Travel can be restorative and reinvigorating — a bridge to loved ones, a door to new places.
It can also be draining and inconvenient.
And sometimes the smallest issues with your travel gear can ruin a perfectly good trip.
If you’ve spent the past few travel seasons dragging around the same banged-up carry-on suitcase with sticky wheels and a broken handle, if you find yourself constantly pulling on a snagged backpack zipper, or if you simply want to upgrade your travel gear, the Cyber Monday is a good time to shop.
But you don’t have to go it alone. Here at Wirecutter, our travel experts have thought of every last thing, so you don’t have to. They’ve overstuffed suitcases, lived out of backpacks, slept in their cars, and put waterproofing claims through rigorous stress-testing. We want to make sure you get to your destination with ease — and without having your shampoo explode all over your carry-on.
Our Wirecutter Deals experts have dug through countless discounts on our favorite travel gear and vetted those that are actually worth your time and money.
Here are the best holiday steals on Wirecutter-approved travel gear.
