Magictodoor Dual Sided Compression Packing Cubes Double the Stroage & Save More Space

I'm a frequent traveler and habitual over-packer. As such, I've been trying packing cubes and compression cubes for years. I rushed to buy a set of MagicToDoor as soon as I saw them. I liked the color (black); washability; compression; and most of all the two-sided bonus. I knew the four cube set was not adequate (I usually like/want 2 large cubes at least) but I was seduced by the two-sided feature, and I wasn't wrong. That said, I packed them for a 5-day trip involving both casual and more dressy events, but before loading my carryon bag, I re-packed everything in my trusted LeanTravel compression cubes. (2 dresses; 3 lightweight pants; 1 skirt; 5 tops; 1 light, 1 med weight sweater; lingerie; accessories). They don't get lumpy. The MagicToDoor cubes have the advantage of light weight, washability, and easy folded storage. But without the rigid sides of LeanTravel, they end up as lumpy cubes when fully packed and compressed. This could be OK for trips (or clothing) that is casual and wrinkle-proof, but it doesn't necessarily work if you have more formal events on the agenda; and anyway, the lumps make for less compact packing. Also, Leading Edge has see-through windows so you can see what's in each cube -- great especially for 2 or 3 stop trips where you might not use everything at every stop. For MagicToDoor, you need to tie on a tag or use a clear plastic stick-on window (the kind made for business cards) so you know what's inside.MagictoDoor is $26 for 4 pieces; Leading Edge $45 for 6 pieces, so they cost about the same per cube. I'll use some of these to augment the Leading Edge cubes, but will mostly keep them (with labels) to store out of season items at home.No cube set I've tried is completely perfect, and some of that is personal: I like to have 2 large and 2-3 medium cubes, even if I only use all of them for longer trips and checked bags. (I'm 5'3" and can pack with fewer fold in the large bags than my 5'11" husband.) Compression without fuss or muss is high on my list, and light weight less so, though it is crucial for back packers, families, tour-travelers.I wish MagictoDoor would add some hard sides to their ingenious design -- I'd be the greatest fan!!

I’m a road warrior and literally have over 30 different types of bags, cases, packing cubes and compartment organizers. So I figured, why not give these are try. The first thing that struck me when unboxing is that these are high quality pouches. The material and zipper are strong, unlike some of the other products that I have. To me the best feature of these packing cubes is that each one has an expandable zipper. 4 cubes are included, but because each expands it’s like having 8 different sizes available. Very highly recommended, and the price point is also great.

I travel a lot... like two or three times a week. I use packing cubes for every trip and these are some of the best I’ve used. The compression zipper allows me to take almost two times more stuff than I normally take. Good quality and the right price. Definitely recommend this product.

The largest cube is as big as my Uniqlo backpack, about 20L in capacity. I appreciate the robustness for BIG packing cubes.The smaller cubes though? I tried using the smallest, and the zippers + thick fabric feel a little bulky. Compressing the cubes requires that you pay attention to the fabric, since it'll snag if you're not careful.If you're traveling light, look for other packing cubes. These are great for home storage of blankets/comforters and assorted items, or to organize big checked bags.

I am an avid traveler, and over the years I have learned to pack and travel light. My Osprey Ozone set has been my greatest companion on all my recent impromptu travels to Europe and Asia.I recently ventured into the world of compression packing cubes looking for a set that would fit my bags. I ordered a few different ones and found the Magictodoor to be of the best value, especially their double-sided feature and their bag sizes, particularly the large one. I also love the feel and the look of the bags overall.I also ordered 2 sets for my mum who had 3 checked bags on a recent trip. The cubes not only helped organize all her packing but also facilitated in easily moving weights between the bags to help balance and adjust the weight limit allowed for each bag.My husband and I are leaving for a 3-week vacation to Thailand at the end of the month and guess who wants a set now!!Colors: I did order a green set initially which I ended up returning as the green was too florescent green for me. Both my sets are black and I ordered the grey for my mum. The black and the grey ones look pretty classy!Thank You, Magictodoor for an awesome product...hope it stays true to its hype in the long run!

I thought these would be better than regular packing cubes. After using them I realize 2 things. 1, flipping them over to add things does not help keep you organized. It would be better to have all of your stuff packed on one side, then try to compress. 2, you can’t see through them, so once you’ve closed them, you have no idea what’s inside which one or side. I will not be using them again. I will go back to regular packing cubes.🙄

This is a great concept and the ripstop material is good quality. The huge flaw is that they used cheap zippers is this product and my zipper separated the first time I tried to pack the large cube. The zipper not working makes this product useless. I do not recommend purchasing this.

I liked that all of the pieces are double sided and compressible. It's made of sturdy material so it's a smidge heavier than my Eagle Creek compression pack it. The zippers are of good quality and feel like they will last. Everything is well seen and sturdy.
