Description

The VPC (Vertical Packing Cubelet) is a pretty simple design: a 1.25L all-fabric, vertically oriented cube. Two o-rings on the exterior for attaching to a key strap, shoulder strap, carabiner, or handle loop. One o-ring on the inside so you can continue your TOM BIHN Matryoshka-esque nesting organizational system.

    Glasses corral

    For awhile now I've been looking for a way to corral the reader-, computer-, and sun - glasses I should carry with me when I leave the house. I picked up the VPC on a whim and discovered it's the perfect solution for corralling the glasses! The VPC sits untethered, upright, and open in my bag (current EDC is a Makers Bag), making it easy to find and pull out the right pair when needed. There's definitely enough room to slide a small bottle of lens cleaner inside as well. Even with the contents, I can still close the zipper if needed, which I can foresee doing if I move this to a bag where it's more likely to shift around.

    I appreciate that the VPC doesn't have the hook as the 3DOC does, so I don't have to fuss with folding it out of the way.

    As someone who usually prefers horizontal bag orientations, I'm not sure what else I would use this for, but its current use precisely meets a need.

    A versatile grab bag

    I have the Vertical Packing Cubelet - Solaris 200 Halcyon 1.25L. The key takeaways are it is a durable, light weight, flexible (in both structure and use).

    Design:

    The material (Halcyon) is not super stretchy and light weight. It also doesn’t rip or puncture easily. I have packed it to its max and it never seemed to have an issue zippering. The YKK Racquet-coil zipper works super well around curves even when packed to capacity. The stitching is reinforced (see image 2) which helps it zip closed even when its not full.

    Uses: I haven’t found one dedicated use for the Vert Cubelet so far which doesn’t mean that it hasn’t performed well. As a TOILETRY BAG (image 3) it held all of my travel size items ( body wash, shave cream, shampoo, conditioner, and razor) EXCEPT for a normal size hair brush. The one in the image is just over 6.6 inches. I tend to use it most as a internal CATCH-ALL for my shoulder bag because it is so soft it will fit anywhere. When I camp I use it to hold my flashlight extra batteries, tiny zip pouches that hold pocket tools, and simple med pack stuff. It is also great for jacket or pullover storage. Using a shoulder strap and the Cubelet is way cooler than just wrapping it around your waist.

    Internal organization is very simple, you just throw everything inside. Because the zipper opens the Cubelet half way you won’t be looking around for your items. I recommend the Mini or Super Mini Whale pouch for items that might are smaller than 1 inch for easy…

    Perfectly sized organizer

    Spacious pouch that somehow fits perfectly into most every bag I've used it with. Its vertical orientation allows for easy retrieval of the contents without removing it from the larger bag. It slips neatly into the interior pockets of the Shop Bags, the front pockets of the Pilot and the Co-Pilot, the front pockets of the Synapse/Synik line of backpacks, the end pockets of the Pickup Truck (and the entire Truck line), and the main space of the Nomad - just to name a few. It holds much more than expected yet slips easily and intuitively into small spaces. Additionally, it will stand alone when full and is handy as a pen holder or other desktop uses. It's one of my favorite small organizer bags and I have many colors so I can mix and match with larger bags' colorways. It can also be carried crossbody, with room for a standard 16oz plastic bottled water to stand upright. Really a handy little bag with endless uses (I've even used it as a gift bag to hold small travel or art themed gifts). Shown below with a few other Tom Bihn bags.

    Perfect as a Simple Crossbody

    I wanted to try the vertical packing cubelet to compliment my other packing cubes and actually discovered it works perfect for me as a simple crossbody. When I need to run a quick errand and don't need everything that's usually in my EDC I can put my phone, keys and the cards I need into the VPC with a simple strap and go. Not what I intended to use it for originally, but with Tom Bihn you get versatility.

    Good for organizing not-tiny things

    These vertical cubelets are a really convenient and satisfying size, and can serve as simple crossbody bag if you add a shoulder strap. The double zipper is a luxe touch. I can imagine using it as a small packing cube for socks, undies, fashion scarves, etc. A couple of them would fit easily into the end pocket of my Aeronaut 45. My main use is as a case for my Anker 737 Power Bank charging brick; the vertical cubelet holds it and the associated cables comfortably. I got the cubelet in Cobalt Cerylon and Tidal Halcyon. While I love the Tidal color, I find that the slightly stiffer Cerylon fabric feels a little more sturdy for carrying the heavy charger. Both colors are nice, and I’m including a photo with an Island Halcyon clear organizer cube for blue color comparisons. Regular cubelet (in Zest Halcyon) included for size comparison.
