Eagle Creek Pack-It Original Clean/Dirty Packing Cubes for Travel - Durable Lightweight Dual Compartment Suitcase Organizer to Keep Clothes Separate, Black - Small

I saw this on a Rick Steves Monday Night Travels zoom, and I just HAD to have it for my upcoming trip. It's two-sided, one side keeps toiletries together (or whatever you want to use it for), and the other side keeps all my travel knicknacks. Lisa from the show calls it her junk drawer, which is a perfect description, because it can hold a lot of travel stuff! I absolutely adore this bag.

I like these bags I use for electronics in travel. You can put chargers/ cords one area. Easy separation- wish they made a smaller version. Amazon is only place I’ve found them they must be discontinued so buy if you can

These cubes revolutionized the way I travel. If you're on the fence about packing cubes in general, make the plunge and fit, like, 50% more stuff in your bag. Plus, you'll know where all of your stuff is ALWAYS. My friends and fellow travelers are always jealous of my packing cubes and I am always on the lookout for a better one than this eagle creek clean/dirty cube.The dirty compartment makes this cube my favorite. It's SO convenient to separate wet, smelly, or soiled clothes from the clean ones. The dirty side keeps moisture and smells in very effectively.This size cube can fit 2 outfits or a pair of shoes comfortably. Or you can pack a week's worth of lingerie or a couple of small towels. Solid choice for a short trip.

With Eagle Creek's new "Specter" line, which is lighter and brighter, the original line is becoming obsolete. In fact, the Clean Dirty cubes are becoming hard to find, except online. I have several pieces in both original and Spector and here's my comparison:Original line:-heavier-sturdier-U-shaped zip on cubes, not inconvenient L-shape-LinkSeal mesh material is waterproof mesh!-considerably cheaper than Specter lineSpecter line:-lighter-less durable-L-shape zip so you must unpack everything to get to bottom-water-resistant ripstop nylon-fun colors like tangerine, beet, strobe green, white/strobe, etc.-33%-50% more expensive than the original lineThe only reason to get the Spector line is if the weight difference is a factor, for e.g. when backpacking. Otherwise, the original line—while less sexy—is the more practical bet.And another thing, these Clean Dirty cubes ONLY come in the original line. Of all the pieces I own, these are the most useful. You can fill the entire cube with clean clothes at the beginning of your trip, and gradually shift some over to the dirty side as you progress on your trip. The dirty side is made of the waterproof LinkSeal mesh material and kept quite contained. This division makes ALL the difference. I have both larger and smaller sizes, the former for clothes and latter for inner garments.I'm happy with my mixed collection of original and Spector lines; when something has sharp edges, zippers or is especially heavy I use the original line. For lingerie or finer items I use the Spector line. Also, I try to fill my backpack with only Spector sacs because they are on average 50% lighter.Hope this helps!

In my opinion, these (and the large size version) are the only cubes to buy except for a few other ones to fill a niche'. Anyway, I have five sets of the half cubes and full cubes of this style. Each set is a different color which allows me to organize my suitcase (Eagle Creek has more colors on their website). I love that I can easily see the contents inside of my cubes. As I wear my clothes, I can put dirty/moderately wet laundry into the dirty side. These are not the lightest cubes in the world, and I believe they are about 6 ounces each. Eagle Creek makes a Spectre line which is a lot lighter. However, the Spectre line has a few drawbacks (hard to see inside them, zipper opening makes accessing items difficult, not as durable) that would prevent me from wanting to use them unless I am traveling to someplace where weight really matters (like Europe). One last thing, these cubes are the perfect size for several pairs of men's boxer briefs or smaller shorts.

Just got this today, it's going to work perfectly for me. I normally don't write reviews but thought it important to bring up one thing that isn't mentioned quite adequately in the product description. The description says there is a "seal link" between the clean and dirty sides, I thought that just meant the two sides were separated from each other. But what they do not tell you is that the baffle between the wet/dirty side is large enough to give you a full clean or a full dirty/wet side. Meaning this cube is similar in function to Tom Bihn's Laundry Bag and Flight 001 packing cubes with clean and dirty sides. I intend on packing the clean side 100% full and as I use the items in the cube, you transfer them to the other side. This is exactly the functionality I wanted. The bonus is that using just one cube for clean and dirty leaves the same amount of room in your bag and I no longer need to use a laundry bag from a hotel for my dirty or wet items. My only wish is that they made the same thing in the Specter material and frankly all of their cubes should have this clean/dirty functionality.

I love Eagle Creek cubes and have used them for years. I purchased this cube after a recent trip where I stuffed some damp items into my suitcase and wished for a better storage solution. This Clean/Dirty cube was perfect! Took a weekend trip with this cube as my 'suitcase'. Packed the ventilated clean side full, packed half and half after day one and fully dirty (plastic lined) on day 2. No odor or moisture transfer from dirty clothes. Like the fact that the center partition has enough material to allow full packing for either the clean or dirty side; you don't have any wasted space in the cube if one side or the other is empty. I am investing in additional cubes!
