SnugpakPakbox Travel Storage Bag with Mesh Cover and Carry Handle, 1 Liter, Olive

If you're considering this range, I'd advise you to take a look at the eBags range before committing yourself.Having just taken delivery of the 2 litre version of the Pakbox, a number of comparisons can be drawn with the eBags packing cubes. Firstly, it is small: smaller than you may expect from the photograph above. If we use the supplied dimensions to calculate the capacity of each bag:Snugpak 2: 23cm x 20cm x 6cm = 2.8 litreeBags Medium: 34.9 x 24.8 x 7.6 = 6.6 litreeBags Small: 27.9 x 17.2 x 7.6 = 3.6 litreebags Slim: 35.6 x 12.7 x 7 = 3.2 litreThe Snugpak PakBox is well made but, I would argue, not as well made as the eBags. For example, the zip pulls don't feel as robust and don't have the attached pulls that you find on the eBags.Nor does the Snugpak compete particularly well on weight. At 100g it is slightly heavier than the small eBag and only slightly lighter than the medium eBag - which, I believe, is 110g in weight. Where the Pakbox system may score, is if you're looking for packing cubes with a squarer footprint than that which the eBags offer.Finally, there's the issue of price. If I had exclusively chosen this range over eBags, it would almost certainly have cost considerably more to cater for the same capacity. For example, a pack of three small eBags cost £16.99. Three Pakbox 2 would have cost me £20.67. And this still flatters the Pakbox because, to get a similar capacity to the three small eBags, would actually require closer to four Pakbox 2.So, in summary, the eBags are lighter, cheaper, and appear to me to be better made. The only reason I can supply for preferring the Snugpak 2 is its squarer footprint - together with the tentative suggestion that the heavier weight might reflect slightly tougher, more durable materials.

Bought this (and a small 1 litre one for my hand luggage) to try and organise my suitcase a little better. When I first opened the package I thought I had made a mistake and chosen too small but I soon found that 7 pairs of underpants, 7 pairs of socks (folded) and a couple of hankerchiefs fitted comfortably. I will probably buy some more as this made packing and unpacking much more straightforward. The 1 litre packbox took 1 pair of socks, 1 pair of underpants and 1 t shirt and made for an easily transferable emergency clothes change pack.

I bought this so I could make cadet camps easier and it really doeswhen I packed all my clothes I needed for 2 day fitted into it then it easily went into my bag it saved loads of spaceDuring the camp it was easier to keep track of my clothes (others lying about) and I kept them all togetherThen during th night I found out that when when full it can be used as a PILLLOW!!!And when it was time to leave it packed nicely and fitted into the bagOverall a great bit of kit for Amy camping trip to make life and packing a lot easier I don't go on any camps without it

This bag is a little bigger than I was expecting, but that's not a bad thing.easily fits 3 pairs of socks, 3 underwear, 3 t-shirts and a pair of gloves with room to spare.Seems sturdy enough to take a good pulling and will come in very handy for trips.

Keeps your bags in order

I have used packing squares from Eagle Creek and others, and find them essential for organizing underwear and toiletries in my travel bag. These Snugpak bags are as good or better than others, and at a lower cost. Excellent! A note on sizing - the two liter Pakbox is about 8 inches on a side and holds toiletries nicely, or socks and underpants for 4 days, or a couple of rolled t-shirts. For longer travel get one of the next size up as well.

Not a rigid bag but well made and keeps things from getting lost in the suitcase. Used frequently for business trips for over a year with no signs of wear.

Used this on a month's long trip and it kept my clothes and other stuff organised in my large suitcase. It complemented my other bags like my packmate rollbags and toiletries bag.
