Tom on designing the Convertible Packing Cube/Backpack:

"I designed the Convertible Packing Cube/Backpack as a result of customer requests from our forums; in fact, I think it's the first product we've made that was 100% inspired by customer feedback. Many of the details, of course, reflect my design experience, and my sewing crew helped to refine some of the subtleties of the construction. Overall, it was truly a group effort.

We took the prototype on our trip to Alaska in June of 2008, and we used it everyday: for grocery shopping, for organizing the trunk of the car, even for a short day hike. It's light-weight, compactable, and yet, because of the Dyneema ripstop fabric, tough as nails." -- Tom

The Packing Cube Backpack (Aeronaut) is a dual-purpose packing cube: in preperation for and during your journey, use it to organize and pack your clothing inside of the Aeronaut - just like how you'd use our Large Aeronaut Packing Cube.

When you reach your destination and it's time to leave the Aeronaut in the hotel or hostel, you can remove the contents of the Packing Cube Backpack and right-side it out, transforming it into a backpack with two compartments, an "o-ring" for attaching a Guardian Light, Key Strap, or Clear, Padded, Cordura or Cork Organizer Pouches, and webbing backpack straps that are surprisingly comfortable for lighter loads. Pack a light jacket, wallet, lunch, water bottle, and map: you're ready to go out and explore, and you've saved space by not having to bring a separate bag for day use.

Made out of custom-dyed Japanese 200 denier nylon with a Dyneema ripstop fabric, the Packing Cube Backpack is very lightweight yet tough enough for a lifetime of use for most folks. The Packing Cube Backpack is available in colors Steel or Solar.

We design and make a variety of travel Packing Cubes:
