Osprey Sojourn Wheeled Back Pack

Many travelers love to travel with a back pack, but find they have limitations compared to traditional luggage. For example, these types of bags can be hard on the back and can’t be wheeled like a luggage bag. Or can they?

Back packs on wheels may become the hottest new travel gear trend. The Osprey Sojourn is one example of an innovative wheeled back pack that gives travelers the best of both worlds. This model has a high clearance for easy rolling over different surfaces and compression straps to keep contents secure.

It also features a top zippered pocket for easy access to toiletries or valuables. The 45L/22″ model is made for the carry-on compartment, but Osprey also makes a larger 80L/28″ size.

Price: $300.00

Travelrest Ergonomic Travel Pillow

The travel pillow gets an update in the Travelrest Ergonomic Travel Pillow. It may look a little funny as it slings across your chest, but its patented design provides full neck support. It also prevents your head from falling forward while you snooze.

The pillow is inflatable and is ready to use after a few breaths. Take it with you on the airplane, road trips, the bus, and anywhere else you need to catch a few zzzzs while traveling. It deflates quickly and rolls flat for easy storage.

An optional plush cover is sold separately for added comfort.
