Our Reviewers’ Picks of Underrated, Useful Travel Gear
A Universal Travel Adapter with 3 USB-C Ports A universal adapter, like this Epicka model, allows you to plug pretty much any device into pretty much any electrical outlet you come across in your travels; our favorite also includes 3 USB-C and 2 USB-A charging ports, plus a spare fuse. 
A Durable, Convertible Wheeled Backpack Rolling luggage is great except when you hit trails, metro stairs, or cobblestone streets. Backpacks are fine but who wants to carry them for long? A sturdy, full featured rolling backpack has accompanied us for years on the road. 
A Travel Speaker We use our favorite road speaker to animate small parties, indoors or outdoors, anywhere in the world. At just the size of a tall beer can, the Ultimate Ears Boom 3 sounds impressive and has solid bass, especially placed on a hard surface in the center of the room. We have smaller, even more portable picks in our review.
