In some cases, the best travel companion isn’t a guide or best friend — it’s a pack. The Boblbee GT 25L, a Point 65 Sweden product, specializes in rugged travel (think backcountry skiing or mountain biking). On top of Level 2 spine protection, the pack also has a protective ABS shell that reduces impact by 88 percent. This way, it basically acts as a helmet for you back. Other specs include a water-repellent top cover, a sail-grade bungee cord lock, and room to hold a 15-inch laptop. packs.point65.com

The Roll blasts out audio in every direction, has a wireless range of 65 feet, a 9-hour battery life and is waterproof enough to be submerged. $99
