Shacke 5 Set Packing Cubes for Travel with Laundry Bag (Gentlemen's Blue)

Item arrived in a very timely manner and was packaged nicely. Packing cubes are of great quality, sturdy and easy to place items in and zip up! I ordered medium but would suggest larger size if you have bulky items to pack - sweatshirts, coats, etc. Easy to organize suitcase. Plan on ordering more. Great value.

Normally I am pretty quick with reviews. I either like the product or I don't. I have now had the Shacke Pak for a little over two weeks and have really started to put them through their paces. A little about me. I travel somewhere around 100,000 miles per year. That's over 100 flights, a ton of car rentals, in and out of hotels. I wear luggage out! A computer bag typically lasts me 6 to 9 months. Even really expensive carry-on suitcases and packing cubes wear out after two years. I have been using another very well respected and recognized name (Eagle Creek) for the past 4 years, but they are now reaching the end of their life. So, I started looking for a replacement. I naturally went right for the Eagle Creek, but, saw some reviews on the Shacke Pak and felt like I wanted to give them a try. Because I have had so much experience with travel items, I can tell within a week how a bag or travel item is going to do. My new Shacke Pak……. I have a solid feeling that it is going to be with me a long time! This past week, I took the three smallest cubes with me on a four day trip to the Midwest. I went carry-on, so they were stuffed to limits. I have to say..... they stuff well! Having use packing folders for the past few years, I was not expecting them to hold as much or condense as much as what I could get into my Eagle Creek packing folder. I also was convinced that I would not like the cube as much as the folding pack. I was wrong. They held just as much and they held everything well. The dimensions of each packing cube are just about perfect. There are four cubes in the pack, small, medium, large and extra-large. My carry-on is on the smaller size, so I skipped using the extra-large. In the large, I put in two dress pants, three dress shirts, and a polo. I saved the medium for my laundry as I used clothes (each night in a new hotel means I had to pack laundry into the same bag and I did not want my dirty clothes touching clean clothes). In the small, I put 4 pairs of socks, a t-shirt, four pair of underwear and pair of shorts and a work-out shirt. All fit nice. I tossed the packing cubes in my bag and still had room for my suit coat to lay across the top and my winter jacket shoved in too. All fit! Best part...... wrinkles were minimal. Zippers and stitching are top quality. The mesh 'window' is nice. I like that the 'window' is small and a majority of the bag is the stronger and heavy-duty material. That helps it hold it's shape better in my bag and also makes packing items in the pak easier. I got the black and blue... really like the look. So what does this all really mean? It means if you want advice from someone who has over a million flight miles, a hundred nights in a hotel a year, and who has seen almost every inch of the globe and knows how to pack..... buy these cubes! I am super picky about the organization of my things when I travel. I go carry on (I can go ten days in a carry-on bag) so getting everything I need into a small bag, in a way that I can get to my clothes easily without having to unpack and repack everyday is important to me. I am the person who will spend two weeks moving items from one pocket in a suitcase to another just to maximize space and convenience. I can tell you, I have gone through dozens of suitcases, half a dozen folders and cubes, more than a few dozen briefcases and computer bags.....the Shacke Pak is one of the best investments I have made in travel products. I will be purchasing a set for each member of my team as I know they will appreciate them as much as I do! I have a new name for packing cubes. Shacke Pak. Better quality, better price, and more effective than the other big named cubes and folders. FYI - - I researched the company and the product for many weeks leading up to the purchase..... If you do your homework, you will find the heavy duty travelers (those who really know and use travel products extensively) all have great things to say about the company and the Shacke Pak.

This set of packing cubes worked great for a recent international trip and kept my clothes organized, protected, and easy to pack. My first attempt to pack everything by rolling and stuffing to the max made me think I purchased the wrong item until I watched some videos around correct usage and then they were amazing. The assortment of sizes is useful for different sized suitcases, but I found they worked best with a 26" hard case. I was able to "Tetris" all of the cubes with a small space remaining that was perfect for a pair of shoes (in the included shoe bag of course). They don't compress and I can't speak to the long-term durability yet, but they are super light and worked well for my trip and the additional bags for shoes and laundry were perfect.

