BAGAIL Compression Packing Cubes and Toiletry Bag (Review)

In 20 years of backpacking, one of my greatest packing discoveries was the use of a large compression sack (later, a nylon dry bag) to help compartmentalize my clothes. 

Typically, I’d keep the clean clothes in the compression sack, which would get progressively smaller until it was laundry time. 

This approach not only had me feeling more organized then stuffing everything haphazardly into my backpack, but it also allowed me to fit more in the limited space available. 

Later, I discovered smaller packing cubes, which takes this concept of improved organization and packability even further. 

So, when the folks at BAGAIL reached out to me recently to give their compression packing cubes a try, I happily agreed. 

They sent me a set of three nylon packing cubes in blue (my favorite color) along with a black toiletry bag. 

I received them last week, right before I left home for a long weekend in New Orleans.

It was the perfect opportunity to put them to use.
