Backpack & Rucksack Cubes
Backpack packing cubes with tapered shapes that fit a rucksack's curves - organisation for one-bag travel, gap years and weekend wild camps.
About our backpack & rucksack cubes
Backpack packing cubes have a different job to suitcase cubes. A rucksack is a tall, curved tube loaded from the top, so square boxes waste space and bury your rain jacket under three days of t-shirts. Our rucksack packing cubes are shaped for the bag: tapered profiles that follow the pack's curves, slimmer cubes that stack vertically so you can pull one out without unpacking the lot, and grab handles positioned for top-loading. Pair them with a compression cube for your bulkiest layer and a one-bag setup suddenly holds a genuinely surprising amount. This is the collection for backpacking trips, gap years, festival weekends and anyone whose luggage has shoulder straps. The best packing cubes for backpacking are the ones that keep day-ten you as organised as day-one you - and that is exactly what these are for. Free UK delivery over £20 and a 100% money-back guarantee on every cube.
Backpack & Rucksack Cubes - FAQs
What makes a backpack cube different from a normal one?
Shape and access. Backpack cubes are tapered and slimmer so they follow a rucksack's curves and stack vertically - you can pull one cube out of a top-loader without emptying everything above it.
How many cubes fit a 40-litre backpack?
A typical 40-litre pack takes three to four of our tapered cubes plus a toiletry bag - roughly a cube for tops, one for bottoms, one for smalls and one compression cube for the bulky layer.
Are they worth it for festivals and camping?
Very much - a dark tent at midnight is exactly where you want a cube system. One cube per day or per category means no headtorch archaeology through a stuffed rucksack.
