Compression Bags versus Packing Cubes: Which is Better for Packing?

Unlike most people I enjoy packing, it is both like a science and an art. The most commonly used tool to help travelers pack is the packing cube. I've been using packing cubes since the early 2010's and it wasn't until this past year that I heard about compression bags. These aren't your typical compression bags requiring vacuums. All you need to do is put the clothes inside and roll out the dead air. In this video you can see me test the limits of compression bags and packing cubes to see which will be better for packing.
