Fjallraven Travel Belt

Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones

Layday Vista Travel Towel
Bringing your own towel keeps you better prepared for travelling unknowns (airport sink showers, for example). But the towel better be quick-drying, super absorbent and pack down extra small. This towel from Layday is all that, with zero poly or plastic.

Hydrapak Stash Packable Water Bottle
As more airports install water bottle-filling stations, bringing your own bottle makes far more sense than buying a $5 Dasani at the Hudson News. This bottle is about half as heavy as a hard water bottle and packs down to a quarter of its size when empty.
