Thule Compression Cube - Size Medium

I purchased six Thule compression cubes for a three-week international trip, and I couldn't be more impressed. These cubes performed exceptionally well, even under the pressure of being overstuffed. The zipper was sturdy and didn’t give out, a big relief considering how much I packed into each cube. I’ve compared these to top brands like Eagle Creek and some cheaper alternatives, but none matched Thule in fabric quality and compression effectiveness. Made from 100D nylon, these cubes have a strong, resilient material that is both durable and water-resistant. The “100D” refers to the denier, a measurement of fabric thickness, and in this case, the Thule cubes strike a perfect balance between durability and lightness. The fabric’s strength really stood out during my trip. One of the best features was how perfectly the cubes fit into my Thule Charm 70L bag. I was able to fit four fully packed cubes and still had room for shoes and a cosmetic bag at the top and sides, maximizing every inch of space. These cubes are on the pricier side, but they’re worth every penny. In my experience, no cheaper alternative has come close in terms of compression ability and overall quality.

I own at least 3 different types of packing cubes and travel about once a month. The Thule packing cubes are, by far, the best packing cubes. In fact, I went back and purchased more and will be giving away my non-Thule bags. These are so much easier to close than all the others I’ve tried. They hold much more than I anticipated, compress well, are easy to open and close (even when stuffed full) and are extremely well built. I expect these will last many years. Other sets have been on sale and that’s where I started, but I had to wrestle to close a full bag (sometimes space really matters). My hands aren’t the strongest, but these zip close, and compress, like a dream. Packing tasks made easier and more efficient means I highly recommend these packing cubes. 10/10

These compression bags are excellent quality and durable at a very fair price. Makes packing for travel very convenient and compact.

LOVE these packing cubes. They hold so much, and they compress right down. They are made out of quality materials, and I could not be happier. I even think I will be ordering more. I've used them 4 times and they look good as new.

I have used packing cubes before, but not compression cubes. The 'packing' ones turned out to be pretty useless because I had better ways of bundling stuff in suitcases. These compression packs, though, are pretty great. The best size depends a lot on the trip. I found that the two sizes I have these in were both handy on my last trip. What I do usually is roll items up so the pack is pretty full, then zip closed, then do the compression zip. If I've done it right, the compression zip can be a bit of work. The zippers are strong though and when you get it zipped down, the contents are quite compressed. These seem well made and I expect to get a good number of trips out of them before they wear out.

I have a couple of cheaper brand compression cubes including Gonex and Suited Nomad (both of which are of similar quality) but the Thule one is much stronger as it ought to be at the higher price point. The zippers are quality items too and zip easily. I also own Eagle Creek Spectre compression cubes and the big difference between them and the Thule is that the Thule is more structured and made of a heavier weight fabric. I consider Thule and Eagle Creek are the best brands that are readily available and are similarly well made and strong but the Thule feels like it will last forever but it is heavier if this matters.. The Eagle Creek will undoubtedly last too but i feel its like comparing a winter weight jacket with a summer weight one. If you're not familiar with packing cubes and compression ones in particular they are an efficient means of packing so that you can put things like underwear, socks and shirts etc in cubes which makes it easy if you are moving around. Whilst you can cram stuff into them unless they are fairly stiff material you are not going to gain much extra storage. Now compression offers a further refinement in taking a standard cube and by using a zipper around the middle of the bag to compress the items within and save more space. When some people say the compression doesn't help much they are invariably trying to compress items that won't squish down like cotton button-up shirts or shorts but if you use them to compress soft materials like t-shirts or sweatshirts they work really well. An obvious point but the weight will not change with compression!

Sturdy. I can fit 2 mediums in my backpack. I love them

I keep purchasing more of these-they are that incredible. They hold SO MUCH! I can't travel without them now. The key feature is the compression-you can load in several pairs (usually I'll put in 5-6) of pants and jeans and then zip it closed, then zip it compressed. I can fit 4-5 of these medium size in my small carry on suitcase. I've purchased other brands and they don't compress as much or take up too much space. The size of these is also key-they fit the carry on suitcase beautifully, so there is no wasted space.

These packing cubes are elite. Strong, durable, you can keep adding things and the zip just closes.

Non fanno miracoli ma aiutano parecchio a ridurre il volume e ad organizzare gli spazi. Consigliato.

Mi ha aiutato a risparmiare un sacco di spazio in valigia

Jolies, qualitatives, très pratiques

Works well, quality of material ans zippers is good, no complains. May be just bit overpriced... Overall I can recommend it, I like the brand
