I bought these backing cubes for planned work travel trips this fall, but have since learned that trips are cancelled. But these are very versatile and i used them for a hiking trip with my family. I was able to pack an extra set of clothes for my kids in a single large cube, slip it into my pack and have plenty of room left over. I'm glad I did as we ran into a pretty big rain storm and my kids were soaked to the bone as a result. Having clothes in a contained space and not taking a lot of space in my pack was great. Used the medium and other large cubes in my families travel duffel bag to retain space for other clothes and towels. I liked having the laundry bag as well as it was used immediate the day after I received it.
From my initial use on a day hiking trip, I'm confident that these will work great for when I do start traveling. It compresses the clothes/gear down to a workable level and easy to pack. These will also come into good use for weekend away trips y wife and I take to limit the number of bags or the size of bag used. My initial use gave me a good indication that I got the right gear for me. I read a lot of reviews and though I typically prefer darker colors because they hide marks, dirt, stains better, I bought the wide ones so that I can see through easier and pick the cubes that I want or need for the day/use which I have. I have to say, that came in handy this past weekend as I pulled the exact cube I wanted to have in my pack for the trail.
Now I know that someone reading this is wondering if it is water tight as I used it for dry clothes for my kids, the answer is no, but I had packed it in my dry bag in my pack with is water resistant. So when the rain ended and we were in a place to get clean clothes to my kids, we had it readily available.
I bought these for a specific reason, e.g. capability of packing a week's worth of clothes/gear in a single duffel bag to travel, but used it for a different purpose and glad I did. Worked great and like the quality of the product. I would recommend using this for hiking, backpacking, or traveling.
