We have two of last year's version of Rick's Convertible Carry-on Bag. One of them lived for 2-1/2 weeks in Europe each of the last two summers. He also bought two games each of the Rick Steves' packing cubes that fit exactly into your convertible Carry-on Bags (2 large and 4 small cubes Rick package fit into your bag – or remove a small bucket to allow space The Division for toiletries kit or bag.) If you are familiar with Rick's philosophy of travel (travel light and carry-on), these pails are a perfect complement to your bag – any bag or package. It is see-through ease of finding what you want, and adds virtually no weight to your bag. That keeps everything organized, so you keep everything unpacked the bag each time you need a point. For more information on Rick's travel philosophy and travel suggestions get his book Europe through the back door. Invaluable.

Regardless of what type of luggage I'm taking (or structured mobile mobile duffle bags), these packing cubes are a great help with the internal organization. They let me off like a cube as in underwear, socks in another etc. I have also been happy with them for things – to use a powercords and cables (for laptop, Zen player, camera, mobile phone) and other accessories small as my memory card reader for digital camera etc
Very useful – and I had given some of these for many years to keep doing good. I like the Eagle Creek ones a little better, but all of Rick Steves is by far the best price. And Rick Steves is a travel guru by the way – if you do not own some of his books is actually losing. They are the best travel books on the market. Check out the Graffiti board on their website for more information and a taste for their advice and recommendations.

This is a great value for the packing cubes, but when it was first used while backpacking, I believe, encouraged inefficent packing my shirts and underwear, and is used primarily as elastic built to keep closing my luggage at all. My solution: combine them with travel-size vacuum space bags "(whatever the manufacturer is well – I have Eagle Creek) to squeeze these down a notch. Aid for the construction of mesh airflow outside of the package, but the buckets themsleves help keep everyhing organized when there are all clean and pressed to keep the bags.
