Gadgets and travel accessories

BY PAUL CHAI

Pack these travel essentials for staying safe in your hotel room, staying out of the rain and staying charged.

Designer carry-on luggage

Designed in Australia using information gleaned from thousands of online luggage reviews, July luggage has responded to customer needs with thoughtful compartments to make packing easy. The hand luggage has a unique eggshell shape that makes it sturdier, and you can add extras like packing cells and luggage tags, or opt to have the cases engraved so they are easier to spot on the carousel.

Portable safety door lock

If you are travelling on your own and staying in a holiday home or hotel, the Addalock portable safety lock can give you peace of mind. This portable lock is effectively a wedge that you install to stop someone opening the door while you are inside the room, but does it not damage the door. From PGK63; addalock.com.

Stylish, compact umbrella

New Zealand umbrella brand Blunt is elevating the humble umbrella with superior engineering and a new, trademarked shape. “Here was a product that had been around for over 150 years and hadn’t fundamentally evolved since inception,” said Blunt founder, Greig Brebner. It has now. PGK286; bluntumbrella.com.au.
