Packing Cubes
6 reviewsI think this is a significant improvement on some other companies’ ‘pods’. The cinch strap creates a pod that is both super accessible when the cinch is loose, but that squares off into a nice cube when the cinch is tightened. Great, simple design.

Surprisingly Useful
The form and function of these cubes allows for a fast and compact form to be achieved that’s much more stable and controllable in comparison to roll top bags. I’ve found use for storing a cooking set including a gas canister and other accessories in the medium sized cube and the way it cinches down I’ve noticed keeps the contents safer from damage because the content is very snug inside the cube / pack. The obvious drawback is that you need to get the sizing right. If you have a cube that’s too big for the contents your putting inside of it, its a mess, and unlike a roll top bag there’s nothing you can do about it. But when the sizing is appropriate, its a much superior experience! Definitely recommend getting a medium and large to test out configurations and more once you’ve determine how you like to use them.

Great ditty bag
Just a great bag. I use mine as ditty bag. Love it. You can zip it up and then roll that down and then snap together and make it very compact, if you haven't filled the bag to capacity

Packing cubes
Very good for sorting my gear. After walking 85 kilometres in 5 days, 2 of these days in very good rain. Everything stayed dry. Very happy with all my zpack purchases, thank you. Judy

Packing cube
This is a wonderful thing to use as a food bag in my pack. Easy to open with the zip and has a wide opening.


Interesting design
The picture doesn't do it justice. It looks very cubed-like, but it conforms nicely to its contents. There's a strap over it as seen in the bottom right part of the product image (the buckle of it at last) which is a part of it. The strap help control the shape and tidiness of the sack.
Packing Cube Add-ons
Travel Utility Zip
Its greater thickness and single zip access affords easy drop in holstering of my Galaxy Note 8 with cover into the “main” compartment, and its secondary compartment allowed for my passport and vaccination card. The third compartment worked for storing cash and my ticket/boarding pass.
– Benjamin C., ★★★★★

Front Utility Pack Accessory
Really glad I bought this pouch—it works with my pack’s waist belt, it’s practically weightless, and it’s the perfect size for phone, compass, map and a few snacks.
– Charles Y., ★★★★★

Very lightweight and compact. Roll top allows for flexible stowing options. All specs exactly as stated.

Trek through damp forests with confidence and dry gear. This is a good size for multiple clothing items, a tent, or a down quilt. This size fits well horizontally in most smaller backpacks.

Ultralight Travel Toothbrush
Reasonably light. Tooth paste tube easily refills off a bigger tube with a little thought and allows me to brush my teeth twice a day for a week.”
– Brian J., ★★★★★
Make sure you have fresh clean teeth to lift your spirits without weighing down your pack. This ultralight, compact toothbrush includes an extension handle, a mini toothpaste tube, and a handy carrying case all for less than an ounce! If that is still too heavy carry only the parts you need.
The included toothpaste tube holds enough for a week or more if used sparingly. When it runs out, pinch the air out, butt it up tight against a normal toothpaste tube, and squeeze more in to re-fill it.
These are not returnable once the packaging is opened, unless there is a defect.

Zpacks Lotus UL Umbrella
It was great at blocking the sun and flexible in the wind. I used it for hours in a rain storm yesterday and it was so light I barely noticed I was holding it that long. I plan to bring this umbrella everywhere.
