Compression Cube Set

Ces cubes de compression sont efficaces. Je suis toujours impressionné par la quantité de linge que je peux y mettre et compacter. Perso, je les utilise avec un sac Farpoint 40L Travel Pack d’Osprey. Bien qu’ils ne soient pas forcément parfaitement adaptés à ce sac à mon goût, le gain de place qu’ils offrent reste énorme. A mon avis, on peut y mettre soit deux cubes moyens, soit un moyen et un petit. Personnellement, je préfère cette dernière configuration, car cela me laisse de la place pour ma trousse de toilette. J’ai déjà bien rempli certains cubes plusieurs fois en pensant que ça ne passerait pas, mais au final, ça fonctionne toujours. La construction me semble solide, même si je ne les ai utilisés qu’une dizaine de fois pour le moment.

Bra för pengarna. Jag saknar en större variant.

I recently used the larger packing cube for a short weekend trip, I was able to fit so much into the large cube, I didn't even get to use the smaller cube. I packed: four underwear, five shorts (one gym short, one swim trunk, and three regular shorts), five t-shirts, and three pair of socks in the large cube. The pack swallowed it all and compressed without the slightest hint of fussing - I think I could have put a bit more in the pack, to be honest. The gussets on the corners of the cube are a fantastic add and really go a long way to making the closure/compression process easy as pie. The clamshell opening makes packing a snap, whether you roll or flat-fold your clothing. The zips are big and chunky and provide confidence that they won't pop open, should you get a little overzealous with your packing. They're also pretty sharp looking, in typical Thule fashion. The semi-transparent material isn't a bother to me, but I can see how it would bother some folks. It certainly makes identifying your contents easier, especially if you share packing cubes and luggage. Compared to my Tripped packing cubes, these are miles better. They're way more expensive, but I'd say worth it. The design of the Thule packs are far better. The clamshell opening makes for easier packing versus the 3/4 zip of the Tripped cubes. The Tripped cubes also do not have any gusseting, so compressing the cube is much more of a fuss, when you're at the capacity limit. Once you do get the Tripped cube compressed, it's just the edges that are compressed and the center of the cube is bulging, because all the contents have been mushed to the center, so the compression zips can close. So, yes, it's "compressed," but the pack is bulging in the middle so it's kind of worthless. The Tripped cubes are marginally lighter, but not noticeable. All-in-all, these are absolutely fantastic cubes and hold considerably more than they look like they would. A solid purchase.

Nog niet echt kunnen testen op een reis, voorlopig voldoet het aan al mijn verwachtingen wat ik er van verwacht

Does what it is meant to well. The gussets on the corners allow the clothes to not be fully squished and badly wrinkle when compressed. The translucent material is neat also. The zippers are good quality and the two sizes are perfect for separating innerwear from other things. It's not the cheapest option and I wish the branding was a bit more subtle but I will buy it again if needed.