I don't usually write reviews as soon as I open a product, but in the case of my new Shacke Pak packing cubes, I decided to just go ahead and do it. First impression: I love them! The color is beautiful, they appear to be very well-made, the zippers have cool pull covers on them, the mesh windows are great for seeing what is packed inside, and the little black handle for carrying is a nice touch. These are my first packing cubes, so I have nothing to compare them to, but my husband has been using cubes from eBags for years, and said that my new ones appear equal in quality. Even the literature that came with, is nice and thoughtful. They provide you with a nice sturdy almost-laminated "Quick Start Guide" with tips on how to use your new cubes to pack for 3 days, 5 days, and 10 days. Also they invite you to watch their tutorial videos and an interactive trip planner provided on their website. Very nice, and so rare these days. (I do question their claim that you need to register online, in order to secure your product warranty. I stopped registering for warranties years ago unless it's a major purchase, because I found that it was just an excuse for these companies to get your email address and start sending you spam. According to all legal authorities, you don't have to register for any product warranty to be in effect. I'll take my chances on a $40 purchase!) I realize, however, that they still need to stand the test of time. I read a 1-star review here that said they pretty much died by hand-washing in cold water, and that may be true. But honestly, I see no reason at all to wash them right off the bat. That reviewer said they smelled "plasticky," but I smell nothing at all. Maybe the slightest hint of new plastic smell, but only if you really stick your nose on them and try hard to smell something. And this is coming from someone who is extremely sensitive to scents. I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and I can smell chemicals a mile away. My 8 new bags are sitting on the floor here, right next to my desk... I can't smell a thing, even though they are only about 2' away from me. Believe me, if I smelled anything obnoxious, they would be going back. So I don't see the need to wash these anytime soon, except maybe the laundry bag after each use (which I didn't even realize I was getting, so thank you!). For years, my husband has been trying to convince me of the virtues of these packing cubes. He travels for business, and I'm always amazed at the small "overhead bin" bag that he brings on week-long trips. Even accounting for sex differences in luggage requirements, it seemed to me that he was traveling unusually "light," but he always attributed it to the great organization he achieves in his packing, via cubes After going away recently for a girls' weekend, I decided that my inefficient packing habits just have to change for my next trip, which is in August. I get to my hotel on Friday afternoon, after packing in what I thought was a thorough and efficient manner. We were slightly rushed because we were starving, and I made an attempt to quickly find another belt to wear, and a change of top. Of course, no matter how organized I think I am, I can never find the one thing I need most, and end up rifling through my entire suitcase to find it... and bye, bye organization! (Not to mention being panic stricken over having left my jacket in the back seat of my husband's SUV when he dropped me off at the hotel with my girlfriend, after picking her up at the airport... which meant that I had to rifle even harder to find an extra layer to wear, once I discovered that). The rest of the weekend, I felt like a total disorganized mess, and I vowed then and there that I'd never travel again without cubes. So I'm really looking forward to my first experience with them. I also purchased one especially made for devices etc. It was so difficult figuring out where I packed all the little cords, my power bank, adaptors... It felt like I spent half the weekend searching for stuff!! So I bought this 4-pack and the "slim" 4 pack in the same color... which should take care of all my packing needs. I debated about the slim ones because some people really disliked how small they are, but I disagree with them. I think these slim ones are just perfect for small items such as bras, panties, hair ties, socks, belts, scarves, bathing suits, slips, nylons, etc. In fact, they came with a list of suggested uses which are spot-on. You could fill one with power bars if you are going on a long plane trip, and keep your family from starving to death if you get stuck on the tarmac. You could use one for sandals and flip flops. I don't find them particularly small, and I'm sure they will come in handy! (Maybe if they were the ONLY ones you bought, they might be too small and a bad purchase. But as a supplement to the larger set, they are just perfect.)

The packing cubes are great for packing into a carryon and keeping everyone organized. I was able to pack more things in my carry on bag than without using cubes. I deducted one star because of fraying on inside seams that left lots of long threads hanging out or needing to be cut.

I purchased 2 sets of these packing cubes because my family is selling our house and going to travel full time for a little while. My goal is to keep everything organized and I initially thought I was going to be needing 2 of the XL cubes (1 of which comes in a set). However once I opened the packs, and started packing the XL cube, I realized just how much you can actually fit in that thing, and it gets heavy very quickly. I first purchased OlarHike 6 set of packing cubes. When trying to open one of the cubes, the zipper just didn't want to slide. Not a promising start before it's packed with anything. I returned them, in hopes these cubes were slightly better quality for 1 less cube in the pack. And WOW! The zippers on these things are wonderful!! I have REI brand packing cubes from ages ago and the zippers on this set rival that of the REI brand, I'm so impressed. They're beefy and seem like they will hold up over time and use. I already have quite a few of them packed and it's getting me excited to hit the road! I purchased the light blue color and it's so pretty. Maybe not quite as bright as pictured, but I like the color a lot. The construction is great, the seams looks sturdy and everything looks reinforced. Once packed, the zippers glide closed. The sizes are a good variety, and when I tell you the biggest cube of the lot is big, it's HUGE. I fit 15 pair of shorts (maybe more, I wasn't counting) and just as many tshirts, with room to spare. I may not even end up using that particular cube, because like I said it gets heavy quickly. And I'm trying to downsize not being my entire wardrobe with me. The little laundry bag that comes with is of really high quality material, very durable. Too small for my needs, but I'll be using it for my son's travel toy bin. Keep in mind, these are NOT compression packing cubes. You can fit a lot in them, probably pack them full and not bust the seams. But they do not have a second zipper for compression. What else can I say about these cubes, they're great, and you can't beat the quality and variety for the price. 11/10 would recommend!!

These items were great kept our clothing, separate and easy to get to great stuff.

These are the best packing cubes. Durable and roomy, holds several pieces of clothing. Isthe three sizes are perfect.

Muy convenientes y resistentes. Aunque las instrucciones dicen lavado a mano llevamos años lavándolas en lavadora sin ningún problema. La calidad de manufactura es muy superior a la de otros productos, tanto en costuras como en cremalleras.

It’s a great bag which is sturdy ,looks nice and holds a lot.It is amazing for organizing and overall worth it .

👍

Makes packing really easy and keeps your clothes and accessories neat inside your travel bag. I love having the different sizes so I can organize my things (shirts/pants in the biggest one, underwear/bathing suits/socks in a smaller one, and accessories like makeup, toothpaste, or charging cords, etc. in another one. I also like that it came with a separate bag for dirty laundry, that I can just dump into the laundry machine when I get home. Makes traveling easier and more organized. Quality seems decent - zippers are intact and no tears or anything after a few different trips.

ausgesprochen praktisch. Hat die erste anstrengende Reise gut überstanden. Bin mit der Verarbeitung zufrieden
