Good morning, reader.

A very stupid thing about me is that I think the best part of having a hobby is all the stuff you have to buy in order to enjoy said hobby. It’s why I have more and better guitars than my meager skills on the instrument would seem to require. It’s why, back when I was playing lots of golf, I obsessed over the newest and most expensive clubs on the market, despite barely being able to break 90. In both instances, some lessons probably would have provided better results, but what would be the fun in that?

The good news, if you count travel among your favorite hobbies, is that you don’t have to be a great traveler to justify buying the best travel products. On the contrary, the best travel products make you a better traveler. Along with the help of the rest of our team, Travel Editor Lindsay Rogers put together an indispensable list of 100 such products. Give it a read.
