We've reviewed over 300 pieces of travel gear. And about 100 of those products have gotten a video review on this KZbin channel. It can be hard to keep up with all that gear so we've decided to highlight some travel products that we think are, well, awesome.
This is some of the gear that our team always comes back to-both for travel and day-to-day life. We've tried, tested, and written full reviews on all of these products (and more). So if you're looking for more details, check out our full reviews.

I like every one of your ten awesome items here, bud. Nicely done and you have very good taste in travel gear (if I do say so myself). Thanks for yet another great PH review. As a side note, I loved that I could check out a quick review on so many items in a relatively short video clip here. I miss some interesting videos due to my own time issues so this really helped me doing it this way. Much appreciated!

[@PackHacker]

You got it, Nathan! Thanks for your feedback, we're glad you're digging the format of this video and that it's helped you cover a wider range of products more efficiently. And, we already know you have a solid collection going on, but do you have a favorite travel product? We'd love to know what product you're digging too! 😊🙌 - Rebecca

[@nathangriff6862]

@@PackHacker Thanks for the reply, Rebecca. Its always nice to hear from you. I appreciate your kind words very much. I do actually have a relatively new favorite 'travel product,' too. The Aer Duffel Pack 2 is what comes to mind right away. This carry on pack is just plain wonderful for 1-7 days (if you pack minimally). I get a great deal of pleasure from a couple of Osprey products, too. The toiletry roll is so nice and small when compressed yet it holds everything and is super light weight. I also routinely use the Osprey straight jacket (I think its called that). Its basically a wonderful 20L compression sack. I roll up my pants and shirts in there along with socks and underwear. I can easily compress 2 or 3 weeks worth of things in that sack. It also doubles as a bag for dirty clothes for the trip back. Its super lightweight with three straps to compress and it can fit (even) in a 25L backpack really well. Thanks for asking, Rebecca. I can go on and on with this topic, too. I hope I didn't do that here though. :)

[@PackHacker]

Anytime, Nathan! It's great to hear from you too! And, we get what you're saying, we could talk about travel gear ALL day long. 😄We're glad to hear that the Osprey StraightJacket Compression Sack is working well for you, it sounds super versatile which is ideal for when you're always on the go and living out of a backpack! 🙌 - Rebecca

[@landhausidyll3185]

Just a tip when you're in Japan, those Tom Bihn pouches and that last one, Topo design case, you can get exactly the same pouches and cases at Daiso or any 100¥ shop around Tokyo. I bought tons of these things while I was there in all different sizes and colors 😅 Not only they are cheaper but also good quality.

[@PackHacker]

Hey Landhaus - thanks for sharing your go-to with us! We're glad you've found some pouches that are working well for you and it's great to hear that they're still holding up well. 😊🙌 - Rebecca

[@plusgaf]

Those 100 bucks store are the best

[@sujoygupta5264]

Weird how amazing the quality at Daiso is. Cheers

[@zaneearldufour]

@@plusgaf I think 100 yen is about $1.25 (at least, that's the order of magnitude)

[@vals2534]

You are full of shit. All the cases at Daiso are absolute garbage and will rip in a few months. Plus they are made in China.

[@siriusmeixiu]

I bought the Thule tech pouch (black with teal blue liner) for a trip to Argentina based on this recommendation, and I have no regrets! I packed headphones, earphones, MP3 player, Kindle, portable charger, backup flash drive, and pen along with corresponding cords. It kept everything well organized and protected. I lost all my other pens except for the one in here. It also worked great for TSA. I just opened it and laid it flat in the tray so that everything was visible (caveat not all TSA officers may like this though) without all my electronics crashing around in a tray. This is the only bag that doesn’t look worse for wear after the trip as well. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@samanthalouis6636]

The Stasher bags and the Hero Clips are game changers!

[@amfarhan88]

Absolutely love your videos. Haven’t come across a channel which presents info in such a compact and organised way and is so truthful. Keep going

i love my thule subterra pouch but in the mini size. in it i can fit my leatherman skeletool, a tibolt pen, a marker, some basic first aid, apple's wired earphones, anker 10,000mah portable charger, iphone charging cable plus a jabra elite 65t with its casing! this is almost my must-have for eveyrwhere i go, be it locally or overseas!

