TIL a $35 packing cube set can actually cost you more in the long run

I bought a cheap set for a week in Chicago, and the zipper broke on day two, forcing me to buy a new shirt at the hotel gift shop. Has anyone found a specific brand that holds up under actual travel stress?

Ugh, that's the worst. I learned the hard way too. I've had really good luck with Eagle Creek cubes, the basic ones. The fabric feels thin but the zippers are solid, and I've stuffed them full for years with no rips.

Honestly wyatt513, I get what you mean about the fabric feeling thin. Tbh that's actually why I stopped using them. I had a basic Eagle Creek cube for a while and the fabric started to tear at the seams after one really packed trip. The zipper was fine, but the material gave out. Ngl I switched to something with a tougher outer layer because I overpack every time.
