Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to the heavier Original Folder series, the Eagle Creek Pack-It Isolate line focuses on extreme weight reduction and hygiene. While it lacks the rigid structure of some luxury cubes, its ripstop fabric is surprisingly resilient against punctures. It stands out from generic nylon cubes due to the Protx2 treatment, which actively inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, a feature rarely found in the sub-$50 price bracket.

How to use it

1. Select the appropriate size cube for the specific clothing type (Small for socks/underwear, Medium for shirts).
2. Fold clothing to the width of the cube to ensure an even distribution of fabric.
3. Zip the main compartment closed while pressing down to expel trapped air.
4. Engage the compression zipper by running it slowly around the perimeter of the cube.
5. Slot the cubes vertically into your bag like books on a shelf for better visibility.
