Monos Compressible Packing Cubes review

Monos Compressible Packing Cubes combine a structured shell with compression, which most cubes here offer one or the other of. Every cube has a compression zipper that Monos says cuts its height by up to 60%, and the build is stiff enough to stand upright when empty, yet it stores flat. The set of four includes cubes of 13 x 9.8, 13 x 7.1, 10.2 x 8.3 and 9.8 x 4.3 inches, each 4.5 inches deep, and Monos says it fits all its Carry-On sizes; the set of six adds a large 16.9 x 12.2 inch cube and a small 7.1 x 4.3 inch cube for checked bags. The exterior is tear-resistant, water-resistant nylon twill with a mesh top window, and the lining is 100% recycled polyester. The set of four lists at $95, and Monos was offering 25% off with a code when we checked. Cubes are not sold individually, and the warranty is a 2-year limited one.
