There are a number of travel accessories for men that can make their lives a lot easier while on the move. When it comes to traveling, men are notorious for not bothering too much about packing and making sure that they have everything.
Boys and their toys are a real thing, especially when it comes to all the gadgets out there; that’s why this list has a few of them. There are also a few sensible items that mothers always warn to never forget to pack. With that in mind, here are some traveling essentials for men.
While you’re here, why not have a look at this beginner’s guide to travel hacking to exploit these accessories even more?
1) Small Classic Travel Journal /Notebook
Everyone needs a little notebook to jot down ideas while on the move. For those times when you want to do it the old-fashioned way and put thoughts and ideas from pen to paper, include this small notebook as a staple in your travel gear.
No need to worry about the battery dying on this pocket-size Moleskine notebook, just blank pages to fill and the creation of reference points to come back to in the future. A little mind journal is a good way to keep track of your thoughts and document them as you travel. So, why not start one now?
2) Leather Toiletry Bag
Every man needs a toiletry bag, not only for the organization but to keep his toothpaste or shampoo from leaking out over the contents of his bag. Men’s leather travel accessories, such as this Buffalo leather toiletry bag, also impart some style and status on your travels.
Wandering around late at night, after arriving at a destination, just to find some toiletries is not a good way to start any travel. Bringing them from home in their own dedicated space means less time asking for a toothbrush in a foreign language and more time recovering from your flight. So, add some style to your toiletries and make life easier by grabbing one now for your next trip?
3) Beard Grooming Kit
Yes, a beard grooming kit is a real thing and surprisingly important in maintaining everything beard-related, from those great big bushy beards to a 5 o’clock shadow. This Beard Reverence kit contains everything from beard oil and wash to the necessary tools to keep your beard clean, neat and tidy.
Don’t arrive looking scruffy, rather arrive with a beard befitting a king. So, embrace that inner Honest Abe and check out this kit to make sure your glorious beard doesn’t suffer. Using one of these luxury travel items is a must for any man with a beard. Take a look and your beard will thank you for it.
4) Travel Electric Razor
If a beard just isn’t an option and the clean distinguished look is desired, then a travel-size Braun Electric Razor is perfect.
This is one of those travel essentials for men that they should definitely keep in their toiletries bag. Sure, the Travel Electric Razor could be considered one of the luxury travel accessories on this list but why use a razor and shaving cream when this is available?
All that is needed to ensure beard-free travel are 2x AA batteries and a quick rinse under running water to clean the razor. Fear the 5 o’clock shadow no more by packing one of these into your bag.
5) Men’s Convenience Travel Kit
No one, let alone men, wants to spend ages walking around stores looking for the basics. Men tend to be very vocal when it comes to how much they hate shopping.
Thankfully, this Men’s Convenience Travel Kit is here to save them from trudging around the mall in misery. It contains all the grooming essential toiletries needed and is a travel must-have for travel gear for men. All the products are well-known brands and are made in TSA-compliant sizes.
Think of this as a one-stop shop for all your hygiene needs and avoid the dreaded queues for a few basic necessities after landing. Take advice from the scouts, be prepared, so strategically plan ahead and take one of these along?
6) Face Moisturizer
Traveling on a plane has a way of drying out your skin, which always leaves that feeling of discomfort. A good face moisturizer, like this La Roche-Posay one, is the perfect weapon to combat dry, cracking skin after a long journey.
This will help repair skin that’s as dry as the pilot’s jokes from the start of the journey. Even though this is one of those high-end travel accessories, it should be a staple for men’s travel. Make sure you don’t crack up and check it out.
7) Electronics Travel Organizer
A little organization never hurt anyone and keeping all those cables and adapters in one place will help ensure they aren’t lost.
When it comes to gadgets, men sure do have a lot of them and they all need cables to recharge. Keeping these cables and adapters together, in a neat and orderly fashion, is vital. This is one of those men’s travel accessories that is often overlooked until a cable is lost and the thought that there should be a product for this comes to mind.
This product, the Bagsmart Electronic Organizer for traveling, fits perfectly in a backpack or briefcase, making it an ideal travel companion. In the end, this is just what every man needs to make their life the way they like it; simple. So, will you make your life simpler?
8) Universal Travel Adapter
When the power bank is out of juice or needs a top-up, a travel adapter is a savior desperately needed.
A staple in any travel gear, this Epicka Universal Travel Adapter has added features with four USB ports and a single USB-C type port. There’s even 1 AC power socket, meaning you can charge up to six devices at once. Men travel with all the gadgets so this should keep them all topped up.
It also features plug types for the US, UK, AUS and the EU so have no fear of being stuck without power. This universal travel adapter is a winning combination for keeping everything charged and connected. Check it out to ensure you’re never without power, since all men love it.
9) Portable Power Bank Charger
Even though power outlets can be found almost anywhere now, even in plane seats, there will come a time when a trusty portable charger will be a lifesaver. This Anker Portable Charger is no exception, packing a respectable 10,000 mAh battery pack and a small compact size to fit in a bag.
Expect over two full charges for an iPhone and 1.5 charges for a Galaxy S20. For the Apple lovers who can’t live without their Airpods, this charger can charge them up to 12 times. Thus, ensuring they stay connected with their favorite people and don’t give strangers a chance to talk to them.
