While Eagle Creek’s “Pack-It” lineup of packing cubes is primarily known for helping organize your travel luggage, they also offer Gear Cubes that are designed for holding gadgets and electronics, outdoor tools, and anything else you want moisture to stay away from.

Available in a few sizes and colors, each Gear Cube is made from 100% recycled 900D polyester twill fabric that resists punctures and scuffs, and they coat that material with 200D TPU laminate to provide a moisture-repellent barrier to keep the contents safe and dry.

Notice the internal zipper mesh pocket for holding smaller items.

Aside from those points, you can use these like any other packing cube — keep a few of them in a larger bag to separate and organize different types of items, or carry one as a standalone bag using its grab handle, or use the corner snaps to attach it to the inside of your day bag. Whatever you go with, your stuff will stay protected and organized inside.

• X-Small ($27)

Eagle Creek, makers of our favorite travel packing cubes, also make a nifty toiletry bag called the Pack-It Wallaby. The Wallaby offers two main advantages over your standard Dopp kit:

1. It’s way roomier. A simple Dopp kit is the sort of thing that works nicely for short trips or single people who carry relatively few travel toiletries. For extended trips and/or families with a variety of needs, the Wallaby is a lifesaver.

2. It’s more organized. Dopp kits are generally unstructured, so you simply toss your stuff into the bag all willy-nilly. The Wallaby, on the other hand, fully unzips to offer three main sections of storage, each with its own uses.

   The top section sports a large zippered mesh pocket and a shatter-proof compact mirror. The middle panel has three organizer pouches plus a zippered pouch in back. The bottom section is a detachable, spill-proof, see-through pouch that can easily be removed at the airport if needed.

The Wallaby’s full interior.

Other little touches put the Wallaby over the top in terms of utility. Its large, built-in hook lets you hang the whole bag, open, on a towel rack or shower curtain rod. The hook is tipped with a little rubber piece that helps keep the hook from ever falling off, and a little loop on the bag’s exterior keeps the hook stowed while traveling and prevents it from getting caught on your other luggage.

What the Wallaby lacks in style compared to many Dopp kits, it more than makes up for in sheer convenience. Get it for $36 on Amazon.

Over the years, I’ve discovered that one of the best ways for me to have a better time while traveling is by keeping all my stuff neatly organized. The peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly where everything is in my suitcase—along with the Zen-like feeling I get from the packing process itself—always leads to a better outlook on the trip.

Eagle Creek’s Pack-It Cubes are perfect for people like me. They help break down the contents of a suitcase into their respective categories, making the packing process way easier and keeping everything from getting mixed up. They’re washable, they’re water- and odor-resistant, and the mesh top allows you to see the inner contents so you don’t have to guess.

Eagle Creek put together a short video so you can see how these packing cubes work. A set of three (large, medium, and small) will run you about $27.
