Pack-It Reveal Medium Clean/Dirty Cube

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cube seems well made and, if you like the design, a good value. That said, I’m comparing it to the original iteration of Eagle Creek’s clean/dirty cube, and it is a poor upgrade. The original’s zipper opened completely and was hinged on the longer side (horizontally), making it easy to lay folded clothes inside. This version opens vertically and the zippers don’t open all the way, so you have to “lay and tuck” your clothing in, or roll them. The lining separating the two sides doesn’t have the same slack and shape as the first version, so when one side is packed the other is hard to use. The new zippers wrap diagonally along the height of this new design for some reason, versus the flat “lid” of the previous, so it’s hard to pile beyond a certain height of clothes. That lack of wall and the floppy structure of this cube make packing it a chore, where the previous one was a joy to fill and use throughout a trip. All in all it’s well made but I’m disappointed when using it.
