We also have alternate picks for ultralight and all-natural towels below. The Personal Towel also had superior absorption when compared with other similarly constructed towels such as the Sea to Summit DryLite and the Shandali UltraSport —in our tests, it absorbed 2.

One of just two we tested that featured an added antimicrobial treatment, the Personal Towel was only a little musty smelling after 24 hours in a sealed ziplock bag, and remained unchanged at 48 hours. Unlike most budget options, it has an antibacterial coating and still managed to carry a pleasant smell after being testing in different environments.

Travel gadgets that claim to reduce this misery, such as compression socks, are popular. But when they take up precious luggage space for the duration of your trip—not just the flight or train ride—they need to be worth every cubic inch of space.

Its tall memory-foam walls let it offer more support than any other pillow we tested. The uniquely angled back on the Travelrest Ultimate sets it apart from other travel pillows we tested because it can lay flat against the seat back. Most other pillows have a rounded back, which pushes your head away from the headrest.

The Travelrest also has rubber grip dots to prevent slipping while sleeping. With 10 levels of noise reduction to choose from, everyone should be able to find a setting that meets their needs. We also enjoyed the lightweight and comfortable design and the easy-to-use controls.

We have additional options—including earbuds and surprisingly good budget options for over-ear headphones and earbuds —in our full guide to noise-cancelling headphones. These blocked the most noise in our controlled testing and got the most votes from our subjective sleep panel.

Meanwhile, the Howard Leight MAX1 might be a favorite from crowdsourced sleep-aid review site Sleep Like the Dead , but the earplugs would inevitably fall out in the middle of the night.

They come in a plastic case is about the size of a large coffee mug, which is small enough to toss in a large bag or suitcase. The lightweight and contoured Nidra mask is a light-blocking win for most face shapes, with deep eye cups that allow the wearer to blink freely and arrive feeling refreshed.

When bright lights hamper peaceful shut-eye, we recommend the light-blocking, contoured Nidra Deep Rest sleep mask. Of the 20 masks we tried over two rounds of testing , the Nidra blocked the most light on the most faces.

This design provides more space for your eyes to flutter during REM sleep, ensuring that you come through red-eye flights with less redness in your eyes.

A silken exterior material, a flat design, and an adjustable strap make this mask a fit for almost any face, but it puts pressure on the eyes. It lacks contoured eyecups and thus applies some pressure to the eyes overnight like any regular eye mask does.

But its flat design easily conforms to fit your face, and its silk exterior feels smooth and soft against skin the padding is made of cotton.

It makes scratchy motel and hostel linens a lot more bearable. A silk sleeping bag liner is a great way to insulate yourself from scratchy, cheap, poorly maintained linens you might find at a hostel or motel.

This makes silk superior to cotton, which becomes uncomfortable as soon as it gets moist, and synthetics, which retain smells more readily. Silk is also super strong, and its light weight means manufacturers can give you full body coverage in a compact package.

Our favorite is the Sea to Summit Premium Silk Travel Liner , which is available in a variety of sizes, including regular, long, and even double for sharing.

Whichever you pick, it will pack down to about the size and weight of a medium-sized apple. We have also used this for sleeping on long plane flights with great success. Cocoon and Rab are the only other options when it comes to percent silk liners available online and backed by a real company with a warranty, but those come in only one size.

Few things are better than landing at an airport, turning on your phone, and having it just work. No hassles, no stress, no worries about brutal roaming fees. You can check in with loved ones, scope out the route to your lodgings, and maybe post an Instagram story or two—because your phone works just like it does at home.

This is especially freeing, and it makes travel so much easier. Unless your carrier offers plans including high-speed data that you can access internationally i. Being able to access data-guzzling apps like Google Maps or Google Translate on the fly is worth the hassle to unlock a phone.

Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp are free, easy ways to communicate with people you meet on your trip and people from home. With a prepaid SIM, your phone effectively becomes a new phone with a new now local phone number.

