Any packing cubes fans? Teach me your ways!

Wow, you've managed to break science!

There's no way using them makes your bag weigh less. Things weigh what they weigh. Then you add in the weight of the cubes themselves.

Of course they things weigh what they weigh, however I didn't state clearly enough that we tend to bring less with them, hence the lower weight.

Sorry, I was in a newborn fog a year ago!

I think they help me pack more efficiently so I'm less prone to taking too much extra stuff. Also they add ounces because all of the ones I have are made out of super light weight material. Sure they may technical you add a few ounces but we're not ultralight camping here so a few extra ounces to organize your bag efficiently and make you rethink a few extra items you are trying to cram into a nook or cranny is worth it IMO.

Thanks for clarifying! Now it makes more sense.

I use the space saver bags, travel version. I can fit all my clothes in 2-3 of them. I can then use a smaller bag, but I have to watch the weight limit as I can take much more with me. Couldn't figure out how using the cubes would make clothes weigh less.