[@PackHacker]

Hey Wei! Yes, we're digging it! It sounds like you've found a great system here and we love it when you can find a product that you can fit into your everyday life as well as your travels so seamlessly. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 😊 - Rebecca

[@9catlover]

an alternative to the humangear tubs is Kinder egg containers. I have one for storing vaseline, another for my b12 vitamins and another for when i take off my earrings. if only kinder made a bigger egg

[@PackHacker]

Hey cindy chan - thanks for sharing your travel hack with us! That's a great way to utilize items you already have and be more sustainable too. Plus, it's also a great excuse to eat more Kinder Eggs! It does look like the Kinder Eggs are slightly different from the Kinder Joy which are available in the States, but we're digging that you've found something that works so well for you! 😄🙌 - Rebecca

[@9catlover]

@@PackHacker Thanks for your reply Rebecca. Gosh little did i know kinder makes a uk version and a US version. Also when i watched your videos i assumed you were in the uk due the english guy talking. i should have known checking your links. I did get influenced by this one as I bought a hero clip, albeit a cheaper one. Always dangerous watching your vids. they are so good it makes me buy things i never knew i needed. And i definitely need a hero clip. p.s if you come to the UK please buy our Kinder Eggs :). i actually always buy 2. one for me and my sis as we like to compare the goodies inside like it's some kind of token sign for our lives 😄

[@PackHacker]

You got it! Pack Hacker HQ is based in the US, but Nathan and I are from the UK and we're BIG fans of the Kinder Eggs (one is never enough)! 😄We're glad to hear you've got your hands on a Heroclip, they come in super handy. Let us know how you get on with yours! 😊👍 - Rebecca

The Peak Design tech pouch holds two pairs of full size headphones and a powerbank plus its waterproof. How do you pack the tripod?

[@PackHacker]

Hey Michael - thanks for sharing your experience of the Peak Design Tech Pouch with us! How we pack the tripod really depends on the bag we're using. Sometimes we'll put it in a water bottle pocket for quick access and other times we'll just pack it inside the main compartment. 😊 - Rebecca

[@BrandonShi]

Amazing video! Been traveling so much, and saw some amazing products! Earned yourself a subscriber guys!

[@jannezack]

So what’s the deal with three sizes - medium, small and micro? What happened to S, M & L. Is there a larger version of these bags and things? It’s not like there aren’t more sizing options should you “use up” the S, M & L! (Mini, micro, XL, XXL).

[@boredandagitated]

JZ WakkiZakko there is a really big version that’s a L but it’s not on sale often

[@mdascoota4293]

I dont know how it is in other countries but we have so many different sizes, thicknesses and models of keys, it just doesnt work for me.

Hey m Dascoota! It's interesting to hear that this slimmer profile didn't work well for you. Thanks for sharing your experience with the community. 😊👍 - Rebecca

[@jeremyhendersonphotography]

[@shirazumm5716]

Guys, please suggest a way to carry a small p&s camera, like Ricoh Gr ii sketchbook, phone and kindle while travelling. Hip packs are too small for Kindle and sketchbook and backpacks are too big for all these.

[@PackHacker]

Hey! There's a couple of options for you to check out. One option is to check out some smaller backpacks. For example, you can take a look at the GORUCK Bullet packhacker.com/travel-gear/goruck/bullet-ruck-10l/ the YNOT Deploy packhacker.com/travel-gear/ynot/deploy/ the Fjallraven Kanken Mini packhacker.com/travel-gear/fjallraven/kanken-mini/ the Lefrik Handy Backpack packhacker.com/travel-gear/lefrik/handy-backpack/ and the Kanken 13" Laptop Backpack packhacker.com/travel-gear/fjallraven/kanken-13-laptop-backpack/ However, if you're looking for something a little smaller, you can also take a look at our larger slings and waist packs. These can now be sorted by capacity using our new filtering system here packhacker.com/travel-gear/category/bags-and-luggage/slings-waist-packs/?order=capacity Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any more questions. 😊 - Rebecca

OMG i was thingking of getting a door hanger since some bathrooms dont have a hanger built in the doors. clicked forward on your vid and saw the hero clip. This the perfect thing I'm looking for. no need to buy a 1lbs door hanger. thanks! you've really helped me out!

