be a result of overstuffing.

I love these. They organize my suitcase so well! And at the destination it's easy to keep everything neat and clean: before I had those, after 2 days my stuff was all mixed up in a pile, it was awful. Now everything is sorted out, looking neat and easy to find. This will be my Christmas present for all the kids!!

The compression bags are more for organization than actual compression. Did notice that if items were rolled and then put in the bags, they functioned better. Not sure they helped us pack more from a "compression" perspective, but they certainly helped us organize. My son & daughter in law use them for packing clothes for a specific day i.e. What they were going to wear on each day of a trip. This may be a better application than packing T-shirts in one, underwear & socks in one, etc. Overall I was pleased with concept and will consider purchasing additional bags so I can adapt the method my kids use. One day, one bag. I suspect this alone helps you minimalize what you actually need to take with you.

Just okay. Prefer the older "original" version of the cubes. These just seem to flimsy to do much with them, but I'll give them a shot. Cool concept, though.

I need to be organized when I travel, which is quite often. I only use a carry-on even for extended trips and this Eagle Creek cube set is perfect for keeping things organized. The handles are great for easy access and hanging.

These only have one flaw. The red Eagle Creek logo label interferes with zipping and unzipping the bag, so I cut the labels off. They could have put the logo label anywhere else on the bag and it would have been fine.

I easily rolled several pairs of shorts into the large one and compressed it- not sure how much it compressed.

My problem was delivery. I ordered it 12-20-15 with a 2 day shipping. I received an email saying it had been shipped on 12-23-15. A week after christmas when it hadn't arrive I replied to the shipping email asking when to expect it. I received no reply. A week after my email I called the company (because the UPS said it hadn't been received) to find out that they didn't know where is was. It took 2 days for someone to contact me back to tell me that they still didn't know where it was, but they were reshipping my package. Very unhappy with this. I needed for a gift for 1-1-16 and it didn't drive in time.
