When overstuffed, the reviewer observed that the cube’s zippers could creep open slightly, although the overall system continued to perform well. After heavy packing, the reviewer says the cube compresses its contents into a neat, compact shape that fits cleanly inside a larger travel bag. The reviewer found that the elastic mesh expansion panel created enough room for two towels stacked above the clothing inside the cube.
The reviewer describes the small and medium cubes as smooth ripstop nylon constructions using dual-tab Ultra Zips for easier opening. During testing, a single pair of size 9 Nike Air Force Ones fit comfortably, with enough remaining space for sandals or flip flops.