Your phone will also require a removable SIM which most newer phones have. Most countries require a passport or other ID to buy a prepaid SIM without a contract, but switching the SIMs is easy.

The next question is easily the most complicated: Can you unlock your phone? Each carrier has different rules and criteria. The thing to remember is that a provider can deny an unlock request without giving a reason.

You might be lucky, though; certain phones on certain providers are unlocked by default. Alternately, you can buy a pre-unlocked phone just for travel.

Amazon and Best Buy, for example, sell unlocked phones. This is also a good option if you think you might lose your expensive phone and a cheaper one will suffice while you travel. With four plugs that will work in most countries, plus faster-charging USB ports and more of them than its competitors, this adapter is the best all-around choice.

In a sea of almost-identical travel adapters, the Epicka Universal Travel Adapter stands out, combining the best of the features we look for. It contains the three most common international plugs and a US-style plug, which should cover you in the majority of countries around the world.

It has the most USB ports—four of the standard USB-A and one USB-C—of any universal adapter we tested, and it charged more of our devices faster. A replaceable fuse and an included spare should take the brunt of any accidental, unfortunate, or shockingly bad connections. The Epicka is fairly compact and well built, and it even comes with an extra USB cable and a nylon case.

Individually, these tiny plug adapters are smaller, lighter, and cheaper than any universal travel adapter. The tiny plug adapters from Ceptics are barely larger than the prongs they convert. Like our universal adapter picks, this set contains the three most common international plugs and the US plug.

However, it also includes a somewhat rarer plug used in some European countries that has two thick, cylindrical prongs. This means that the Ceptics set will likely cover you in even more places—as long as you pack the appropriate plug adapter.

These charts should help you find the shape you need before you order. Case in point: One Wirecutter editor visited Iceland a few years back. It turns out the mystery sockets belonged to an obscure Italian system from the s that was popular in Iceland for a time.

Luckily, the hosts had power strips in the house that her adapters fit into. Whether two-prong or three-prong, an adapter just changes the shape of your plug, not anything about the electricity coming through the wires.

This includes the vast majority of modern laptop and USB chargers. Products without some sort of power block at the end or with a non-detachable cord—in particular, things with heating elements like hair dryers and curling irons—are more likely to need a voltage converter.

But voltage converters are tricky devices, and most of the inexpensive ones have awful or dishonest reviews. Since hotels and hostels will often have hair dryers and most newer gear can do the full range of voltages, we strongly recommend that, whenever possible, you only bring items that work with a much simpler and more reliable adapter.

And unless you organize them, you can bet on having to blindly fish them out of the least convenient spot at the bottom of your bag. Unfortunately, our pick for carrying tech necessities, the Incase Nylon Accessory Organizer, has been out of stock for a few years.

It will, however, be coming back in , according to Incase. The Zendure SuperMini 20W is about as small and lightweight as a power bank can possibly be while still offering enough capacity to juice up most smartphones up to three times. Its USB-C Power Delivery PD port can charge most handheld devices and recharge the power bank itself at top speed with the included USB-C cable and a compatible wall charger the one that came with your phone will work.

The USB-A port can handle any older, non-USB-C devices you might have kicking around, too. Amazingly affordable with great optics, these binoculars have performance comparable with that of many models that cost thousands more.

Our top pick for binoculars is durable and great for near-home hikes. In hot or dusty environments that may call for a clearer optical boost, the Athlon Optics Midas ED 8×42 binoculars deliver top quality.

Its focus dial offers a wide range of depths that makes it easier to see whatever it is you desire—birds, grass or darkened areas of the forest. Our recommendation comes with the assistance of a professional ornithologist who spent over hours putting 17 pairs of binoculars to the test in the mountains of Southern California and the rain forests of southern Mexico.

The TrailSeekers are equipped with great light-gathering qualities, close focus, and impressive optical resolution. Those features bring it in line with much-pricier e-readers. The entry-level Amazon Kindle finally got an upgrade, with the same crisp display and USB-C charging as the pricier Kindle Paperwhite has and with double the storage space of the previous entry-level model.

