Packing Cubes - Thoughts?

I nab the shoe bags provided in some hotels (eg Sofitel)

I think the last time when we were in Singapore, I looked at MUJI and nearly bought the packing cubes there, they certainly were VERY similar to the K Mart ones I did buy here. But at K Mart they were cheaper than MUJI !! but MUJI didnt have them last month on our trip back home.
The first test will be our road trip to Newcastle and the AFF meeting then Sydney and the trip home via Blue Mts, Orange and NEH.
@prozac - the Globite ones are definitely a stronger bag, with only a small part open mesh, and the K Mart ones you can see all of whats inside as the top is all mesh.

I bought Zoomlite packing cubes many years ago on recommendation from American friends … different colours for everyone in the family. Ours have been round the world many times and still as good as new. Wouldn’t be without them.

I have this Rimowa set which fits in my Original cabin bag. They are brilliant, very durable. Fit a ton.

And sometimes a laundry bag as well, if not plastic.

I’ve had those Kmart ones for about four years now - a pink set and a grey set. They’re fantastic. One of the pink ones is starting to split along a seam but that may be me being rough - I took it on a 6 day bushwalk and packed my heavy cooking gear in it.

Is the cb Rimowa as well?
I have old Wenga SwissGear luggage which is very robust but I now realise quite heavy.

I have a selection of mostly Kathmandu and Muji ones. When it's a family trip, I tend to separate by colour. I definitely find it much easier to roll my clothes and use packing cubes, especially if there's some last-minute repacking.

I haven't yet used cubes on HLO trips.

I haven't yet used cubes on HLO trips.

I have used 2x small and 1x medium Kathmandu cubes in a rigid HLO cabin bag. They pack nicely into the "flat" side with an overall zipper closure then I sort of "roll and arrange" other stuff including footwear around the handle mechanism on the other side. Haven't quite mastered side 2 packing but DID manage along with a backpack to HLO a recent trip to Thailand for a week-long sailing event. Helps that the weather is warm but still need some wet weather protection (jacket with hood, waterproof shorts etc) which add a bit of bulk.
