Description
Yeoman Packing Cubes are available to fit all four sizes of Yeoman Duffels. When fully loaded, four cubes will fill your Yeoman from end to end, like Life Savers® in a roll. Practically speaking, if you don’t quite fill them you can squeeze five in.
One of the great things about a Yeoman Duffel is that you can pack it quickly and pretty casually: just throw or dump your gear in and go. That said, there are times when achieving a certain level of organization might be just the ticket. Maybe you’re putting together an emergency kit for your home or work, or perhaps on a road trip you want to keep each kid’s stuff separate – like the road, the options are endless.
Yeoman Packing Cubes are only available in solid Aether fabric. Aether is an ultra-light, 100% nylon fabric from Japan. It has a unique and somewhat complex construction, combining 30 denier monofilament with both 100 denier and 200 denier yarns in a micro-ripstop weave that further increases its tear strength. Like most of our fabrics, Aether is coated on the backside with urethane for weather resistance, and is surface-treated with durable water repellant. Though its hand is a bit crisp when new, we greatly prefer Aether's aesthetic over commonly available silicone-coated nylons. It's light, but surprisingly tough.
Aether is a very light fabric, useful for those trying to save weight wherever possible. We've found that it's ideal for Packing Cubes and other travel accessories. Aether is more-or-less translucent, though the opacity varies by color. That means that it's possible to see the contents of the cube even without a mesh panel.
We’ve shaved off even more weight by using #3 YKK coil zippers, and binding the internal seams with Aether fabric as well. Together we’ve reduced the weight of all the Packing Cubes by about 40%—not bad, eh? Aether Cubes will require a tad bit more gentle treatment, but we think most people will find the weight savings worth it.
