Very satisfied
So first off, when I travel (which is usually for a week or less), I rarely unpack my suitcase; I don't start hanging things up or using the dresser drawers. I live out of the suitcase. For my trip last week, I had to pack for cooler weather, which of course means more and heavier clothes, maybe boots, and so on. And with air travel being what it is, especially for us poor folks who travel basic economy and have to pay for the air we breathe, no carry-ons are allowed, we get hit with checked-bag fees and weight limits, etc. Therefore, I was worried that my luggage (one "carry-on" and one "under-seat/personal item"), would be an issue. I normally use Space Bags, which work very well, but the problem is that some of them require a vacuum to suck the air out, so although I could do that at home for the trip out, I knew I wouldn't have access to a vacuum when packing to come back. I considered getting one of those suitcases that becomes a "closet," but they're not cheap (and right now I'm unemployed), and honestly the luggage I have is fine. So I saw these compression organizer bags and decided to try them.There are multiple useful sizes in this bunch, they have a really nice floral design, they have a silky feel, the zippers seem very well made, and I'll jump ahead and tell you that when I got home and ran them thru the washer and dryer, they came out FINE (although the instructions say to hand wash and line dry).In the largest one, I fit the following: a pair of heavy jeans; a pair of sweat pants; 2 pairs of workout-type leggings; 5 T-shirts, a tank top, 2 long-sleeved shirts, one long-sleeved thermal shirt, 4 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of PJs, and a workout resistance band. There may have been a couple other things in there, but the point is, it literally held ALL my clothes for the week. There was no problem closing the regular zipper, or the second zipper that provides the "compression." I put that in quotes because the front of the bag has mesh, so air gets in and out, but it stayed nice and flat. With a little attention, the second (compression) zipper did fine and didn't snag the inside fabric at all, something I had heard someone complain about.In one of the smaller bags, I fit all my undergarments (so, 4 or 5 bras, 6 pairs of panties) with room to spare, and in another I put some toiletries, also with room to spare. I used another bag to put some electronic-type stuff (chargers, cables, night-lights, extension cord, etc), and coming home I used the laundry bag to re-pack all the dirty stuff, which fit quite nicely, just to keep it a little separate from the clean stuff, even though I wash everything once I get home.Going and coming home, I had room to spare in the carry-on suitcase, even with the addition of an umbrella, a pair of sneakers, a travel hairdryer, and a travel pillow, all in the main compartment. I could easily have fit another pair of shoes (or even boots) and more in there. I don't think I could have achieved this with my usual Space Bags. Before Space Bags, I used to "flat pack," but again, unless you organize your stuff in smaller bags (preferably see-through), you are going to be digging thru the entire suitcase to find the item you need. I know there are people who think rolling their clothes is the best way, but the same problem occurs; unless you put your rolled stuff into separate bags, you are going to be digging thru the suitcase to pull out what you need. Note that if you're the kind of person who unpacks on arrival, these might not be as crucial for you.Bottom line, I do think the compression aspect helps, and I do think that this particular brand does a nice job all around in terms of the features and quality as mentioned above. It's a great way to organize things and save space, and the mesh panels are really helpful, to see what's in each bag.

Great for my son’s weekly travel
I recently bought these Gonex Compression Packing Cubes for my 12-year-old son, who alternates weekly between my house and his mother's, and they have been a good addition to his travel routine. These packing cubes have made organizing his school clothes, shoes, jacket, Nintendo Switch case, and personal items a breeze, ensuring everything has its place and is easy to find.The durability of these cubes stands out, especially considering the frequent use by a busy and active pre-teen. They've held up well so far, showing no early signs of wear and tear. The zippers are sturdy and easy for him to use.The compression feature of these cubes is great. It's impressive how much we can fit into each cube, especially his bulkier items like jackets and sneakers, and then compress them down to fit snugly in his luggage bag. This has allowed him to carry all he needs without having to send more bags due to space constraints.The assortment of cube sizes is ideal for his varied items. The larger cubes accommodate his gym clothing, sweater, and jacket, while the smaller ones are perfect for shirts, pants, and socks . The mesh tops are particularly useful, making it easy for him to see where everything is at a glance and helping keep his clothes fresh.These packing cubes have also instilled in him a sense of responsibility and organization. He takes pride in packing his bag now, knowing exactly where each item should go. It's been a great way to teach him about managing his belongings and making his weekly transitions smoother. He also loves the blue!These are a game changer. They keep his luggage organized, make packing and unpacking simple, and are durable enough. I highly recommend them for children’s luggage.

Nice material, but not good for compression
They are really good for organizing clothes and other items. But not so good for compression. They would take a lot of space once on the suitcase or backpack. Good material and nice colors, but I had to repack without using them.

Well made and compression is great
Great variety of sizes, I used each one for my carryon only trip to Europe and they worked beautifully. The compression is amazing, more than I thought it would be. I was able to further compress the cubes with the interior luggage straps and stuff more in the suitcase. Do the clothes wrinkle? A little but since I rolled each piece and stacked them tightly together, and hung each piece when I arrived, honestly they were not really too wrinkled to wear. They are well made w/sturdy zippers and handles are very useful.
