I Fly Back and Forth From LA to NY Multiple Times a Year—and I Always Wear These Comfy $27 Amazon Pants
When you fly back and forth from Los Angeles to New York five-plus times a year, you start to create little rituals to ensure that each flight is smoother than the last. For me, that means flying out of and into the same airports, using the same airline, sitting in the same seat number on both flights, and wearing my favorite travel pants: the G4Free Wide-leg Pants, currently on sale for $27. What began as an impulse purchase two years ago has now become a non-negotiable for any flight I take. I was drawn to the pants' wide-leg silhouette, which I always gravitate towards on travel days because of their non-restrictive nature (a blessing when you'll be sitting for nearly six hours and wearing compression socks). I know what you're thinking: Surely, flowy pants aren't hard to come by. In fact, I have several wide-leg sweatpants and yoga pants that could keep me just as comfy. However, they don't have the same look as the G4Free Wide-leg Pants—or the compression for that matter. The pants' high-rise waistband smooths over my stomach like my favorite workout leggings (while giving my booty a little lift, I might add). And, just like my go-to leggings, they give me the confidence and energy to power through a hectic day. When I slip them on, I instantly feel more put together, whether I'm getting ready for a red-eye flight out of LAX or mustering up the energy to make my 6 a.m. flight from JFK. Even when paired with an oversized sweatshirt or loose cardigan, the G4Free Wide-leg Pants never look frumpy, which is something I can't say about my other sweatpants and yoga pants. The sleek fabric and trouser-like seams make them look elevated, while the polyester-spandex blend provides a pajama-like softness and stretch. The lightweight, quick-drying design doesn't hurt either, especially when traveling from one warm climate to another. This is why the G4Free pants are way more than airplane pants. Long after I land, I can still get plenty of use out of them, no matter what my itinerary has in store for me—heading to the office? It's hard to tell the difference between these pants and work pants when they're paired with a nice top and shoes. Grabbing drinks with friends? The pants can be zhuzhed up to match the dress code. Sightseeing around New York City? Hitting the trails in L.A.? Going to Erewhon for a smoothie? The list goes on. My next cross-country flight is only weeks away, and guess what I'll be wearing? Yup: the G4Free Wide-leg Pants. I might even grab another pair, so I'll have double the wardrobe options when I'm back in New York. Keep scrolling to see the other travel-friendly wide-leg pants that you can score at Amazon for spring and summer trips. Love a great deal?

I Spent a Week in Europe With Just a Carry-on—and This $20 Flight Attendant-approved Hack Made It Possible
As someone who typically prefers to travel with just a carry-on bag, I've tried pretty much every packing hack to fit as much as possible into my suitcase. A glance inside will uncover shirts wound around hair tools, socks stuffed into shoes, and dresses tightly rolled into every crevice. I've become so confident in my ability to stuff a suitcase that I've typically been skeptical of packing cubes—that is, until my last Europe trip. You see, when I was recently packing for a near-week-long London trip, my usual methods weren't cutting it. Despite planning out my outfits for every day and night of the trip, my carry-on suitcase was overflowing. I decided to try packing with the Gonex Compression Packing Cubes, which are flight attendant-approved and on sale, and much to my delight, everything that I'd laid out to pack now fit in my carry-on. Apart from their space-saving magic, I'm impressed by how easy Gonex packing cubes are to use. They open from the top, allowing you to stuff in as many clothes as possible (which, trust me, I did), and close it like a pouch. Then, you simply push down on the cubes and use an extra zipper to manually compress them. All together, it's extremely satisfying to witness in action. I have the pink packing cubes, but this four-piece set comes in 19 styles total, including more neutral colors and a fun floral pattern that I'm tempted to order myself. They're sold in three sets depending on your packing needs: A four-piece packing cubes set, a five-piece set, and a six-piece set that includes four packing cubes, a toiletry bag, and a shoe bag. I opted for the four-piece set that includes one 17.3-inch by 13-inch extra-large pouch, plus the large, medium, and small packing cubes. The brand recommends that you pack larger items like jeans and sweaters into the larger cubes, while the smaller