Travel tech

He has recently come round to key organisers and likes how the keys swivel out.

Used as a tech organiser (a toiletry kit repurposed); the material and zips feel high quality.

The standard-size Bellroy wash bag holds his toiletries as part of a grab-and-go travel setup.

The best of around 15 backpacks he has tried, thanks to its weather resistance, many pockets and flat-opening compartments.

A leak-proof insulated bottle with a comfortable lip and rubber base.

Works like an AirTag but its card shape suits a wallet far better.

Clever ideas and comfy straps, but flimsy mechanisms and doubtful long-term durability; scored 5/10.

Protected an egg from a big drop, to his amazement.

Cool that it follows you, but the weak obstacle sensors mean he wouldn't trust it with valuables; 5/10.

Hugely fun to ride, but a weak suitcase with a tiny capacity and a doubtful website.

Easy to latch onto a wheel and looked cool once pedalling.

A tiny, good-value luggage scale that helps him avoid airport overweight fees.

Extremely thin folding sunglasses, 0.9cm folded, so thin he felt they could slice fruit.

Suitcase follows you via a bracelet, but he wonders about battery life and gives it 6 out of 10.

Interesting concept that reduces perceived weight when running, scored 6 out of 10 but it looks unfinished.

A backpack with a touch-sensitive panel for controlling the phone, handy but nothing you couldn't already do.

A travel adapter with four full-size USB ports that he plans to use regularly.

Probably his favourite OnePlus backpack, clean-looking and water-resistant with a handy magnetic buckle.

Tech-friendly backpack with lots of pockets at about half the price of the OnePlus one, and he wholeheartedly recommends it.

A product he has searched for for seven years, which hooks onto the seat in front for travel viewing.

A tiny four-litre sling bag, fine for phone, cash and a few books but not a full day's kit.
