We have taken our travel gear from the snowy shores of the Sea of Japan to the baking sun on the Arabian Sea, and after > 100 days of field testing, want to share our thoughts on what pricey items are worth their weight in gold and which things are not worth the weight they add to your bag.

Gear We Love:

Backpacks that are carry-on and hiking friendly

A multi-port USB hub that’s ready for travel and small

Packing Cubes that keep everything in small, organized spaces

A packable travel towel that is quick drying but still comfy

Like Wet Wipes but Better!

Gear We Have Reservations About:

The pinless style clothesline

Gear To Avoid:

This Waist Money Belt

Is there any piece of gear or category of stuff you’d like to know about? Let us know in the comments and we’ll add to this list!
