Gonex Compression Packing Cubes for Luggage, 6 Set Expandable Travel Organizers with Dual Zippers

As a frequent flyer who hadn't checked a bag in decades, I recently went on a 2-wk vacation (inc destination wedding) that required packing more than would fit in my carry on. After getting fed up with packing cube reviews (they're all the same), I picked these for one dumb reason — the pattern coordinated with my new mustard suitcase. It ended up being a better choice than I could've imagined. PROS: held much more than expected; lightweight, super-rugged parachute material; excellent construction and GREAT zippers that reliably maintained compression and kept everything contained when my suitcase bounced and burst open on the tarmac. CONS: I was able to get so much in these cubes that my ultralight suitcase was overpacked, overweight, and (eye roll) the zipper eventually blew; no-mesh construction is a trade off — you can't see at a glance what's inside, but they won't rip and are less apt to fail at the seams.
