Yeti Crossroads 60L Duffel

View On Amazon View On Dick's View On Moosejaw.com

This synthetic travel bag is tough. So much so, that you can throw it off a ladder and it’ll protect your cargo without leaving any scratches or scuffs — seriously, we’ve tried. The bag itself is surprisingly spacious, with super-smooth plastic zippers and carabiners on both sides so you can squish it down really small. And, at 1.6 pounds, the only thing that’ll rack up weight on the scale is the stuff packed inside.

View On Nordstrom View On Allbirds.com View On REI

Built for everyday walking as well as running, these Allbirds are as close to a one-shoe-fits-all travel shoe as you’re going to find. I own a pair and find them very cushy, and newer versions are even better with much-needed extra grip. I also love that Allbirds mitigate their impact on the environment by using plant-based materials like eucalyptus, sugarcane, and castor bean oil as well as recycled plastic.

I never travel without my trusty Gore-tex Arc’teryx raincoat. This quality jacket repels water droplets to the point where they just slide off, and it’s a windbreaker, too. The jacket is easy to roll up so it won’t take up much space, and at 9 ounces it’s extremely light. Another nifty feature is that the hood fits over a helmet — something I’ve definitely done before — and if the jacket gets scratched, it’s less likely to tear due to the grid face fabric.
