I'm confused about Eagle Creek's packing folders and cubes.... It appears to me that you are ADDING items into the bag with the folders and cubes themselves rather than lightening the load. How does this help?

Also, has anyone tried Puma's new product called 96hours? It is apparently a pre-assemebled bag of clothing and accessories for a 96 hour trip. They also have a 24 hours version. Joe Brancantelli mentioned it on his website. You can find out more at www.96hours.com. I will check it out next time I'm in New York (the only retailer in the US), but I wonder if anyone else has actually used it.
