Protect packed clothing from nasty shoe bottoms. Also: All three pairs go from luggage to hanging in the hotel closet in one quick move.

Always thinking you should get one of those little pouches that unzips into a huge bag, to carry purchases on your return trip? Go for it: This nice, big duffel’s on winter clearance for less than half-price.

Portable tablets that transform an unassuming glass of water into a great-tasting, electrolyte-laden, carb- and sugar-free drink. Like popular sports “ade”s, but without the toxic colors and sugars. They dissolve quickly, sans fizz, and travel fantastically in their little plastic tube, ready for any vacation hydration situation (extreme heat, illness, mega hike, hangover). I’m a big fan of the Orange Ginger flavor.

To contain—or protect from—wetness in a pretty manner. Good for damp bathing suits, wet bibs, wee toiletries or small electronics. This one’s the smallest version, at just 8″ X 7″. Keep in mind that they’re all handmade, with lots of fabric patterns available.

Warm white wine? Puh-leeze. Deflates to pack flat.

Keep it packed with your essentials so it’s easy to move—no, transfer—them from bag to bag. While you’re out sightseeing, for example, slip it into your larger tote or backpack to keep iPod, phone, camera, keys and such handy in its many pockets and slots. When you’re ready to travel lighter for, say, dinner, or a night on the town, it’s cute enough to stand on its own as a clutch. Comes with a slim attachable strap, in case you prefer an over-the-shoulder style.

Kate Spade’s alternative to the clear quart-sized Ziploc required to house liquids and gels headed through the airline security. Of course it’s trimmed in cowhide, featuring 14-karat gold-plated hardware.

Switch out the regular strap on a travel bag containing valuables—camera, laptop, passport—for this superhero version. Those are screw-down metal nuts that connect it to your bag, and the entire thing’s woven with metal cables, making it slashproof. Great for walking around, but you can also connect it to your train seat or cafe table-leg so you can safely relax with a catnap or a glass of wine without being on guard the entire time. PacSafe makes a specific camera strap version of this, too.

Keeps electronics cozy, dust-free and ready for action. Includes one bag specifically for that tangle of charging cords.

Made of FDA-approved food-grade recyclable plastic, so rest assured you’re not harming the planet or your health when re-using these on the road. Love the travel strap and the wide mouth, for easy ice cube insertion, plus the fact that they retain cold twice as long as conventional bottles. Dishwasher and freezer safe.
