Boblbee GT 25L
In some cases, the best travel companion isn’t a guide or best friend — it’s a pack. The Boblbee GT 25L, a Point 65 Sweden product, specializes in rugged travel (think backcountry skiing or mountain biking). On top of Level 2 spine protection, the pack also has a protective ABS shell that reduces impact by 88 percent. This way, it basically acts as a helmet for you back. Other specs include a water-repellent top cover, a sail-grade bungee cord lock, and room to hold a 15-inch laptop. packs.point65.com
UE Roll Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Rugged Bluetooth speakers are nothing new, but the UE Roll is more travel friendly than most. It’s the size of a large belt buckle and can be attached to any item of clothing via its built-in bungee cord. The Roll blasts out audio in every direction, has a wireless range of 65 feet, a 9-hour battery life and is waterproof enough to be submerged. $99
VICE Golf Lone Champ Hat
With the US Open kicking off this Thursday, VICE Golf has released a limited-edition ball cap. The snapback features a “lone fir” on its side, commemorating the single tree that’s on the Chambers Bay course. In addition, each hat will have an unique American stars-and-stripes motif — meaning that no two will be alike. And like all of VICE Golf’s products, this hat can only be purchased online. $25
