Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Starter Set, White/Strobe - One Size

My sister in law has used these for years and I always felt that I have my own system and didn't need these. I am now packing for Africa and have to pack in a duffle bag, which is never ideal to prevent wrinkles, and a weight limit. I decided to finally go with her recommendation and give these a try. Wow. I am in love. Especially with the shirt folder. The set is incredibly light weight so I don't have to worry about it adding extra weight to my limit. The smaller bags will hold rolled items that I can organize by use like undergarments in the very smallest and rolled t-shirts, etc in the mid-sized bag. Bear in mind that these are NOT compression cubes! The shirt folder is ingenious. It includes a board with instructions for how to fold your shirts precisely to fit and to avoid wrinkles. You then use the board when you arrive to slip between layers to expose the shirt you want to wear without disturbing the others above and below. I may never do without this again, even when packing in my regular suitcase.

I purchased this 3-piece Specter Starter Set along with a 2-piece set of TRIPPED compression cubes for my recent 16-day coach tour of Scotland and Ireland. I had never used packing cubes of any kind before and wanted a variety. I ended up loving all 5 pieces. One of my favorites was the Eagle Creek folder, which was the perfect size for 5 pairs of pants. I hadn't thought I could fit that many in my luggage, but this was such an efficient way of packing that they took up way less room than fewer pairs had taken on previous trips. These cubes were especially great since we stayed at 9 different hotels, often arriving late and leaving early. It was wonderful to pull out just whichever units I needed (I organized them by category). Using these cubes made my initial packing much easier also, since it broke it down into small tasks (just pack the pants now, just pack the tops, etc.). The cubes themselves didn't seem to take any extra room, and being so organized helped me fit more into my luggage and access it all much more easily. I am so glad a friend recommended these; they made my trip immeasurably easier. I watched some videos on packing these (including the folder), and they were very helpful. Overall I thought the compression cubes were slightly better, and I might get more of those--or possibly a different size of the amazing folder.

Been wanting to get some packing cubes for a while now and finally found a set to try. The starter set worked great for what I needed, helping me stay organized on a recent week long trip. The shirt locker/folding board worked out pretty well, I think I packed up 6 long sleeve button up shirts without any issue and they came out mostly wrinkle free. The large cube was great for loading up a few changes of clothes to stash in my carry-on backpack, and worked out great to use on a day trip of camping. Ended up using the small cube to keep all of our cords/cables/baby monitor gear packed up in one place. I think eventually I'll expand the set and get a few more cubes once I determine what sizes will work best for me. Will also likely opt for another color to further aid in the organization. This was a great buy though, these are very well made and extremely light, definitely happy with the purchase.

I love the Eagle Creek packing cubes and folded clothing unit. I have older cubes that zip 3/4 of the way around so it'll be interesting to see how these work zipping less of the way. I've knocked off a star due to the zippers not going around more than they used to. I like to unzip my older cubes and set them directly in the drawer. All the items inside are easily seen. This newer version makes it a bit more challenging. Hopefully I find a work around quickly with them. I bought this for the "envelope" looking piece for my mom since I love traveling with mine so much. The insert works wonders in helping fold shirts/dresses and pants to fit a lot into the carrying case. I love how lightweight each item is so I stay neat and tidy in my suitcase with minimal added weight. Some cubes can be stiff and heavy. These are not!

I own and regularly use numerous Eagle Creek packing cubes and compression cubes. I wanted to purchase the extra large envelope so I purchased the set which included the envelope and two additional cubes. First, the zippers on the cubes are great. Have used my cubes routinely for several years without issues…even when packed extra full. I especially liked the older version that opened wider but find the newer ones work well. The extra large envelope was perfect for packing a formal length dress wrinkle free. I did not have to check an extra long garment bag.

I've been ogling these for years but couldn't justify the expense. That is until a recent head injury made being organized during travel a necessity instead of a luxury. I also bought the tube cube and sac set, and together these have revolutionized the way I pack and use my bags. Simply put: there's no more rummaging through roll-ons, trying to remember where you put that particular pair of socks or underwear. Also, the variety of sizes lets you tailor your packing style to the precise needs of the exact trip you happen to be going on (as opposed to the usual, "just make it all fit"). Bizarrely, despite clearly being additions to your suitcase, these Pack It bags actually cut down on the use of space in your bag, letting you pack more (if you need). Or - if you pack less - it's all in bags, so it won't slide around and get jumbled in transit! Really... these bags are awesome enough to use that I almost (almost) wish I'd had the excuse to buy them sooner.

these packing cubes are the best. period. way better then other brands I tried. super lightweight and very sturdy.

Je n'ai rien à reprocher à la qualité de fabrication du produit. Mais je pensais que ce produit allait compacter mes affaires pour prendre moins de place dans la valise. Mais à part la grande pochette qui le fait un peu, les 2 autres pochettes ne le font pas.

Awesome products. We travelled to Europe for 2 weeks with only carry on luggage. These really help to pack a lot more and keep it organized.

These are NOT compression cubes. They are ordinary packing cubes. Compression cubes have a second zip that (as the name implies) compresses things further after you use the first one to close the cube. Disappointed to see this on Amazon.

Great item! Perfect for keeping clothes organized... I recommend to all travelers out there!
