Travellers love compression packing cubes that fit ‘8 days’ worth of clothes’

Summer holidays bring sea, sand, sunshine and, rather less glamorously, packing stress. With the cost of booking hold luggage now almost the same price as booking another seat on the plane, many travellers are looking for ways to make the space in their carry-on case work harder for them.

Or, if you’re heading off on a family holiday and you’re sharing a checked case with the kids, you might be fighting for room in amongst several pairs of shoes and suncream bottles. Either way, travellers believe they’ve found a solution to the luggage space conundrum in Nordace Siena Compression Packing Cube, currently £17.99 here.

With a lightweight and compressible design, this chic-looking in-luggage addition can free a lot of space for your and enhance your productivity in packing and repacking greatly. The cube’s unique double zipper compression system allows you to reduce the thickness of the bag from 4″ to 1″ while the strong and durable water-resistant fabric is designed for long-term use.

Travellers ranging from sun-seekers to cabin crew are raving about the unique design of the cube, calling it a ‘must-have’ for long and short-haul trips.

One five-star reviewer pens: “As a flight attendant there’s never enough space in my bag. I purchased 2, one holds 3 days of uniforms the other holds 5 days of intimates, socks and stocking. Love them. I will definitely be purchasing more.”

“I took this on a recent trip for 8 days and it was AMAZING. I had my 2 days’ worth of clothes tucked in this cube in my backpack (I like to pack 2 days worth on me if ever my suitcase is delayed or lost) and it was so compact. I will definitely buy more now that its on sale,” a second writes.

A third notes they struggled with the zipper but loved the cube design: “On a positive note, I love the material and the colour. As for usability, the fact that the front zippers don’t touch or meet at the ends, means the clothing is about ready to burst any time.”

If you’re shopping around for other packing cube suggestions, the Lakeland Packing Cubes Trio, £14.99 here, has been designed to help travellers utilise every available inch of space, making them perfect for passengers flying with Ryanair, easyJet and even Jet2. These clever cubes feature a zip-up design and durable, waterproof fabric – ideal if you’re after a lower-cost solution to some of the pricier compression designs on the market.
