Bellroy Classic Backpack Third Edition

The Classic Backpack Third Edition is a fresh take on a respected Bellroy mainstay, bridging the gap between heritage and modern styling. Bellroy’s new take on a popular style includes a recycled, air-texturized polyester that mimics cotton’s warmth and softness but adds in the durability of synthetic fabric. Updates don’t stop there: the backpack also features a vertical front admin pocket, 16-inch padded laptop sleeve with integrated document slip, a contoured back panel and a horizontal luggage pass-through.

Pelican ATX Travel Series (Iron Clay)

Pelican’s award-winning hard-sided luggage gets a vibrant, limited-edition reissue with some sneaky benefits. These include a polycarbonate shell, integrated combination locks on their latches (which are TSA-compliant,) as well as telescoping handles (which sit flush against the bags’ back, so no awkward rail bumps) and 360-degree rotating, easy-glide wheels. The interior of both the 22-inch and 30-inch luggage include handy compression straps, zippered mesh pouches and more.

Evergoods Civic Daily Tote 24L

Hyper-functional design and an easy-to-carry, streamlined silhouette make this bag the ultimate EDC contender. The 2-pound, 9-ounce Civic Daily Tote 24L features an exterior shell that is constructed from a custom-developed ballistic woven 840D Nylon 6 with DWR coating. The main closure is magnetic and easy to open, and freestanding handles use hidden magnets to stick together and stay upright. Exterior quick-access pockets (one zippered, one open) for frequently required flat items like your phone, documents or pens boast tons of utility.

Patagonia PowSlayer Backpack

What was designed as a backcountry pack has quickly established itself as a capable travel bag, thanks to a few features that work as well off the slopes as they do on the mountain. The PowSlayer’s dimensions meet TSA-guidelines, which is a great start for seamless travel days. Exterior mounts and internal storage originally designed for snow gear make great on-the-go organization no matter where the road takes you. Padded straps and a clamshell back panel round out the bag’s wanderlust-friendly features.

Osprey x Houdini Allt 30

Osprey and Houdini recently joined forces to release two backcountry-ready packs that feature tons of functional features, as well as sustainable design. The Allt 30 sees an external cinch paired with internal roll-top, which keeps weather out, and a stash pocket hidden under the roll-top adds to clever storage options. At least 70 percent recycled content is used in the Allt’s main fabrics, complemented by a 100 percent recycled liner and mesh made with at least 75 percent recycled content.

Norda “Cinder” Toolbox

Norda’s latest update to its massive 70-liter duffel, the Toolbox, comes in the form of a new colorway, which helps disguise scuffs and marks — and hides a groundbreaking material development. The duffel’s custom “Cinder” color is applied to Dyneema fabric, which is notoriously hard to dye, due to its unique chemical structure and tensile strength. Due to that complication, the bag is is only available in very limited quantities, underscoring its rarity — and helping to explain its high price.

Filson Medium Mackinaw Wool Duffle

Filson’s latest travel bag co-opts the classic Mackinaw Wool Cruiser‘s heavy-duty wool exterior for a duffel that’s high on style, heritage and time-tested ruggedness. The duffle features the same 24-ounce wool found in the famous outerwear, plus notable features like the use of Pennsylvania’s Wickett & Craig bridle leather across the design and a shoulder strap that is detachable via brass hardware.