Furthermore, e-texts will also work on your phone, tablet, and computer, thanks to the Kindle ecosystem. And in our experience, the implied way to carry a full one correctly—clipped to a backpack or belt loop—left them swinging around haphazardly.

Basic, light, and cheap, a squeeze bottle made for cycling is now our sincere recommendation for airport travel, and we like the CamelBak Podium in particular. Packing a stowable daypack, one that stuffs down to fit in your luggage when not in use, is a relatively small investment of space in exchange for a high return of function and flexibility.

After researching dozens of packable daypacks across a spectrum of portability, features, and prices, and then packing, unpacking, loading, wearing, and drenching the top-rated finalists during multiple rounds of testing, the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Travel Day Pack is the smallest and lightest packable backpack we recommend.

Packed up, it is very discreet: nearly the size of a keychain accessory. It has reinforced stitching at stress points, allowing the Ultra-Sil to carry more weight than you would expect. That said, since this pack is made of such thin, light material, carrying large or awkwardly shaped loads is somewhat uncomfortable, especially when compared with our more structured picks.

If comfort or waterproofing is important to you, check out the alternative picks in our review of packable daypacks for travel. Field Notes are cheap but contain high-quality paper that earns praise from pen and stationery geeks across the web. The synthetic paper feels weird and can cause some inks to smear.

You should only get these if you really need them, because otherwise, they just feel unnaturally slick and are more prone to smearing ink. At least one user has said that the paper shows less soaking through when wet than the similar Rite in the Rain books.

The one caveat is that the synthetic paper will only work with pencils and certain inks ; thankfully, the Uni-ball Jetstream RT , our pick for best pen , definitely makes the grade. A good travel-size sewing kit allows you to mend a popped button or ripped seam on the fly—or even tackle more pressing issues like fixing a tent, sleeping bag, or backpack.

Standard travel sewing kits usually contain mediocre thread and plastic-handled scissors that break easily. They can also be hard to keep organized a truth we confirmed when testing six top-rated travel and full-sized kits.

Because the sewing pins are neatly stuck into paper inside a slim envelope and the three needles are housed in a mini glass vial, this kit also limits the risk of losing a sharp object in your bags.

and we also like the vintage-looking safety pins that come clipped together along with two small white buttons.

We do think it would be nice if the kit included a more durable measuring tape than the paper one included, but overall everything about this kit is leagues ahead of anything else we considered.

This is a solidly built, easy-to-find umbrella that holds up in high winds. It also comes in a variety of colors. An umbrella you take traveling should be small, light, sturdy, and affordable. After putting in 66 hours of research and evaluating a total of 48 umbrellas across five rounds of testing including one thunder-snowstorm , we found that the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella is the best umbrella for most people.

The Repel folds up to an 11½-inch long, ounce package that fits easily into most bags and glove boxes. And it forcefully expands at a touch of a button to reveal an ample inch-diameter canopy that protects your head and torso from precipitation in all but the windiest of conditions.

Its lengthy, textured handle is easy to grip for hands of all sizes. a packing cube full of underwear and socks. The resulting bundle is compact and has no sharp creases that will require ironing out later on. But unpacking is a good habit to get into anyway, as it allows your clothes to breathe and avoid wrinkles or mildew.

Wirecutter founder and frequent traveler Brian Lam says that unpacking the moment he enters a room has a grounding effect that allows him to feel a bit more at home in a new environment.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle for you, you can do what we did before we found out about bundling: roll up your socks and underwear tightly and place them in packing cubes, then put your wrinkle-prone items shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, jackets in a garment folder—we used the Eagle Creek Pack-It Reveal Garment Folder.

Though the garment folder is not quite as space-efficient as the bundle method due to the added bulk of the folder and folding board, the plastic backboard does go a long way towards preventing wrinkles. A big thank-you to the Hotel Lucia in downtown Portland, Oregon, for lending us a suite to use for the photos in this guide.
