The best bag for general travel and the best overall travel cube set are the remarkably durable Shacke Pak Packing Cubes. We at the NV are partial to the 5 Set, and with it, you get 4 medium cubes and 1 small. These babies are made from high-quality nylon, are very water-resistant and are virtually impossible to rip or tear. Many travel connoisseurs consider these the finest travel bags ever made!
Shacke cubes come in 8 vibrant colors – Aqua Teal, Black/Blue, Dark Grey, Gentlemen’s Blue, Green Grass, Orchid Purple, Precious Pink, and Warm Red. They also boast an aesthetically pleasing X-design web stitching, so the fabric doesn’t fold in the middle. And the zippers have pull tabs for easy opening. The unique design is very strong and will keep everything tightly compressed.
These bags are 4 inches deep – deeper than most other travel cubes. The look and feel of the bags is excellent, and the quality double stitching indicates great seam reinforcement. These lovelies will last a very long time. I only wish they made a long narrow version. This would be great for socks and underwear so that they would fit snugly in either side of a suitcase. However, don’t let that deter you. They are still amazing cubes.
As for how they made it to the top of our list: they’re simply the best packing cubes we’ve encountered. They’re attractive, extremely well constructed and we believe you really get your money’s worth with this set.