I love my stasher bags, I use them all the time, didn't know it could be TSA compliant. I was in a rush packing for my last trip so I threw my hair gel into a Zip lock which didn't work too well 😆 so I'm get the humangear go tub. I'll probably pick up the hero clip and tripod too. I recently had to put my bag on the floor of a public bathroom. 🤢 And I'm looking for a tripod for my phone. This was a very useful video! TFS! 🤙🌺🌴🌈

@GM T The humangear go tubbs are awesome. The medium size is the biggest you can carry in your 3-1-1 plastic bag. I use mind for Vaseline and different hair cream products. Has never leaked. Everything else has leaked, even nalgene containers.

[@shaun6828]

Most of these items can be replaced with some durable freezer bags. Cheap set of super light aluminum carabiners is definitely useful. Physical keys don't really seem that common an issue while travelling, but just a paperclip works pretty well for organizing them...

[@runwader]

exactly

[@elflakeador09]

I like the concept of most of those things but I think the majority of the stuff is unnecessary and a bit of gimmick. The reusable plastic bags are a great idea.

[@LouisLuzuka]

can the Thule subterra power shuttle plus fit a 10.5" iPad Pro?

After watching your video ordered a Thule Subterra Powershuttle Plus which is ideal to help with my headphones, cables, powerbank, adapters, passport etc for all the long-hail travelling that I do. I was secretly hoping when it was on its way that my Marshall Stockwell II poertable speaker would fit in it but I was not holding my breath. However, it's a perfect fit! I mean like it was custom made for it :) So now I have another one on the way as it really solves the issue for me. I'm in a different country every few months for my work and this setup rocks, it really sorts out my portable audio world. Thanks again :)

I see a Fjällräven wallet, I must click! lol But as a minimalist it is a bit too big for me to carry around. I use their Rucksack No. 21, with their gear pocket, and bag when I travel across the country. I like to keep things compact and not carry bulky things. Love their G-1000 material! Hiking and camping have their separate bags for themselves. I don’t like to use one bag for every activity. Great video btw! 👍🏼

[@finnigan16]

Does it seem odd to anybody else that there's not one, but two different companies here that named their largest sized product a "medium"? Seems like a sort of reverse "Our amps go to eleven", doesn't it?

[@PackHacker]

Hey finnigan16 - we get what you're saying, we realized this too when reviewing these items and putting together this video. It does take a second to get your head around, but we're sure there's a reason behind it. We'll keep looking into it. 😊👍 - Rebecca

[@finnigan16]

@@PackHacker I assume it's just a marketing choice. Someone packing a bag or carrying luggage is going to find smaller items more attractive, so label your products micro, small, and medium, rather than small, medium, and large. I just thought it was amusing since all these terms are relative, the word medium literally means intermediate, and came from the Latin term for middle, so you can't truly have a medium without a large... Yeah I've way over thought this.

[@SirPoofyPants]

I’m looking for a bag that would be great for a structural engineer. Looking for a bag that is comfortable and durable for a full day on a construction site. Can easily clip a hard hat to. And can have easy access to interior even when in cramped and uncomfortable spaces. I currently use a Swiss gear bag. It gets the job done but is not ideal (heavy and not allot of room). I carry drawings, a clipboard, an iPad, a small camera, and some tools (tape measurer, knife, level, etc.)

[@jefdby]

is the fjallraven passport wallet RFID safe? Or is that not so important ? traveling for the first time in many years.

[@PackHacker]

Hey jefdby! The Fjallraven Passport Wallet packhacker.com/travel-gear/fjallraven/passport-wallet/ is not RFID-blocking, but it's completely up to you and your travel style whether you decide to have this feature or not. We've found that while there are no hard numbers on how many RFID financial crimes are committed (it can be hard to determine how credit card information is stolen once it’s already been stolen), not having to worry about the possibility always provides peace of mind. You also won’t have to worry about your passport information or hotel key card information being collected by criminals with an RFID reader.All that said, the data is murky on how many of these electronic crimes have actually been committed. The thief needs to have an RFID-reader and be standing close to you. Plus, you need to have a credit card with an RFID sensor chip and most modern passports are already RFID-blocking. Hope this helps! - Rebecca

I don’t need the hero clip to hang up my backpack in the airport bathroom because there is another option other than putting it on the floor. Wear it! Unless you are taking a dump which I can think of nothing more gross than taking a dump at an airport.

