Humangear GoToob Travel Bottles – carry-on approved travel bottles

GoToobs have revolutionized travel toiletry bottles. I’ve been using Nalgene Travel Bottles for years, but I am tempted to crossover to the GoToob. Main thing I liked about these bottles is that unlike the Nalgene bottles they are squeezable. You can get that list bit of shampoo out of a GoToob without elaborate pounding rituals.

A large opening makes these bottles easy to fil

After reviewing nothing but toiletry kits this week I am thinking about upgrading my trusty 5+ year old REI Shower Kit with one of these new fangled bags.

The Eagle Creek Pack-It Slim Kit is a fairly compact hanging toiletry bag with plenty of pockets and a handy built-in mirror.

REI Shower Kit – simple and lightweight toiletry kit

I have been using REI’s Shower Kit for years. It is simple, straightforward, and holds everything I need for a weekend trip or a month-long adventure. It lacks the bells and whistles of the Sea to Summit Hanging Toiletry Bag, but it is perfect for storing travel-sized toiletries without a lot of bulk.

A main compartment with a single-straight zipper holds your toiletries an

Sea to Summit Hanging Toiletry Bag – ultralight, durable hanging toiletry bag

The Sea to Summit Hanging Toiletry Bag lets you travel with everything but the bathroom sink. Multiple internal pockets keeps your goods organized and the mesh design lets you view the bag’s contents even when pockets are zipped closed.

Best thing about the Sea to Summit Toiletry Bag is the hanging design. The clamshell-shaped lid zips open to reveal the bag’s content
