The one item that has changed my travel game the most? Packing cubes. Seriously, if you’ve never used one of these space saving devices…do yourself a favor! Since making this life-changing discovery, I’ve tried a few different kinds. But today, I’d like to put the NOMATIC COMPRESSION CUBE to the test. Let’s see what I can stuff inside!
The NOMATIC COMPRESSION CUBE is made of rip-stop nylon so it is super durable and strong. What sets it apart from the other cubes I’ve tried is that it has two compartments. Not only that, there’s an extra zipper in the middle that helps compress everything down!
The double compartment could be useful for a few different things — keeping dirty and clean clothes separate, organizing by type of clothes, or even a side per person if you’re a super minimal couple!
When the packing cube is full it is about 5 1/2 inches tall. However, by zipping the central perimeter zipper, that number can shrink down by about 2 inches! What?! The overall size of the cube is roughly 10 1/2 by 8 inches. For perspective, I have PURSES bigger than that!
Let’s pack some stuff up!
I tried to include some bulkier items that I might not normally take if I was one-bag traveling — like heavy duty yoga pants and jammy pants.
Here’s what I fit inside:
1 sundress
1 button down shirt
1 pair of yoga pants
2 t-shirts
1 pair of denim shorts
1 set of jammies (t-shirt and pants)
3 pairs of underwear
and 1 pair of ankle socks
The middle zipper is what makes it a compression cube!
Now for the most important question! Does it fit in my Tom Bihn Synapse 19?
My hope was that it would sit at the bottom of the bag like this!
Success! (You could honestly stack two in there!)
Look at all that room! Plenty of space for my laptop, another packing cube (or two!) and a toiletry bag. Plus, all the other pockets of the Tom Bihn are free for other goodies. If I were packing for an actual trip (instead of just experimenting), I would probably use the NOMATIC for everyday clothes (maybe tops on one side and bottoms on the other?) and use a smaller packing cube for underwear, socks, jammies, and workout clothes.
Which would mean I could fit A LOT of outfits in a NINETEEN LITER bag.
Final verdict – This is a fantastic packing cube for smaller backpacks! The compression zipper really does a lot to bring the bulk down and double sides is super handy. This little baby holds a LOT!

I love that it has two separate sections! I have some cheap travel cubes that definitely changed the game for me, but it would definitely be worth it to invest in some good ones like this!
This bag is worth to buy. I love the way you managed all the things in a small bag. It’s easy to carry and all the short trip items are perfectly fit in it. Thanks for sharing.
Holy crap that is so cool! My packing is basically just filling my bag in random occasion with clothes that aren’t even folded. One of these would make me want to fold my clothes before I pack them haha! 😀
That’s absolutely amazing! I need one bag like this, perfect for weekend getaways!
What a great little storage solution for travel. I’m forever trying to pack more into a smaller space!
