Which is better for a carry-on only trip?

The NOMATIC set packs lighter and compresses harder, so it suits a strict carry-on. The TRIPPED set gives you more separate cubes for the same bag.

Is the NOMATIC set worth the extra money?

It costs $59.99 at Amazon versus $31.95 at eBay for TRIPPED. You pay for recycled 70D nylon, mesh panels and lower weight, not for more pieces.

The NOMATIC cubes are rated 3 L and 7 L, about 10 L total. TRIPPED does not list per-cube capacity, but six pieces spread across a 10.5 x 15 in footprint.

Do both compress without a vacuum?

Yes. NOMATIC uses a zippered compression system and TRIPPED uses a dual-zipper design. Neither needs vacuum equipment.

Which is better for laundry and shoes?

TRIPPED, because six pieces let you dedicate one to laundry and keep clothes apart. NOMATIC gives you only two cubes.

Which has more shopper feedback?

NOMATIC: 4.8 out of 5 from 592 ratings. TRIPPED: 4.8 out of 5 from 36 ratings.
