41 Must-Have Travel Products For Your Next Vacation
A waterproof Kindle that can carry an entire library's worth of books so you're always entertained during that eight-hour flight, that poolside vacay, or during some downtime in the Airbnb while you're waiting for your always-chronically-late friends to finish getting ready. After all, not only does it carry thousands of downloaded books, but the battery life lasts up to 10-freaking-weeks!! A capacious travel backpack to fit as many items as you can possibly jam-pack into it while still being able to slide it under the seat in front of you. It's able to zip open completely — yes, like a suitcase — so you can find whatever you need! It has plenty of pockets, a compartment just for wet items, and another for shoes. Or a wheeled carry-on bag that's so small that most airlines (yes, even the super strict local ones) will count it as a personal item since it can fit under an airplane seat. No need to carry the weight of all your important items on your shoulders; you can wheel it through airport security without having to pay those checked bag prices. A digital luggage scale so you're not zipping open your bulky suitcase right there on the floor of the airport's check-in counter and trying to stuff three different jackets into your son's backpack. Bring this puppy wherever the adventure takes you, and never have to worry about paying those exorbitant oversized baggage fees again! An airplane seat back organizer, because losing your earbuds in the endless void of the seat pouch in front of you is a really lousy way to start your vacation. This keeps your personal effects organized and on hand for that mid-flight boredom — no more having to stand up and reach for the overhead compartment to find your novel. Plus, this way, you won't accidentally leave behind your fave lip balm on the plane. Plus, a drink holder for my window seat people who don't want to try balancing all their personal effects, as well as their beverages, on the teensy tiny tray table that somehow gets smaller and smaller with each passing year. It even holds some other essentials, like your headphones, glasses, or phone! A kid's car seat lap organizer with a dry-erase board (that also doubles as a tray for snacks), a tablet holder, and so many pockets for their toys and markers. This will keep your little one entertained throughout the flight or long drive so that you're not having to hear, "Ughh, are we there yet??" every five minutes. A neck pillow you can stuff with clothing for sneaking in that extra outfit (or two) you just couldn't jam into your carry-on. It's the perfect way to utilize every single inch of space physically possible. Plus, you can make sure you have those spare clothes on hand if you need a quick outfit change once you land. A Quince hard-shell suitcase with a built-in TSA-approved lock because you always lose your loose locks and keys, and this will basically ensure your stuff stays locked and secure. This bag is spacious, includes a removable laundry bag for all your dirty clothes, 360-degree spin wheels, and a large pocket for additional storage. Plus, it comes in such cute colors, you'll feel absolutely luxurious as you strut down the airport terminal — no matter how little sleep you've gotten the night before. And an Away kids carry-on so your kiddo can finally push their own luggage through the airport terminal. The wheels feel smooth as butter to push, and the handle is the perfect height for your little one — but it can also be raised to an adult height if they're tired of being responsible luggage-handlers. Plus, the colors are so cute, you're gonna be tempted to get one of these for yourself! A set of packing cubes for smushing down any bulky articles of clothing into the perfect size to slide comfortably into your carry-on — no vacuum suctioning required. Or a pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags so you can pack three times the clothes without needing to spend that extra moolah on baggage fees. And there's no need for a pump either, since these bags can just be rolled up to suck out all of the air and keep your clothes as compressed as possible. A travel-friendly, foldable "flossing toothbrush" designed with "floss" bristles to reach between your teeth to banish those lil' bits of food stuck in your grin. After all, you don't wanna be one of those people needing to buy floss at the Duty-Free store after getting some sesame seeds stuck between your teeth. Chip Skylark himself will burst into song at the sight of your smile. 🎶My shiny teeth and me...🎶 A splurge-worthy set of Cadence Capsules for holding all of your needed toiletries together without hogging all the room in your luggage. The magnetic sides make it possible for you to organize these in the best way needed to fit in your case (without losing one). Plus, they're super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days' worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry. Or a TSA-approved 16-piece travel toiletries set so you can minimize the amount of space your bathroom essentials take up in your backpack. These bottles are perfect for carrying all your fave beauty products and are set in a leakproof bag, so you don't have to worry about getting shampoo stains on your clothing as you wheel your carry-on down the ramp. Some Tide sink packets, because a quick wash is absolutely necessary when you want to pack as few clothes as possible and are fighting the urge to pack 30 different undies for your trip. Just rip open one of the packs and pour it into any sink full of water — instant suds for a wash on the go. A Stow-N-Go travel organizer that comes with built-in shelves, so you don't have to completely unpack when you're only making a quick weekend trip. You can just pull it out of your suitcase and hang it in your closet. A waterproof travel cable organizer to keep all of your favorite small gadgets and chargers on hand and keep the mess of wires compact so that they're not taking up any much-needed space in your bag. A foldable jewelry organizer for storing your absolute *best* of friends. This folded case has several pockets and slits, so you can store anything from rings to earrings to necklaces without having to carry several bulky boxes that take up too much room. Don't deal with the stress of misplacing any of your favorite pieces; keep them on hand for those fun nights out! A compact I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo so you don't need to carry around a bottle of your