sizes can be used for socks and underwear. All four cubes are designed to fit together into your carry-on like a puzzle. However, my personal favorite way to use them is to start with the extra-large cube and work my way down if I feel I need more space. I've found that the largest cube fits perfectly into one side of my go-to Away Bigger Carry-on. The Gonex packing cubes have close to 1,500 five-star ratings at Amazon, with reviewers praising their high quality and durability. They're made with waterproof, lightweight nylon to alleviate some of your common travel conundrums: if liquid leaks into your bag, you don't have to worry about it getting on your clothes, and the cubes won't make your suitcase heavier. Each pouch also has a durable handle to make it easier to pull in and out of your suitcase. I was also excited to discover that my clothes didn't wrinkle any more than usual inside the packing cubes, since they are packed so tightly together. I recently put the packing cubes to the test once again—here's what my suitcase looked like before using them: Travel + Leisure / Rebecca Shinners But, once I packed everything into the Gonex packing cubes, I was left with more empty space. This ended up being the perfect spot to tuck my shoes so I wouldn't have to worry about them getting dirt on my clothes. And just imagine how much more I was able to fit into my suitcase once I convinced my puppy to move. Travel + Leisure / Rebecca Shinners I was so impressed with the packing cubes that I raved about them to my family and friends, and my brother already ordered them in blue for his next trip. Amazon reviewers have called them everything from their 'favorite packing necessity' to 'rockstars," and many of their fans are flight attendants. One wrote, "They are great space savers and make it possible for me to pack for a four-day trip to frigid destinations without having to bring an extra bag." Chiming in, a second flight attendant shared, "I routinely pack for a week in the medium bag only. If I used all four bags, I could pack enough to last months." Another reviewer said the cubes were 'worth every penny' after using them to pack everything they needed for two weeks in Europe in a carry-on bag, and a traveler added, 'The compression feature allowed me to overpack and still get everything neatly tucked into my suitcase." They made sure to note that the zippers still worked smoothly, no matter how much they overstuffed the pouches. It's safe to say that I'm no longer a packing cube skeptic. After my London trip, I'm now more confident than ever in my ability to pack just a carry-on for my upcoming trips. I even just booked an economy ticket to Paris to avoid checked bag fees. Whether you're looking to skip checking a bag like me or just want to fit more into your suitcase, you won't regret ordering the Gonex Compression Packing Cubes for your next trip. Read on for more carry-on packing essentials from Amazon. At the time of publishing, the price started at $20. Love a great deal?

Nike and Hyperice's $900 ‘Recovery' Boot Lives Up to the Hype
If you're an athlete, then you remember all too well that the time between 2015 and 2020 was when recovery tools really took over. While hard to believe, there was, in fact, a time when a hard workout or a weekend long run didn't end with a session in Normatec Legs or a bout with a massage gun. But in 2025, athletes of all ranges, from pro to amateur level, and in nearly every sport, have made recovery a key component of their training. In line with this notion are the novel tech and tools that athletes now have access to. Think Normatec boots and Hyperice massage guns, yes, but also at-home portable cupping, red light therapy, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) devices, and infrared sauna blankets, to name just a few. The latest in this lineup is the Hyperboot, an extremely high-tech pair of recovery boots that are priced at $899. The Hyperboot is somewhat of a mashup between an ultra-comfy and supportive recovery shoe—which many sportswear companies have released in the past several years—and a compression boot, but one specifically designed to provide recovery support to the foot and ankle. They're a collaboration between Nike, which is responsible for the bulk of the shoe design, including the mid and outer soles, and Hyperice, a company that makes high-end recovery tools for athletes. Hyperice x Nike Hyperboot Nike and Hyperice's Hyperboots will make your feet feel fresh and relaxed after working out, but $900 is steep for the specialized recovery shoes. Pros Remarkably relaxing Remarkably relaxing Easy setup Easy setup TSA-approved for carry-on Cons Bulky, weird-looking Bulky, weird-looking Very expensive What Do They Do and Why