Packing Cubes
The best in slot.
There is no real alternative to this, and I don't think anyone could make a better version in the relative near future.
Why it's here
Revised Sep 2026Packing cubes are a solved problem and everyone kept failing to solve it. The issue was never organising clothes on the way out, it was what happens on day three when half of what you packed is dirty and mixed in with the rest.
These have a second zip that collapses the cube into two separate compartments. Clean on one side, worn on the other, and the cube shrinks as you go.
It's a three because it's so obviously correct that I'm annoyed nobody did it sooner, and because there is nothing left to improve.
