Roll Up Travel Charger

Roll Up Travel Charger

In a perfect world, every electronic device would use exactly the same kind of charger with exactly the same kind of connector. You’d carry one charger with you and if your phone, ipod, toothbrush, or any other gizmo ran out of juice, you’d just yank that charger out of one device and plug it into the other. But we don’t live in that world. Our world has multiple incompatible connectors which demands that you build up a spaghetti mess of different charger cables, and it makes this world suckier.

The Roll Up Travel Charger from Restoration Hardware aims to de-suckify the world just a little bit. It puts multiple charging outlets on a single bar, with connectors for all the most common stuff: iPhone, miniUSB, microUSB, and Samsung. There’s only one power cord for the whole thing, which means you can charge all four devices at the same time on a single AC outlet. And when you’re done, the bar rolls up into a stylish polyurethane mat that’s easy to carry and never gets knotted up like power cord hell.

Tumi Ducati Collection

Tumi Ducati Collection

Ducati has always made bikes that get you places fast and look hot doing it. But what if you want to bring stuff with you? It’s only fair they should get into the luggage game as well.

Sure enough, they’ve partnered with Tumi for a collection of travel and lifestyle accessories that match Tumi quality with Ducati cool. Leading the way are three light weight travel cases made of Tumi’s special light polycarbonate blend and available in three sizes from carry-on to way big.

Also on offer: two duffel bags–one wheeled and one Sport–a Tank Medium backpack and a small flap crossbody bag. Each is a bold red and made in that sporty Ducati style.

The collection goes on sale October 1.

Travel Door Alarm | By Belle Hop

Travel Door Alarm | By Belle Hop

Staying in hotels can be dangerous with various people entering your room at all hours of the day to clean it, fluff your pillows and do weird things to your toothbrush. If you’re worried about intruders when you’re not there (or while you’re asleep), check out the Travel Door Alarm from Belle Hop.

Armed with a 91dB alarm, the Travel Door Alarm hangs around your room’s door handle and has a little sliver that slides between the door and the frame. When someone opens the door and breaks the connection, the alarm goes off, scaring the intruder away and alerting anyone nearby.

Plus, there’s a sweet flashlight built-in! $12 is a paltry sum to pay for peace of mind while traveling.

TravelTeq Trip

TravelTeq Trip

The TravelTeq Trip is a serious bag for serious travelers. Featuring a “kangaroo-style” front pouch for your laptop or favorite book, as well as enough room to store all your belongings for a long weekend, all while still maintaining an acceptable size for an overhead compartment, this rolling hard-shell suitcase is perfect for the frequent flier.

The best part, though? Slide the wheels out behind it and the TravelTeq Trip turns into an impromptu chair. No more wearing out the shape or zipper like on your old luggage. This is what James Bond would sit on if he were waiting for a red-eye out of Fresno.

There’s also a “Sound” edition of the Trip that features an integrated sound system – perfect for annoying your fellow travelers before and during a 12-hour flight overseas.

Samsonite Pro 3 Spinner Luggage

Samsonite Pro 3 Spinner Luggage

Navigating today’s massive and increasingly hectic airports can be more than just a logistical pain, it can become an actual pain as well. The stress on your arms and shoulders from dragging around that old suitcase – its two tiny wheels wobbling every time you slowly execute a 10-point turn – will take its toll after a while. Although that doesn’t have to be the case if you decide to check out the new Spinner Luggage series from Samsonite. Available in both 25” and 30” sizes, it rolls effortlessly on four multidirectional spinner wheels that allow 360 degree upright rolling in multiple directions, taking all the weight off of your arms.

Inside you’ll find an impressive assortment of accessories aimed at helping you stay organized, including a removable trifold suiter system, day pack/laundry bag, removable toiletry kit, and more pockets than your grandpa’s favorite shirt. The outside also deserves a mention, since its Ballistic Nylon blend fabric is stain-resistant against oil, frankincense, giraffe tears, and all sorts of things that will likely never come within 100 feet of your luggage. Still, it’s always good to be prepared… just in case.

Tusk Flatpack

Tusk Flatpack

For $450, James Danziger and Tusk has created a portable office on the go for any of you travel guys, who do a lot of work on the road. Cut from Italian nylon with calfskin trim, this is a classy piece of work with space for a 15-inch laptop, magazines, office files, maybe a book or two, all hanging snugly, safely and securely from the top handle, which can be opted against if you’re a shoulder strap kind of guy.

This thing has those, too. So wherever you’re going, and however long that it takes you to get there, the Tusk Flatpack promises to do the trick. The only thing you have to decide is whether you prefer black or chocolate–the two colors this thing comes in. Myself, I’m a chocolate lover, but to each his own.

Suspicious Suitcase Stickers

Suspicious Suitcase Stickers

I’m filing this under “W” for “Why the hell would you think this is a good idea?” In today’s nerve-racking travel climate, you need to keep yourself busy. You could watch footage of the 9/11 disaster on your iPod before the plane takes off, or you could amuse the bag inspection staff with the Suspicious Suitcase Stickers.

The stickers, designed to resemble a suitcase full of money, cocaine, a kidnapped female or sex toys, will make sure you and the head of security at Newark Airport enjoy a nice, private rendezvous in a windowless room three floors below baggage claim. Let’s just hope he buys you dinner first.

It’s free, and we’ll keep you up-to-date with all of the cool stuff we find! Cars, clothes, video games, movies, gadgets, you name it!