favorite aerosol version that's liable to take up wayyy too much space in your already overpacked luggage. This lil' baddie will become your absolute favorite as it comes in a compact travel case, soaks up excess hair oil, and volumizes your locks so that your hairstyle will get compliments no matter where you go! A foldable water bottle because you don't want to spend the entire flight asking the stewardess for teensy tiny cups of water that you down in a single shot. Plus, it'll be incredibly helpful when you want to take a bottle of water onto the plane but don't have the time to buy one at the gate after spending hours waiting at the TSA line (which seemingly gets longer and longer every time you fly). An Airfly wireless transmitter that'll let you connect your AirPods (or any wireless headphones) to your airplane seat! Now, you won't have to use those uncomfy plastic earbuds the airline gives you — you can use the headphones of your choice while still enjoying the free in-flight entertainment that is offered! A set of Sea Bands for those who get nauseous when they even think about stepping onto a moving vehicle. By applying pressure to the P6 acupressure point on each wrist, it can help almost instantly relieve motion sickness! Time to burrow into your plane seat, or board that boat confidently — comfortable in the fact that the pesky nausea won't be creeping up on you. A pair of Mack's Earplugs that'll help block out the noise of the man snoring beside you, the baby crying three rows back, and the couple arguing in the row in front of you. A travel-friendly blanket-slash-pillow so you're always comfy, even when those budget airline seats seem to be getting harder and harder each time you book them. Use it as either a blanket or fold it into a pillow. And with the strap on the back, it can be slid onto your luggage handlebars for easy access! A pair of compression socks that can help your circulation, foot swelling, and pain — and make it easier for your feet when the plane altitude starts to soar higher and higher. You can say goodbye to the days of leg swelling and hello to *sweet* relief as you march countless miles through the winding alleyways of Mexico. A 2-in-1 hair tool so you're not trying to stuff two separate tools into your luggage — but you're well aware of the fact that you can't possibly survive without both a curler and a straightener. Plus, it's dual voltage for international travel! An international power converter to prove that you are always prepared, no matter which country you're in, as it works in over 160 different countries! Making an unscheduled trip you weren't quite planning on? Don't worry about carrying several different chargers or converters; this one device works pretty much everywhere. And a 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charging station so that you don't have to debate which of your chargers you need to leave behind, because carrying three separate wires takes up a ridiculous amount of space. This can charge your phone, smartwatch, and earbuds all at once! A handy travel wallet to hold all of your cards, money, and travel documents. It's thin enough to slip into the tiniest of pouches, and this RFID-blocking case can help protect your sensitive information as you catch that last-minute red-eye flight back to your hometown. And a waterproof family travel document holder for the parent of the friend group (or just parent in general), who needs to keep the whole party's passports and boarding passes safe on your travels — so that one friend doesn't accidentally misplace their documents while going through security. A luggage drink caddy because the most important item on your travel day checklist is the Starbucks drink you pick up as a reward after braving the tedious security line. This just attaches right onto your suitcase and has two large pockets — perfect for carrying that breakfast sandwich you couldn't resist ordering along with your favorite Refresher. A Cybex Coya travel stroller so your stroller doesn't get damaged or — heavens forbid — lost when tossed around in your airport's baggage claim. This is the perfect travel stroller to have once your little one is able to hold themselves up since it can easily be compacted, has a built-in carrying handle, can fit in a plane's overhead compartment, AND is customizable. Luxury meets convenience. An adjustable universal travel harness seat perfect for any little ones six months or up, so you can 🪄bippity boppity boo🪄 any ol' chair into a highchair. Now you can secure your kiddo when you find yourself at your airport Chili's, even when there's not a single highchair in sight. An Alleyoop 3-in-1 travel razor that's got everything you need for a quick shave on the go: a refillable spray bottle for easy skin prep, a shea butter moisturizing bar, and two triple-blade razor cartridges. This compact razor is the perfect addition to toss into your suitcase. And the 4-in-1 Alleyoop Pen Pal, so you're not lugging around a packed bag full of makeup — this one lil' pen has eyeliner, brow liner, lip liner, and a highlighter all in one. Just toss it into your fanny pack so you can make a quick touchup while onboard the plane. A makeup-removing cloth that you can easily carry instead of lugging around a huge pack of disposable wipes. This simple washcloth can safely go through TSA (since your regular full-size bottle of liquid certainly cannot), and all it needs is some water to wipe your face clean. An in-flight foot hammock you can hang on the arms of your tray table so you can start your relaxing vacation while thousands of miles in the sky. Reduce your chance of swelling by sitting back and elevating those feet. A fold-up duffel because, let's be honest, you're sooo gonna end up bringing back a lot more than you came with — don't you just love shopping sprees?? Pack this on your trip, folded up, and bring this duffel back on the plane filled with all your new things as your personal item. A garment and travel bag set you can use when you want to keep your fancy-schmancy outfit wrinkle-free. This bag is water-resistant and comes with a separate shoe compartment! You can use this as your carry-on so your all-important outfit stays safe from airport security. Banana Republic linen pants so lightweight and airy, you're bound to wear them on the plane, on your entire vacation, in literally every picture you take. Honestly, the only problem you'll have is choosing which color to get. And definitely make sure you snag the matching button-up, too.

