I guess it depends on wardrobe and your purpose of travel. Like Dianne47, rolling doesn't work for me. Most of my travel is business-related and rolling dress shirts and anything other than some of the newer performance fabric polo shirts proves to be a disaster. (Even when rolled tightly) Men's clothing also seems to have a larger footprint yielding BIG rolls...especially with trousers.. Rolling is, however, a viable option for underclothing, t-shirts, and other item's that don't require a "crisp" appearance. I, too, am a b-i-g fan of the Eagle Creek Specter Tech packing cubes and have retired my first generation Specters. The new series is s-o-o much easier to pack with the three-sided opening.
