What's the difference between compression bags and compression packing cubes?
Reviewer consensus
Compression bags are typically plastic and squeeze air out via a one-way valve or roll seal. Compression packing cubes are fabric organizers with a secondary zipper that cinches the contents down. Cubes are easier to repack mid-trip and more durable; plastic bags compress more aggressively but are noisier and less organized.
