The Peak Design Packing Cube has the most features per cube on this list. Instead of a long zipper path, it opens with a tear-away UltraZip that Peak Design says uses abrasion-resistant thread built for decades of use. Inside, a moving divider splits clean and dirty clothes and adjusts the size of each side to its contents. An expansion and compression zip adds space or squeezes it out, and Peak Design says two compressed cubes fit in the space of one. The shell is its 100% recycled, weatherproof Versa Heal 70D ripstop, which closes small punctures and abrasions with the rub of a finger. Cubes come in Small, Smedium, Medium and Large, and in sets of 3, 6 or 8 with 10% off, and every cube has a lifetime guarantee. We could not confirm a US dollar price because the site served its European store to our checker, so value is scored conservatively.
