The Best Packing Cubes

In your travels, as in life overall, a bit of organization up front can save you time and reduce frustration down the road.

After considering and testing 27 packing cubes over the last five years, we’ve chosen four to suit different kinds of travelers: a set of packing cubes for most people, a lightweight set for ultralight packers, a set of compression cubes for heavy packers, and a cube made of upcycled materials for waste-conscious travelers.
