From power banks to pillows, we love testing travel products

One of the most fun parts of my job is testing out products to share. I love finding things that help make travel easier, more organized or just more enjoyable.

Not every product passes our test, like the kid’s pop-up tent that was prone to catching on fire or the protein bars that were universally disliked.

But we have shared plenty of wonderful travel products, viewable on our website.

These include the best carry-on suitcase, hiking pants, my husband’s favorite gift ever, camping gear for newbies and anti-theft handbags.

In this issue we share a high-tech backpack and foldable kayak.
