Thule Compression Packing Cube review

The Thule Compression Packing Cube is sold one at a time, which suits people who want to build a set to fit a specific bag. Thule lists the Medium at 14 x 10 x 5.9 inches expanded and 13.4 x 9.1 x 1.25 inches compressed, the biggest drop in depth among the cubes with published dimensions here. It weighs 0.29 lb. The shell is bluesign approved 100D ripstop nylon with a water-repellent finish, and the fabric is semitransparent so you can see what is inside without showing everything. Zippers are YKK, and a webbing handle lets you grab or hang the cube. Thule gives a simple sizing rule: most carry-on luggage fits 2 Medium cubes, or 1 Medium with 2 Small. The Medium costs $29.95 on Thule's US site. The limits are the two-size range and the cost of building a full kit, which passes a budget multi-piece set quickly.
