Traveling is a wonderful way to expand your worldview as you grow and learn about new people, cultures, and areas. We’ve put together a list of great problem-solving travel products to consider packing to make your journey a little easier and more organized.
Travelon Digital Luggage Scale
You are taking that bigger suitcase, because you want to, just make sure you’re not paying extra for it! Be sure to check your airline’s weight restrictions and avoid overweight baggage fees (airlines can charge you anywhere from $50 to $200) by weighing your bag before you head to the airport.
This lightweight portable luggage scale is a great item to have on hand – especially for chronic over-packers – and is easy to use; just hook it around the handle of your bag, lift, and wait for the readout in either Lbs. or Kgs. weighs bags up to 110 lbs./50 kg. and adds only 3 oz – including the batteries that come with it – to your packed bag.
Expert tip: If you check in online or use your airline’s app, you can electronically check in 24 hours before your scheduled departure, so all you have to do is check your luggage, get through security, and reach your departure gate with time to relax before boarding.
Travelon Waterproof Pouch
Between ziplining in the rain forest and scuba diving in the ocean a waterproof pouch is a must! – relieve the constant worry of your smartphone falling out and being ruined – along with priceless photographs.
The Travelon waterproof pouch will hold larger phones, like the iPhone 14, and the case gives watertight protection up to 30M/100ft. With snap & lock access, it keeps out snow, water, sand, and dust. The crystal-clear TPU window makes it easy to take crystal clear pictures and videos, even when you’re underwater – which makes it great for beach vacations and cruises. In addition, it has a lanyard that can be worn around your neck, and it can float!
Expert tip: It’s also handy for protecting credit cards, room keys, wallets, and more.
Travelon Packable Backpack
If life is a journey, then this is the must-have accessory to take with you. This lightweight backpack folds into its own pouch. It is the perfect “just in case” backpack for shopping, day trips, or once you reach your destination as an extra bag to carry home new treasures! Purposeful, practical design durably sewn and lightweight material is water and dirt resistant. Breathable, no shoulder stress straps are designed to reduce shoulder aches, and their sweat-free construction prevents annoying sweat stains.
Expert tip: Never pay an airline fee again by always keeping the packable backpack in your suitcase – just in case.