Do They Look So Weird? The Hyperboot is not discreet. They are big and bulky and look like they are meant to accompany an astronaut on a moonwalk. Though by now, most runners, casual and professional, are used to colossal-sized running shoes, these are larger still—and by a lot. The reason for the chunkiness, and the secret sauce of these recovery shoes, is that they have the same built-in air compression technology that you'll find in the Normatec boots (Hyperice bought Normatec in 2020). Better known as intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices, they use a system of air pumps and chambers to inflate and deflate in a regularly repeating pattern. The idea behind this is that by expanding and collapsing in a systematic way, blood flow and the movement of lymphatic fluid increases, allowing for better circulation and removal of waste, and, theoretically, faster recovery—all while you are seated, resting and relaxing. In addition to this squeezing technology, the Hyperboot added one more feature: heat. While you are getting your feet and ankles squeezed, the device heats up. Because heat is known to relax muscles, adding it in with the compression technology should enable even more blood flow and fluid movement; also, heat just feels really nice. What Do the Boots Feel Like? Unfortunately, I don't hate them. I say unfortunately because truly, who actually wants to fall in love with a $900 recovery shoe? Unlike the Normatec boots or similar compression sleeves from other brands, the Hyperboot is meant to be both a recovery and warm-up device, meaning that to get the most benefits from them, the shoes should be worn both before and after a workout. Runners and other athletes often fall into three camps: they are warm-up stans, recovery devotees, or both. I fall into the oft-forgotten fourth category: I despise—and purposefully forget about—both. But for the sake of this review, I pretended I belonged firmly in the third category. During my two-week stint wearing the Hyperboot before and after every single run—I promise!—which ranged from easy three-to-five-mile runs, a couple faster interval workouts, and an 8-mile longer run on the weekend, I found myself looking forward to my workouts solely because that meant I got to spend some time in the boots. Having spent a decent amount of my free time in Normatec Legs during numerous marathon builds circa 2018 through 2022, I know the 'fresh legs' feeling these devices can create. It's an undeniably gloriously light, airy experience. The new Hyperboots did not disappoint on this front. And the addition of heat created this feeling of stepping into one of those foot baths with a massager, but without the added messy water setup and cleanup. The setup of the boots themselves was straightforward. The boots are charged via two USB-C cords that are plugged into a wall charger. The charge will last for about 1.5 hours (that is plenty of time in the boots; see below.) There are four buttons: an on/off button, a compression button, a heat button, and a start/stop button. Both the compression and heat buttons have three ranges of intensity. Once you've strapped in and turned the device on, the Hyperboots will compress to each foot. Pressing the start/stop button will begin the sequential compressions and heat. At first, I turned both settings—compression and heat strength—up to max. While the intense compressions were not bothersome (rather the opposite), the heat quickly became unbearable. The heat ranges in intensity from 111-degree Fahrenheit on the lowest level to 125-degree Fahrenheit on the highest level. Be warned: the highest level was so hot that I had to remove the shoes mid-session (though not so hot that I had to run them under cold water or I got a burn, don't worry). I've since learned that either I'm a wimp when it comes to heat or the boots are simply too hot. Either way, I was only able to tolerate the shoes on the lowest possible heat setting. Even with that setting though, the feeling of a hot water bath comes through just fine. I was surprised how much the shoes made my feet and ankles feel fresh, relaxed, and equally refreshed to begin a workout, as well as restored if I had just recovered from one. The main concept behind the boots, according to Hyperice and Nike, is that your ankles and feet are important but both forgotten and tricky areas to treat. Technically, the Normatec Legs do cover your feet and ankles, so if you already own a pair of them (and they are the exact same price as the Hyperboot right now), you might be wondering what more the Hyperboot can provide. Having tried both, I will say that the Hyperboot provides a more targeted compression of the ankle compared to the Normatec Legs, and once you've finished, you can really feel the difference. The Hyperboot made my ankles feel light, airy, and ready for my next workout. Just as significantly, the addition of heat was not insignificant. It made a notable difference—subjectively!