What Fits? Real Packing, Real Results

When testing the real world results of what all these liters and measurements mean we found the simple answer is: 6 days of clothes before you need a laundry stop. One large cube held six large T-shirts, six pairs of socks, and six pairs of underwear with room to breathe. The second carried two pairs of pants, two pairs of shorts, and two button-down shirts, giving you enough outfit options for a six-day trip with zero stress. This loadout also leaves plenty of room in the pack for bulkier stuff like jackets, electronics, toiletries and your laptop. 

Need more space? Go with the 36L bundle. It’s a smart choice for those planning to outfit their Camino pack or prepping for longer treks. The shoe cube alone is a game changer—no more jamming dusty trail runners next to clean clothes. The shoe cube also doubles as a great catch-all for things like electronics, make-up, or anything else you need to carry in an organized manner.

We used the rolling method while packing out the cubes. Essentially it’s exactly how it sounds, fold shirts, underwear, or legwear in half longways one time, then roll from there. If you’re taking a nicer button down, we recommend folding them to fit the size of the cube to prevent as many wrinkles as possible. We also recommend wrinkle free oxford shirts for that reason if that’s the vibe you’re going for. Sleeping on the floor at the Kuala Lumpur airport and realizing you experienced a time change you weren’t accounting for, but still managed to wake up right at the end of your flight boarding to make it on time is stressful(and has happened to us) but at least we looked good in our wrinkle-free oxford shirt.

The sequence below showcases the 30L bundle in photo 1, how it fits inside of a 30L Dragonfly in photo 2, and how it fits in a 36L Dragonfly in photo 3. Please note that when packing the cubes, for the most efficient fit, stack the large cubes on top of one another when packing.

Light as Air, Tough as Nails

At just 6 oz for the 30L bundle and 8.5 oz for the 36L, these cubes keep things featherweight, yet the quality is anything but flimsy. The mesh face panel allows you to see what’s inside without opening them, and the full-zip design means no digging or dumping when you’re trying to find that one elusive sock.

They slip into your pack like a glove, stack neatly, and feel like they were custom-built for your journey—because they were.

An Unexpected Luxury

Sometimes travel throws you a curveball—like an unexpected night sleeping in an airport. When that happens, your ULA Packing Cubes double as a soft pillow, giving you a bit of comfort when you need it most. It’s just one more way they’re designed to support your journey beyond their primary job of organization.

The Final Word

ULA Packing Cubes are the kind of gear you don’t realize you need—until you use them. Then you wonder how you ever traveled without them. They’re simple, intentional, and built to support a better way to move through the world.

So go ahead—pack smarter, move lighter, and travel further with the gear that’s built for the journey ahead. Feel free to reach out with any questions about our new packing cubes.
