OlarHike 10-Set Compression Packing Cubes
A 10-piece compression set that sorts a whole family suitcase
A 10-piece set with four compression cubes in XL, L, M and S plus extra bags, including a garment bag. Made of tear-resistant polyester with mesh panels and an outer compression zipper.
Our take
Compression cubes make your bag smaller. They don't make it lighter. Squeeze more clothes into the same suitcase and it gets heavier, which is how people end up paying overweight fees at check-in.
If you're packing one big checked bag for a family, this set covers it. You get four compression cubes in XL, L, M and S plus extra bags, including a garment bag. The outer compression zipper squeezes clothes down, mesh panels show what's inside, and the stitching and zippers are reinforced. The whole set weighs almost 2 lb, though. That's noticeable in a carry-on, and a solo light packer won't use all ten pieces.
For families and checked-bag trips, buy it and weigh the bag before you leave home. Carry-on only? Get two or three light cubes instead. Check the price before you book.
Who it’s for
Families and checked-bag travelers who want one set that organizes a whole suitcase.
Skip it if
Skip it if you only travel carry-on with a small bag. Two or three light compression cubes are plenty and weigh less.
OlarHike 10-Set Compression Packing Cubes: questions people ask
Do compression cubes save weight?
No. They squeeze out air so clothes take less room, but the weight stays the same. A fuller bag usually ends up heavier.
Are compression cubes worth it for checked bags?
They keep a big suitcase organized and free up room for souvenirs. Weigh the bag before the airport, though, since checked bags often have weight limits.
How do you pack a compression cube?
Roll or fold clothes, fill the cube without overstuffing it, close the main zipper, then close the compression zipper to squeeze it down.
