The most important step, if you ask us?
Selecting and packing the right gear.
Our Testing Process
The first step to all of our tests is extensive research.

For luggage, we test for capacity, maneuverability, and durability.
For shoes and apparel, we test for comfort, fit, design, and more.
(Yes, it’s really fun.)

However, just because we love a product and it makes our list, that doesnt mean itsperfect.
We call that out for you.
Once we publish content with our recommendations, thats not the end.

Our top priority is making sure that you are happy with the products you purchase based on our recommendations.
We’re picky about the products we travel with, and we think you should be, too.
We only recommend products that meet our high standards.
