Travel gear as thoughtfully executed as your itinerary. BY KATHY WITT

PRODUCT MANIFEST

Packing for a cruise or an extended trip may mean pulling out a roomier piece of luggage, and LiteGear Bags has just the solution with its 26” Hybrid Rolling Bag ($199.95). Organize everything you need, including dressier duds for cruise-elegant evenings and five-star dining, in this bag’s spacious main compartment with large mesh pocket for delicates plus three huge external zippered pockets. A zippered expansion panel kicks in an additional three inches of depth, yet the bag remains manageable on inline skate wheels. High-density molded foam technology coupled with soft-side front pocket panels equals one superlight and durable bag. Best news: LiteGear Bags are made of recycled water bottles so you can feel good about carrying them. A 20” Hybrid Carry-On ($159.95) is also available. Collection colors include black, mallard green, and royal purple. LiteGearBags.com

Never be without your water bottle, specifically, Contigo’s BPA-free AUTOSEAL® Kangaroo Water Bottle with Pocket ($13.99). Talk about utility and reliability! On cruises, you can chill the bottle overnight in your mini fridge for daily excursions or load up with ice thanks to its big mouth opening. Tuck your keycard, mad money and lip balm into the pocket pouch, clip it to your belt loop and hit the gangway. Bring your Kangaroo to the ship’s fitness center for spin class or treadmill session; the bottle’s AUTOSEAL technology makes it leak- and spill-proof and the push button spout means it’s easy to grab a sip with one hand. With a protective spout cover to keep out dirt and germs, this top-rack dishwasher-safe water bottle comes in blue and purple. GoContigo.com

LiteGear Bags are a gorgeous example of what can be created with a reduce-reuse-

recycle philosophy set in motion.

The Kangaroo is Contigo’s “Wonda from Down Unda”

because of its pocket “pouch” and no spill-technology.

Baggallini’s lightweight avenue tote ($98) is a soft-structured sophisticate offered in water-resistant fabric in 10 different colors/patterns, including apple, pacific, and pewter cheetah embossed. An organizing dynamo, the bag has an interior padded pocket for laptop or tablet, a zippered pocket for essentials like cosmetics, glasses – even a snack – and slots for pens and business cards. On the exterior, a slip pocket with an attached ID tag is the perfect place to stow your smartphone for quick-grab access and a zippered pocket keeps keys safe and within easy reach. Thoughtfully constructed and highly functional, with both removable and adjustable cross-body or drop shoulder strap and hand-carry straps, it is the perfect go-to bag. Baggallini.com

Handcrafted of Italian Milano-style grained calfskin for a sublime Euro-sleek profile, this case featuring RFID-blocking protection gives frequent and world travelers as well as the occasional adventurer plenty

of ways to organize essentials. Ten card pockets run down the length of one side of the case; opposite, two flap pockets are sized perfectly for passport and trip itinerary, map, or multiple currencies. An outside access pocket keeps boarding passes handy. Available in black/terra cotta and coffee/terra cotta, the case sports hidden on-seam construction, a European easy-glide metal zipper with leather pull, and the company’s signature calfskin-lined thumb-slide ID window.
