1. For the one who can’t pack light: Away Large Suitcase

你是否在一个超长的旅程或just need to pack a ton of shoes, sometimes it's impossible to jam everything into a carry-on. That's why it's important to have a piece of thebest checked luggagemoney can buy.

Our favorite checked suitcase,the Away Large, has a tough yet flexible polycarbonate shell that protects its contents from being crushed. It also comes in a wide variety of trendy colors and is resistant to scuffs and dirt.

2. For the serious hiker: Deuter Aircontact Backpack

严重的徒步旅行者需要严肃的登山包, and words can’t describe how much I love my Aircontact from Deuter. I purchased mine years ago for a backpacking trip along the southern Mediterranean coast into the Middle East, and the bag survived wind, sand, rain, and more while carrying up to 70 pounds of stuff. And when my journey was over, only a light wash was needed to get the backpack looking good as new.

This lightweight backpack is entirely adjustable for different body types, while the back system keeps weight close to the body for effective load transfer. It's the real deal.

3. For the one who never checks a bag: Samsonite Flexis Softside Luggage

It's time we all admit that checking bags is kind of the worst. Between the financial burden of exorbitant checked bag fees, the possibility of losing your bag in transit, and the frustrating amount time it takes to wait for your luggage to clunk down the carousel after a long flight, checking bags is at best annoying, and at worst a nightmare.

Luckily, this Samsonite bag is a TSA-approved carry-on that will fit everything you need for a week-long trip—and it's thebest carry-on luggageyou can buy. Its 360-degree wheels and sturdy handles make maneuvering this thing through crowded airports a breeze, and it features 2,600 cubic inches of packing space with self-healing zippered mesh and water-resistant compartments. It strikes the perfect balance of affordability, features, and build quality.

4. For the weekend warrior: Lo & Sons Catalina Weekender

Weekend getaways are the special sauce that make stressful work weeks bearable. But it's hard to find the perfect bag for short trips that meets all our requirements: heavy-duty yet lightweight, spacious yet not overly large, practical yet stylish.

The organic cotton Catalina bag is closest thing we've found to that perfect bag. On one side, there're a pocket to store your phone, keys, and travel documents within reach, and on the other, a luggage sleeve that can slide right over any suitcase handle. The bottom even has a padded compartment to keep shoes separate from clean clothes. It's the perfect size and design for any weekend warriors in your life. If you're not looking for a weekend bag,their other bagscan also make a great gifts for different travel needs.

5. For the one with a messy bag: eBags Classic Packing Cubes

Packing is hard to begin with, but throw in the task of keeping your bag organized throughout your trip, and you've got an impossible task. Too often, my meticulously arranged bag becomes a hurricane of bunched-up clothes and missing socks after a few days. If this sounds like someone you know, you might want to gift them sometruly amazing packing cubes.

While it might seem counterintuitive to pack your bag full of more bags, these nylon, zippered pouches from eBags keep their contents organized and fresh, so you can rifle through your overnighter without fear of wrinkling your clothing or losing track of an outfit you really wanted to wear. They're game-changing.

6. For the chronic over-packer: Dr. Meter Digital Luggage Scale

I have a friend who always gets stuck paying last-minute bag overage fees at the airport. "My scale said 48 pounds!" she always exclaims to an unimpressed TSA agent who slaps her overweight bag with a "heavy" sticker and a $25 charge. Great as she is otherwise, don't be like my friend: Invest in agood luggage scale.

The Dr. Meter Digital Luggage Scale is the best we've ever tested. To use it, simply turn it on, attach it to the handle of your luggage, and lift. Since it only weighs about 3 ounces, you’ll never even notice it in your bag until you need it. And, unlike your scale at home, it will accurately measure all weight within a few decimal places.

7. For the one who wants to smell amazing: Le Labo Hinoki Travel Set

Known for its fine fragrances and candles, New York-based Le Labo offers sets for travelers looking to pack light without compromising the quality of their personal care routine. Full of flight-safe bottles, the set also gives a taste of the label’s most coveted range. Infused with plant-based ingredients, each formula is fragranced with hinoki, the sacred wood that has been used for building shrines in Japan for centuries because of its uniquely energizing aroma.

After testing the最好的睡眠面具on the market, we awarded this mask from Nidra our top spot. It feels like having personal blackout curtains for your eyes, and it won’t fall off in the middle of the night. The contoured design doesn’t put pressure on eyes, either, so you can actually blink while wearing it. Whether fitting in a nap or a full eight hours, you'll wake up well-rested (and in complete darkness).

It reduces redness and dark circles, and its world-famous formula gives my face an instant boost that's comparable to an actual spa session.

12. For the one who's always thirsty: Hydro Flask Water Bottle

It's so important to bring your own water bottle while traveling. First off, who has the kind of dispensable income to shell out $5 for a tiny bottle of water? Secondly, fresh water isn't always readily available and hydration is crucial: Becoming dehydrated on hectic travel days will only make you feel like a cranky garbage can.

This Hydro Flask is thebest water bottlewe've tested, and it makes life so much easier. It holds a ton of water yet easily fits in cup holders, and its spout is large enough to get a good sip without spilling all over yourself on bumpy car rides. Another win: The main lid helps keep beverages cold, while the flex cap seals the bottle tightly, which prevents water from dripping onto your chin or shirt.

Get Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Water Bottle on Amazon for $29.95

13. For the one with ankle swelling: Dr. Scholl Compression Socks

I always pack a pair of compression socks or leggings in my carry-on because my legs swell up like balloons after a couple of hours of flying. Compression socks can help increase blood circulation and reduce the risk of clotting on a flight.

I swear by the pair of Dr. Scholl’s compression socks I bought in Tokyo. They’re so durable that they always come out looking and feeling like new after I throw them in the washing machine. They're specifically made for the Japanese market, but I recently discovered them for sale on Amazon. But if the price is beyond what you’re comfortable with, Physix Gear also makes highly-rated compression socks with a more competitive price tag.

14. For the friend who always wants to sleep: Muji Travel Pillow

I find sleeping onan airplane near-impossible. The conditions have to be perfect: a window seat, a dark, warm cabin, and preferably an empty middle seat. Even so, I'll lurch awake as soon as my head lulls to the side (or, cringe, if I slump onto my seat mate). But this well-fitted neck pillow can convert anyone into a bonafide plane sleeper.

This Muji neck pillow is filled with microbeads that give support at every angle. The flexible design also means you can fold it into a traditional pillow, or prop it up under your lower back. It's a must-have for anyone who values their beauty rest.

This universal adapter doesn’t take up much space in a backpack or suitcase, its slim design won’t block other outlets, and it offers two plug outlets and four USB ports for charging multiple devices at the same time.