It's the 'Always a Friday' guy - loved your travel video on Ghent. Where's your co-worker for these videos?

[@jcIsInURHouse]

I literally wouldn’t use any of these things

[@trd8749]

Yeah, use a hero clip to hang your bag on a hook, instead of using the handle to hang the bag that you just hooked the hero clip on to? It's like paying a middle man.

[@lordclancharlie1325]

Yeah, these gadgets are for people who never travel

[@javyacuna4380]

@@trd8749 Not every bathroom stall has a hook. That's the 1 I can use. But I agree with the rest

[@themisguidedpoet1570]

lol I only watch these for my OCD. Most of these gadgets just complicate things and cost quite a penny. Why would I pay premium dollars when there’s a cheap, obvious hack.

[@Camg55]

I’m confused about the use case the most these products for travel... A good travel pack would do most of what these products do without having extra weight and gear

[@PackHacker]

Hey Cameron - deciding on what products you need for travel really depends on you and your use case. If you prefer to have all of your items organized within your backpack, then perhaps some of these products aren't going to work as well for you. But, if you like to be able to just remove a pouch or transfer pouches into your daypack, or for ease at a co-working space then they can come in super handy. Plus, there's no product that's going to work for everyone, we just wanted to show you some of the top-rated travel products that we think are pretty awesome. Hope this helps! 😊 - Rebecca

Why do so many companies label their largest size (or in some cases not in this video their smallest size) as medium? It's idiotic. Small, medium, large. It's simple and makes sense. If you have more than 3 then use extra small and/or extra large. This trend really bugs me.

[@courtneyjohnson1137]

The medium is the largest.......🤔

Does anyone here know if the Fjallraven passport wallet is RFID compliant?

[@allwaysinquire6212]

Cant see why you would wont a heroclip i dont even use a carribiner cant see a point for travel or hiking! Climbing yes anything else nah. Looks like most things people do now days way too many things too many pouches and bags ditch them all take less stuff take more money! If your traveling in hot country 25ltr bag done. I spent 10 days in finland outdoore in winter (-30oc) 45ltr pack 8kgs you need to became a minimalist makes travelling way more fun.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, allways inquire! It sounds like you have a solid system and packing list going on. From our experience, we've found that what's on your packing list really does come down to you and your travel style. We've found that the Heroclip comes in handy for our type of travel, and it's great to have it there for when we need it without taking up too much extra weight! 😊🙌 - Rebecca

Thanks

I like the idea of a key organizer. However, when all car keys these days are giant bulky keyfobby messes with buttons, it's kind of pointless, no?

[@PackHacker]

Hey Brew! We usually keep all of the regular keys in the key organizer and then attach the car key/ fob to an attachment point. However, while this works for us, you've got to find what works for you and your items. 😊 - Rebecca

[@dxrl6641]

@@PackHacker yes but it's still pointless because then you just end up with a bunch of keys and a key organizer on it lol

Nice review 👌. For information my hero clip in medium size as been confiscated at the airport 😫😭. The explanation was that it can be used as an “American punch”... and it was too late to return it to my car...

[@PackHacker]

Hey Corentin Le Berre - thanks for sharing your experience with us, that's interesting to hear! So far we haven't had any issues traveling with the Heroclip, but due to the decision always resting with the TSA officer at the checkpoint, you can never say never. Did you end up getting a replacement for your Heroclip? 😊 - Rebecca

[@fallinginthed33p]

Why not just get a simple carabiner?

[@corentinleberre5729]

Pack Hacker I just bought a new one but will not take it with me if I only have a cabin bag. Maybe a small or mini will be approved but I’m not ready yet to try 😁.

If I was Tom Bihn I would keep an eye out for people who have Ton Bihn pouches. If I saw someone with one I’d call the police and tell them someone stole my pouch. I’d show them my ID that says Tom Bihn then tell them to see if my name is on the pouch. You sell them the pouches, then get em right back.
