Despite all your good intentions of starting to pack early for a vacation or a business trip, you may find yourself scrambling around the house at the last minute, straining on a well-worn zipper or even worse sitting on a suitcase in order to get some closure.

 

The compressible packing cubes can help you in this regard, but Kiva designs can only do so much, but they have already helped you when it comes to packing.

 

I have my own ideas on the subject of packing and they are not too far away from Kiva’s — keep it tight, light and if you are in any doubt as to whether you may need it, you can be sure you will not miss it if it doesn’t make the cut.

 

The set of three packing cubes allow you to keep your luggage separated into distinct groups and, as you wear them, it is nice to be able to keep clean clothes and worn ones apart.

 

Vacuum packing is ideal but impractical for all but those that may have a minor case of OCD. By using the integrated zipper system you can maximize the amount of garments you can fit into your carry-on so you don’t have to check a bag, and who wants to do that?

 

Made from strong and durable polyester rip-stop nylon and featuring a see-through front that allows you to know what each cube contains at just a glance. A compression cube is one of those items you didn’t know you needed until you bought one.

 

The Kiva compressible packing cube set in black will allow you to not only cut down on the size of your luggage but you will be surprised at how much space these cubes will save.