—to how I felt after wearing them. Technically speaking, the shoes are designed so that you can stand, walk, sit, or travel all while getting the compression and heat benefits. On that note, the shoes are TSA-approved for carry-on, according to Hyperice. But also on that note, if I am being blunt, I had a lot of trouble forcing myself to leave my apartment in these shoes. Inside my apartment, I could wear them for hours all while cleaning, cooking, and doing other housework. The midsoles are extremely comfortable and the boots, in general, have a propeller-like feel similar to the feeling of wearing carbon plate racing shoes. However, I did feel like I got the most benefit from them just by sitting down, relaxing, and letting the compression and heat work. And, because I care deeply about my readers, I forced myself to wear them outside twice: once to get coffee and walk around my neighborhood and another time to a grocery store. Many people looked at my feet. Nobody asked questions. Do They Actually Help You Recover Faster? What Does the Science Say? It's undeniable that these shoes make your feet happy. But how does that translate into true recovery? And what evidence do we have to back that up? That's where things get trickier. The compression device technology was originally developed for bed-bound hospitalized patients to prevent blood clots. The periodic compressions mimic what would happen if someone were to, say, walk the length of a hospital wing, which is probably the same distance as one city block or less. Doctors knew that prolonged immobility increased the risk for blood to clot, so by mimicking movement, these boots would reduce the risk of these dangerous clots in a person who couldn't move. Later on, the founder of Normatec, a doctor named Laura Jacobs, further refined these devices to specifically help people dealing with postoperative lymphedema in breast cancer. Her device was then introduced to the athletic community as the Normatec Legs. If it can help blood flow and lymphatic drainage in immobile, hospitalized people, then it might help athletes, too. But there's a catch to this. The difference between an athlete—from elite to amateur—and an immobile patient in the hospital recovering from surgery is that an athlete can walk a city block. And unfortunately, there's still little evidence to suggest that these compression devices do anything more for recovery than a walk can provide. The Hyperboot is new, so there aren't independent studies on its effectiveness. However, since the Normatec Legs came out, there have been a number of studies looking into whether these devices help in recovery. A 2020 study published in the International Journal of Exercise Science followed 10 distance runners (five female and five male runners) and monitored how they felt after runs that ended in a session with compression boots (Normatec Legs or ones similar) and runs that didn't include a post-run session. The study concluded that 'there appear to be no substantial benefits of IPC in promoting recovery.' A 2024 meta-analysis, which pulls together a bulk of studies all on the same subjects and looks for overall trends, published in the journal Biology of Sport, looked at 17 studies, which included a total of 319 participants, and concluded that the boots provided 'a trivial to moderate effect' on pain and muscle soreness markers and 'a highly variable effect' on markers that look at muscle damage. The authors found that this technology 'might be a method with potential effects for recovery in sports, mainly reducing perceived soreness.' The problem is that, as Christie Aschwanden, author of Good to Go, about the science of athletic recovery, told Runner's World, it's really hard to measure what recovery is or means as 'there's no single physiological measure—not heart rate, body temperature, or hydration status—that will tell you whether or not you're recovered.' In fact, 'How do you feel?' is a common way to monitor recovery. In that vein, the Hyperboot did make me feel good. I felt better after wearing the boots than I did before putting them on. This was true every time I wore them. And I looked forward to wearing them, so much that they made me look forward to harder workouts that I otherwise was somewhat dreading. However, at $900, if I could get the same benefit that the Hyperboot provides by walking to and from the park where I run instead of starting my run as soon as I leave my apartment, I'd probably opt for that. Though it wouldn't be as relaxing or fun.
