The Best Travel Tech in 2019

There’s a time and task for our everyday tools, but there’s one category that’s equally important to prepare for these days. Between smartphones, laptops, and all the different ways to work, enjoy media, and communicate, having the right tech—especially while on the move—is essential. But we’ve got you covered. In this list, we take a look at awesome and useful tech you can add to your EDC to make your modern commute both practical and fun.

Ghostly x RPMFG Dyneema Backpack

As far as carry capacity goes, it's hard to beat a classic daypack. But for all those times you need a little more storage space than your pockets provide, and you don't want to weigh yourself down with a bulky backpack, your options are fairly limited. 

Hikers and ultralight backpackers have a secret weapon against this conundrum: Dyneema composite fabric, also known as Cuben Fiber. The fabric is durable, waterproof, and ultralight. It's the foundation of this collaboration backpack from Ghostly x RPMFG's Ryan Perkins, combined with a well-proportioned and thoughtfully organized design that makes it just right for a high-capacity, low-weight EDC. 

It's more compact than most daypacks at just 12L, but it also wears like it's barely there thanks to its 10.5oz weight. A roll-top design provides waterproofness and expandability if you need to carry more, while a sealed zippered front pocket grants quick access to gear you need in a pinch. And unlike other ultra minimalist packs, the Ghostly x RPMFG Dyneema Backpack features two internal drop pockets for essentials like a tablet or a 15" laptop. 

Finally, details like a German AustriAlpin COBRA buckle, 3D spacer mesh back panel, and made-in-USA construction round out the bag's premium features. If you've been looking for a durable, low-profile, ultralight backpack with functional organization and thoughtful details, don't miss the Ghostly x RPMFG Dyneema Backpack available at the link below.

Clip & Carry Kydex Sheaths

Multi-tools have found their way into the daily carry of a lot of EDCers, and beyond the black leather or nylon carry cases they usually come with, a few tougher, more convenient and more colorful options are now available for EDC. These new Kydex sheaths are made by Clip & Carry, a new sister brand of EDC and rescue tool manufacturer StatGear. The material itself is known for its rigidity, low flammability, and water and abrasion resistance. They are made in the U.S.A. by a military veteran and are guaranteed for life, ensuring the protection of the tools you rely on every day.

The sheaths feature adjustable retention that allows you to tune just how tight they hold on to your multi-tool and how easy they are to deploy—go tight for the rough and tumble days, and a little looser for the working days where they’ll get a lot more action. Most models include a heavy duty belt clip, while the smaller ones—such as the one for the Leatherman Squirt or the Gerber Dime—allow for keyring attachment, giving the  tools more protection from scratches and damage rather than dangling them unsheathed with your keys.

Currently, Clip & Carry has designs custom fit to popular multi-tools, including the Gerber Dime, Suspension, and Suspension NXT, as well as the Leatherman Squirt, Wingman, Sidekick, FREE P2/P4, and Wave/Wave+ models. Each model comes in a variety of colors and finishes to match the rest of your EDC, including plain black Kydex, black natural carbon weave, coyote brown carbon fiber, and even some eye-catching colors like red or safety orange carbon fiber. New designs and colors are added every few weeks, so your favorite tool won’t be left out for long.

If you are looking for a convenient way to EDC your favorite multi-tool in a durable material that comes in a variety of colors, check out the Kydex sheaths from Clip & Carry.

WingWallex Minimalist Wallet

Nobody aspires to have a giant wallet filled with cards. Still, many often find themselves in that situation, with a bulging pocket and a wallet bursting at the seams. One obvious solution to this problem is to pick up a slim minimalist wallet, but those usually mean that you need to make some sacrifices. Whether that be less space for cards or no real method of carrying cash, it’s not a compromise you want to make. That isn’t the case with the WingWallex Minimalist Wallet. Thanks to its unique design and ease of use, it offers similar capacity and access as traditional bifold wallets in a smaller, more pocket-friendly footprint.

Like your favorite EDC flashlight or knife handle, the WingWallex features an anodized aluminum and glass-filled nylon construction that makes it both tough and lightweight enough to carry around without weighing you down. Better still, it has RFID shielding “wings” to protect your information. Normally, you’d need to toss any receipts and abandon any hope of carrying cash with a minimal wallet. But the WingWallex takes a different approach and leans into that functionality instead. It can hold up to 9 credit cards without a problem and comes with an elastic band that comfortably holds any bills or important receipts that you may need to hold on to. Accessing all your cards is easy as well thanks to a spring-loaded clasp that displays your cards for easy picking. If you have a single card that you use most often, there’s also a quick access slot so getting to it isn't a hassle. You can also just stash your ID in there if you work in a building where you need to scan in.

If you’ve been looking to slim down your wallet without making practical sacrifices to your EDC, the WingWallex Minimalist Wallet might be the one for you. Not to mention it has a 5-year warranty so that if anything goes wrong, you have peace of mind. If this sounds like something you can see yourself or someone you know making use of, definitely click the link below to check it out for yourself.
