Real adventurers know that preparations kick off an awesome trip long before the plane takes off. And when it comes to travel prep, packing the right stuff is key to a journey that’s safe and hassle-free.
If you’re a frequent traveler or planning a getaway soon, here are some smart and functional essentials to make your journey an enjoyable one.
Packing cubes
Everything has to be in its proper place, even when traveling. Travel brand Lewis & Clark has several sizes of lightweight, expandable packing cubes that will make arranging travel items a cinch. Featuring multiple colors and durable silnylon, a synthetic fabric that’s both water and stain-resistant, they’re essential for mobile and rough adventures. Mesh panels make its contents easily identifiable and properly ventilated. Packing cubes also make small electronics intact and clothing wrinkle-free.
RFID-blocking mini stashes
Identity theft is a real thing, and that’s the last thing anyone would ever want to happen to them while traveling. Thieves have a way to obtain personal information through breaking into RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips present in credit cards and several passports. Lewis & Clark’s collection of mini stashes (waist stashes, neck stashes, document organizers) comes with built-in RFID blockers. Made with TravelDry fabric, these stashes resist moisture, shrinking, dust, and mildew.
Portable coffee and tea press
Buying a cup of coffee every morning during trip can put a huge dent in one’s travel budget, but this doesn’t mean having to contend with instant coffee. Espro offers coffee- and tea-loving travelers portable coffee and tea travel press. Espro’s patented double filter separates the grit from the cup; taste levels are controlled as the press stops extraction, and the paper filter press coffee option makes you have pour-over style coffee even on the go. It has stainless steel double-wall vacuum insulator and leak-proof lid.
Collapsible water bottles
Bringing reusable water bottle during trips is good for your budget and the environment, but while this item comes with several benefits, it can be a hassle to pack a bulky container. For this, Hydrapak has developed Stash, its line of collapsible water bottles that allows you to carry water with ease and lightness. Stash can reduce its size to around one-fifth the filled size, making it a compact travel companion.
Lewis & Clark, Espro, and Hydrapak are available in all Urbanize stores. Urbanize is located at Gateway Mall, Shangri-La Plaza, U.P. Town Centre, Glorietta 3, Uptown Mall BGC, Alabang Town Centre and Kiss & Fly in NAIA 3. It is also available in Soledad Nuvali, Serin, and The District in Cavite.
