Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack It Folder 20 Organizer




Eagle Creek designs its product lines to make travel easier and more fun. Not surprisingly, the folks at Vista, California-based Eagle Creek travel the four corners of the world in their spare time. By yak, by Fiat, by bus, by fast train, or by airplane, Eagle Creek employees come back and figure out how their gear can work better in all of the above circumstances. Most importantly, the company listens to its well-traveled customers, who demand that their travel gear be smart, indestructible, and comfortable. That’s why Eagle Creek builds every product with the highest-quality, most-reliable performance in mind. Every buckle, zipper, webbing, and fabric choice is scrutinized based on rigorous lab and field-testing. The company is also keenly aware of the environmental impact of its products, which is why it strives to minimize material waste and source and manufacture its products using the least harmful fabrics, trims, and packaging materials available.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars worht every penny
I travel 150+ nights a year and would not leave home without the folder and packing cubes. The 20″ folder hols 6 XXL shirts really well and makes packing very simple. If you start out with pressed shirts and fold them correctly you will arrive with pressed shirts. The other advantage to the folder/cube system is it prevents the TSA people from pawing through your cloths at the airport.

2 Stars inefficient and clumsy
travelling is such a pleasure and having a packing system helps to make it so. a good bag and a system give you time to enjoy the trip.

i have found that using cubes, and i have all sizes, beats the folder hands down. you may pack differently than i do, as there are a host of packing philosophers out there to whom one may subscribe, but i just find this Folder an awkward contraption. it forces one shape out of your clothing destined to go in it which is bad enough, but it also has a pretty high mass-to-volume ratio, meaning it weighs more than it should for the amount of clothing it can hold.

when forced to decide on what to keep in my overstuffed bag on a recent trip, i opted to let go of one of these Folders and i left it in the hotel room, accepting chaos in the bag instead.

its clumsiness and inefficiency, compared to other various packing cubes from Eagle Creek Eagle Creek Pack-It Half Cube (and others like it… LL Bean), have me rating it unfavorably. add a star because it is better than nothing, and it does a great job if all you have in your case is button-down shirts.

two stars

2 Stars tried twice. will give it one more chance
Followed the instructions, but the shirts looked awful after unpacking. My wife is very happy about this :-)

5 Stars Just what I needed
Rugged, plenty of room, and handles, so you can carry it alone or put it in your suitcase. A very good product for those who travel often.

5 Stars The key to taking a smaller suitcase!
I was desperate to find a way to bring a very small suitcase for a 3-week trip to Europe. After seeing a video about these Pack-It folders I couldn’t resist trying them, despite being a bit skeptical. I’m not an ultra-light packer, but I managed to fit all of my clothes for a 4-country business/pleasure trip into just two of these folders: about 10 tops in one and 5 pairs of pants in the other. Packed that tightly, things still got a bit wrinkled, but I was able to easily fit all the clothes I wanted to bring into a narrow 25-inch suitcase/travelpack. A few other Eagle Creek gizmos helped with the rest: two half-cubes for socks/underwear/accesories, and a medium size compression sac flattened out a sweater and two jackets.

I’ve traveled internationally for many years and have always considered myself to be an efficient packer. However, folders and other Pack-It accessories take it to another level! They’re definitely worth the investment.
