June 29, 2012 Gear Review: Daymaker Packies
Packies are just what they sound like: packing/storage cubes that have clear plastic on both sides. They come in sets of three with a choice of large or small. Each set has three different sizes.
The larger set may be too heavy for travel but I use them to store my travel “stuff” at home.
The smaller size is great for travel with the smallest of the three the proper size to be used as a 3-1-1 bag. I use one to my electronic accessories and another for all the miscellaneous stuff I take.
Besides the two sets in the photos, I have an additional small set in black. They come in various colors.(As usual, I’ve included my Ipod Touch in the photos to give you a size perspective.)
The large set sells for $32.95-39.95 depending on color. The small set goes for $19.50.
They’re well made of heavy duty microfiber. The see through plastic on both sides makes it easy to find things, keeps you organized and makes airport security a breeze.
I give them a big thumbs up. I owned the black set for awhile and when they went on sale a little while ago, I bought the additional two sets. That’s right, I was so impressed, I actually paid for them.

The small Packie is $9.75 vs $30 for TB same size. Also TB is NOT waterproof. BIG price difference -- is it worth it?
I can buy the small Packie set of 3 for $26.50.
