This List Tells You What to Buy to Travel Comfortably and Well


Having the right gear (and remembering to pack it) can make all the difference between an enjoyable trip and one that makes you wish you never left home. This shopping list from Wirecutter is a curated collection of the best travel items.

As with their party list, Wirecutter has spent hundreds of hours musing over which items are worth recommending, from binoculars and waterproof cameras to rolling carry-on bags and toiletry kits.

If you're not a frequent flyer, you might not need everything on this list (e.g., home security system or plug converter), but it's a great starting point if you're looking for expert recommendations for what to pack and buy for your next trip.
