Back in the early 2000s, cool travel accessories meant a skip-proof Discman, a bulky money belt for your cash and traveller’s cheques, and a paperback-sized language translation guide. Oh, how things have changed. Fast forward to the present day, and we are spoiled with incredible travel gadgets to not only make our trips safe and practical but also insanely fun. Technology has allowed us to pack things in our suitcase for which we needed a shipping container a couple of decades ago. With so many cool widgets available to bring on our adventures, it’s hard to narrow the list down. Here are seven unique travel gadgets for your next adventure trip.
7 essential travel gadgets
Smart carry-on suitcase
You’ll need something to pack all of your cool gadgets, and in this case, your luggage is a cool gadget in itself. Smart carry-on suitcases have become a major trend for globetrotters – and for good reason. These handy devices come with a built-in LED light for those overnight flights. They can also double as a tabletop to be used as a work surface on a pesky layover. Other awesome features include a removable USB charging device and GPS tracking system to ensure you know where your luggage is at all times.
Tree tent
For those who love to get off the beaten path, this one’s for you. These highly practical and portable tents can fit in your trunk right behind your customisable roof rack. The best thing about this versatile tent is that it can be used as a relaxing hammock in the daytime and provides the safety and privacy of a tent when it’s time for bed. Most units are built to comfortably support two people, making them ideal for solo travellers and couples alike. It’s a dream come true for campers and backpackers that enjoy the rugged wilderness.
Action camera
No matter what kind of adventures you get up to, chances are, you’ll want to document them. Whether it’s surfing off the coast of Costa Rica, or mountain biking on the rugged North Shore of Vancouver in Canada, you’ll want a tough, reliable, and waterproof camera that you’ll be able to mount on your bike, board, or helmet. These cameras are equipped with GPS capability, provide beautiful film in 4k, and have editing features to allow you to cut film on the fly.

Portable solar charger
These innovative chargers power up from the sun and can last up to 500 charges for your cell phone. Most devices are waterproof and come with multiple USB ports. Depending on the brand you select, some of these products can even double as a lantern. One of the coolest travel gadgets out there to make sure you’re never left with a dead phone or left in the dark. And all through the power of nature.
Pick-pocket-proof adventure shorts
Let’s face it; petty crime exists everywhere. As annoying as it is, you want to make sure that you’re not the latest victim of a stolen phone, cash, or worse yet, your passport. Pickpocketing is an art form in some countries, and these world-class thieves know what they’re doing. Protect your belongings with some incredible pick-pocket-proof shorts to give yourself peace of mind when you’re partying during Carnival in Brazil or strolling down Las Ramblas in Barcelona.
