If you’re headed somewhere warm and plan to pack lightweight clothes, say a long weekend in Montauk or an island getaway, these Eagle Creek packing cubes are a solid, no-frills choice. This set comes with three pouches, sized extra small, small, and medium. These were tested by senior commerce editor Madison Flager, who says they’re best used for lightweight clothes you can roll up or fold flat, like athletic clothes and T-shirts. “I find the extra small size is well-suited for underwear (about a week’s worth, more than I thought could fit on first glance) or socks (around five ankle or no-shows, or two pairs of thicker socks). The small is good for T-shirts (three to five), and the biggest size, the medium, can accommodate one or two pairs of pants or two to three lighter sweaters,” Flager says. She admits she’ll gravitate toward larger packing cubes like the Paravel set for extended trips, but will pull these out for weekend trips and overnights.
Why we chose it: Super lightweight, machine washable, and water-resistant
