Whether you travel all the time or just a few times a year, for work or for pleasure, far away or close to home, there’s one thing that’s universally true: traveling is a hassle. Trying to remember all of the necessities while still bringing along the luxury items that make our lives easier is a chore, and getting it all to fit into an easy-to-carry bag so that we’re not scrambling in an airport security line is even trickier. Whether you’ve got multiple trips coming or just want to be prepared when a weekend getaway makes itself available, having these travel accessories on hand will make a world of difference.
Save Space
- Patagonia’s Torrentshell Jacket– This waterproof jacket folds up into a tiny pocket complete with a clip for easy carrying. Never get caught in a storm unprepared again.
- Compression Bags– Make packing a breeze with these compression bags that allow you to squeeze every bit of space you can out of your carry-on.
- Jewelry Roll Bag– Keep all your jewelry secure in zippered sections and then roll the whole thing up for easy, compact storage.
Travel in Comfort
- Hooded Neck Pillow– Get some zzz’s in peace beneath the darkened privacy of this soft hooded neck pillow.
- Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones– Of course, true peace will also require you to drown out the sound around you, and Bose’s QuietComfort headphones top many lists.
- Comfortable Pants– When you need to look presentable but will be spending several hours sitting in airports and on planes, get the best of both worlds with Betabrand pants that feel like sweatpants but look like dress slacks.
Meet Your Tech Needs