Whatever an outdoorsy summer weekend looks like to you, whether it starts with a little Saturday morning hike or entails pitching a tent and lighting a campfire, having the right gear is crucial to creating a perfect adventure. Don't worry if you don't have everything on your packing list just yet, this big Columbia Sportswear pre-season sale has your equally big summer plans covered. The tried-and-true outdoor brand currently has nearly 2,500 items marked down during the rare sale. We're talking up to 40 percent off almost the entire site from now through Sunday, June 15. To ensure you can treat yourself to the top savings, an avid hiker scrolled through the sale to find the best deals on men's and women's hiking clothes, hiking shoes, travel bags, and more. This travel-ready dress has it all: versatility, comfort, hundreds of perfect ratings, and the highest markdown of the sale. The Chill River Midi Dress is made with Columbia's cooling and sweat-wicking Omni-Freeze fabric, which is thin and super lightweight in your bag. It also offers UPF-50 UV protection, so go ahead and pack it for the beach or any destination where there's lots of heat and sun. At 40 percent off, it's only $42. $70 $63 at Amazon $70 $53 at 'You know how you travel to a city and spend a few days there, so you need a city pant, and then you go someplace rural, so you need a hiking/paddling/wading pant? Well,' one reviewer wrote, 'these are the pants that do both.' On sale from $70 to $53, the Leslie Falls Pants II are built to defy rain and stains. Besides their durability, they are loved for their subtle stretchiness, adjustable cuffs, and abundance of pockets. $100 $65 at Amazon $120 $90 at As a frequent hiker who lives in these Columbia Konos TRS OutDry Shoes, let me tell you that $90 is a real steal. They truly are the only shoes I pack for hikes, city walkabouts, trail runs, road runs, and more. They are pure performance wrapped in a fashion sneaker, not to mention much less bulky and aesthetically cooler than your average hiking boots. Technical highlights include the adaptive Omni-MAX cushioning and OutDry waterproof membrane—even with a mesh upper, they keep feet dry in wet and muddy conditions. Sun protection is everything. Keep your shoulders and arms covered with a proper sun shirt like the Sun Trek tee this summer. Columbia's UPF-50 Omni-Shade material is made with tightly woven fibers that block out UVA and UVB rays. While it's perhaps not the most natural thing to wear on a hot and sunny day, reviewers say it's plenty cool and comfortable for that kind of climate. Right now, every shade—white, butter yellow, soft coral, and pale blue—is 25 percent off. $50 $38 at Amazon $50 $38 at A skort is the easiest way to instantly elevate a hiking outfit. On sale for $38, this practical shorts-skirt hybrid can be customized to your preferred length with cinching side seams. The material repels stains, too, so you stay clean enough to celebrate a summit with, say, a wine tasting at the nearest vineyard. It's 'great for everything,' according to reviewers; one wrote that they wear theirs 'for sightseeing, hiking,' and 'to the beach or dinner.' $36 at Amazon $60 $36 at A jumpsuit is arguably the most effortless and versatile travel outfit there is. This Anytime Tank Jumpsuit is subtly stretchy with an adjustable drawstring waist, and reviewers say it's a must-have for summer. 'Southwest Florida has very hot and humid summers,' one wrote, 'and this is my go-to for sweltering days.' When the temperature peaks in a couple of months, you'll be glad you took advantage of this 40-percent-off price. $30 $23 at Amazon $30 $23 at Time to replace your worn-out adventure shorts? This pair has all the features you'd want: water resistance, sun and stain protection, breathability, and a zippered back pocket for under $25. One reviewer called them an "outdoor enthusiast's wardrobe staple' because they're fit for just about any activity. Wear them hiking, cycling, kayaking, camping, and more. $33 $25 at Amazon $33 $25 at A belt bag is not just a thing of convenience but also an anti-theft measure for everything from shopping at busy markets to sleeping on trains. Columbia's Zigzag 11 Hip Pack has a 1-liter capacity across its two zipper-secured compartments. With the adjustable strap, you can wrap it around your waist or throw it across your body, whatever is comfiest or optimal for the activity. It comes in two-tone yellow and purple, all black, and a rich teal color. $70 at Amazon $70 $53 at This essential Skien Valley sun hoodie is marked down from $70 to $53 through this weekend. The UV-blocking material is also made with a special cooling technology, so don't worry about overheating in a long-sleeve shirt this summer. And don't worry about getting eaten alive by bugs either. The top features the brand's adventurer-favorite Insect Shield, which is a trademarked technology that weaves permethrin into the fibers—permethrin repels mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and chiggers. $35 $33 at Amazon $35 $26 at Columbia put 'packable' in the name of this sun hat because it folds into a third of its size without creasing or losing its shape. Snag it now while it's 25 percent off and stuff it in your suitcase for beach days and camping trips this summer. $45 at Amazon $45 $34 at It seems to be an average tee, but the Wild Springs Short-sleeve Shirt is more technical than it looks. It's made with a cooling technology, Omni-Freeze Zero, that absorbs moisture and pulls heat away from the body with special, sweat-activated blue rings built right into the fabric. These rings are even sweat-activated, so they start absorbing moisture the moment you begin to perspire. Cool, right? $65 at Amazon $65 $49 at Not your average hiking pants, these Brea Falls bottoms have a leveled-up trouser look to them. They're loose and flowy in the legs and fitted with an integrated, removable belt at the waist, and the cuffs seal tight around your ankles with a drawcord, making it easier to keep out dirt and bugs. One traveler who bought them for a hiking trip in Costa Rica said, 'They exceeded my expectations as they are breathable and protected my legs from insects and the sun," adding that they're "very fashionable" for casual wear off the trails. $45 $39 at Amazon $45 $34 at Columbia's signature Performance Fishing Gear button-up shirt is a classic. Though it was technically designed for casting a line, you can wear it for more than angling—try hiking, boating, camping, and beach hanging. With its ultralight, moisture-wicking material and breezy back vents, this Slack Tide Camp Shirt goes the extra mile to keep you cool. Details like the hidden interior pocket and soft patch for cleaning sunglasses are bonus selling points. $55 $40 at Amazon $55 $41 at These 98-percent cotton Flex ROC Pants are the ultimate utility pants for work, travel, and outdoor activities. They've been 'my go-to pants now for over a decade,' says one reviewer. 'The reasons are simple: zipper pocket to secure my knife, multiple belt loops to provide a snug fit… Once the sad day passes and you retire the pair from casual wear, press them into chore service like mowing the yard or busting firewood. I promise you they will not let you down.' At 25 percent off, they're now only $41. $100 $75 at Amazon $100 $75 at Newton Ridge Plus II Waterproof Hiking Boots are not just a Columbia top-seller but also widely considered to be one of the best hiking boots on the entire market. They have almost 2,000 ratings on Columbia's website and 8,500 more on Amazon. Reviewers have said that the boots lasted them up to seven years and remained waterproof after 2,000 miles of hiking. Countless say they're also the most comfortable boots they've found. For a shoe that could carry you through the next almost decade of adventures, $75 seems like a no-brainer. Love a great deal?

Implied Volatility Surging for Allegiant Travel Company Stock Options
Investors in Allegiant Travel Company ALGT need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the July 18, 2025 $120 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today. Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Allegiant Travel Company shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Allegiant Travel Company is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Transportation – Airline industry that ranks in the Top 19% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analyst increased the earnings estimates for the current quarter, while five have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from $2.28 per share to 84 cents in that period. Given the way analysts feel about Allegiant Travel Company right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there's a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected. Check out the simple yet high-powered approach that Zacks Executive VP Kevin Matras has used to close recent double and triple-digit winners. In addition to impressive profit potential, these trades can actually reduce your risk. Click to see the trades now >> Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
