Well Designed Product
This packing cube is perfect for those who want a sturdy, dependably made product that also happens to look good. The latter is just a bonus but what makes this packing cube so great, other than the really tough stitching, is the water resistance. It's an additional insurance inside the Blackhole and other Patagonia bags. Others too, I'm ... Read Moresure. Plus, the zippered mesh netting on both sides makes organization fast and easy.
Great for keeping so many things organized. I have a few different sizes for keeping everything from tools to snacks to emergency gear organized in my pack as I do conservation projects in mountainous terrain. Organization is essential for making every minute count.
Used this to take ski touring and was able to fit a pair of kincos and a buff in one half and a soft shell and down jacket in the other. Kept my pack a little more organized than usual.
This bag is the perfect size to carry inside my backpack or suitcase for travel. I use it to segregate everything from travel shampoo to cosmetics to organize and keep my clothes clean. Super little bag. Great quality. Love the Black Hole items.
I am a pilot and actually got this cube to organize my headset, flashlight, pens, and various other things. It just works great and makes sense! The inside compartments are very handy to organize and keeps things from falling out when opening the cube. Great product and highly versatile!
Love my bag! I carry medical equipment in a rainy environment. Fits perfectly in my backpack and the compartments work well. Zippers are good quality and not under sized.
on one hand I really like the size of this and it's super useful, but the one issue I have isn't with this product, it's just that I wish there was one more smaller size because this one is actually bigger than you might think it is. still love using it, just wish there was one more smaller size.
Im using it as my COVID go to bag while traveling. An assortment of masks on one side. Hand sanitizer, facial tissue packs and first aid kit on the side. LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this bag.
I've been looking for a climbing shoe bag for a while, and finally got the perfect one. I can put my two pairs of shoes inside along with a small pouch that includes a bandage, nail clipper, etc...
I wanted to have a high quality waterproof bag for my nursing career. My blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, and other medical supplies is adequately protected and in the perfect sized bag. When I go on camping trips its great to carry too, in case of an emergency.
This is only slightly bigger than the small, but it's still a great product. Fits a ton of stuff and holds up to plenty of abuse. Almost fits my shoes!
We attached a canvas strap to these and my kids (5&7) used them for lunch, water, and swimsuits at nature camp. Super spacious, durable, easy to use. Moving forward would work well as a big toiletry kit or for odds and ends in the car.
I picked up the medium black hole cube to use as a wilderness med kit, and it UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. The material is absolutely ideal for weight-to-durability. It's been on 2 multi day canoe excursions, a week long backpacking trek, and weekly hikes in the front country, and still looks like new. The external webbing is perfect for securel... Read Morey lashing it to the outside of a pack for quick access, and the internal mesh, zippered dividers keep thing perfectly organized. I would be hard pressed to name another piece of small gear that gets as much use as this cube.
I use these black hole cubes to organize gear inside my pack for work and they work very well. Impressed at how much stuff you can pack into these, but if you cram them too full the zipper gets a little tricky. They are water resistant, especially inside a pack, but for electronics I use a true "dry bag".
This packing cube is awesome! I just got the Plume Gray and it is beautiful. I never knew about packing cubes until I came across these. After thinking about it for a month, I went ahead and purchased the medium and small... While they were in the mail, I went on a ski trip and desperately wish that they had arrived! They would have been perfect fo... Read Morer storing smaller items such as gloves, neckies, hats, etc. Safe to say I will be using them every time I go anywhere. The smaller one will be great for river days in Vermont! They will organize my Gear Tote very well.
My wife ordered me this as a traveling bag to carry essentials when I am on the go. I've had it for two weeks and love the bag. Super durable and is capable of carrying a lot and I ordered a medium. Could not imagine what an XL would hold. Highly recommend!
Great stow for my First Aid kit. Red color easily identifies plus I added appropriate labeling. Great size, added strap, biner. Zipper works great. Versatile bag.
I dig these things. I have the medium one and can fit a pair of cleats, shoe horn, ankle brace, snacks and sunscreen. They also make great toiletry bags.
I've been using it to store my headphones and other small tech items that I like to bring to work everyday. It has plenty of room, separated compartments and is well built.
I purchased this for my son to organize college dorm shaving kit supplies. He has been happy with the size & shape of the product as well as its durability.
I had received my bag about a month ago and my friend had told me is was a really cool bag, but after about 2 weeks of use the zippers just broke, they always got caught on cloth not cut evenly, and I could rarely open or close the inside zippers, until they just broke.

Packing Cube has many uses
These cubes work great pre-sorting gear for camping or day hikes! Get varying colors and know what is where when you need it! Think past clothes to gear and various gadgetry... works great everywhere!
These come in pretty handy.. Ive beaten the heck out of mine in just one winter... using for skins bag, overnight kit and photography accessories.. now its summer and keeping buffs and face masks, sunscreens etc. maps.. lives in my truck.
Do you ever hate packing for a trip early because you forget what you stuffed into your bag? Or do you wish your Airbnb had drawer liners so you didn't have to put your clothes on someone else's cat hair? Or do you perhaps wish that unpacking when you got home was a cinch?
This bag is the answer to your needs. Whether you are Type A or Ty... Read Morepe B wishing for a better travel experience, the 6L packing cube is a must-have.
I used it on a recent trip to Europe. One side comfortably fit several pairs of shorts and leggings. The other side fit several tank tops and t shirts. I rolled all clothing items and could easily see them without disruption.
This packing cube zips on both sides, and then the entire cube zips together.
During my trip, I just opened the cube and rolled up the mesh dividers, so the cube served as its own clothing organizer.
On my return trip, I nestled a mug into the cube before zipping it up--perfect insulation to prevent it getting broken on the way home!
I chose the Coriander Brown shade. It is nicely neutral feeling--not a distracting visual stimulus in the closet.
Bought several for Xmas stocking stuffers. Like them so much, got one for myself. They make great kit bags, or general purpose storage/travel/packing cubes. Tough, functional.
Perfect for helping to organize my large Blackhole Dufflebag. Will definitely be buying more, in multiple sizes, in the future. Wish I would've bought this much sooner!
I have used this bag for over a year and finally got a second! They are super useful, versatile, and I’ve see an almost no signs of wear after all the times I have used my bag.
I now have a large and medium set. The large I use for toiletries while traveling, and the medium I bought for gear organization. Highly recommend!
Used this on a recent trip to Bhutan, worked great to hold a number of small things from batteries to socks. Made it easy to find things when I needed.
Buying online it is difficult to predict how large a bag really is. I had planned to use this bag to store a change of clothes for myself and my two kids BUT I found that while it can hold their clothes easily, it takes some maneuvering to fit all three of our clothes in. Perhaps I should have bought the larger one but the dimensions mean it fits p... Read Moreerfectly into my 40L Black Hole Duffel. Can't have both I suppose! Otherwise the quality is great and it's pretty waterproof (we had a water bottle spill in the main bag and didn't realize it but the contents of this bag stayed dry.
Just like any Patagonia products the Black Hole Cube is top-notch. I purchased it for a toiletry bag and is the perfect size to fit everything I have including my shampoo and body wash bottles. I am constantly on the move due to not having an actual home so it's nice to have a quality bag that can hold up to anything.
Not the most organized guy, so being able to easily find things in a large duffle with out treating it apart is great. These black hole cubes are just the ticket for keeping things organized and easy to find.
