The seasoned traveler is the guy you pass sitting in first class on your way to the coach cabin. The one who’s relaxed and unhurried, acting like the only natural thing in the world is to be taking this long hollow tube 30,000 feet up into the air with a bunch of strangers and landing in a new place on the opposite side of the globe. He’s calm because the things he carries maintain superlative creature comforts without compromising packing efficiency. His luggage is minimalist but essential. He’s experimented with and refined his travel companions until only the most compelling accessories remain in his quiver. He knows that not everything expensive is good, but the best often comes at a cost. These are the premium accoutrements to any journey, the picks that come from the refined palate of the guy who’s putting six figures of flight miles on the books each year. This is how to stay light and refreshed on the road with no less style than you would at home.
