Savvy Traveller: What to Pack

Pack like a pro. Here, tips for your next trip

1 Start with a carry-on suitcase that allows for no-brainer organization. The hard-sided Ebby Rane Quartermaster, above, is an investment piece but, for the frequent flier, four cases for liquids, jewelry, even your tech toys and wires – plus a shoe case and a leather clutch – add up to a simple, three-step packing process in a made-to-last design. www.ebbyrane.com

2 A lightweight pant with a tailored silhouette that’s made from a giving fabric that also retains its shape – and looks great straight from the plane to the pub. For women, try Banana Republic’s Sloan Collection slim-fit ankle pant. For men, try Mark’s Denver Hayes Flextech wrinkle-free and stain-resistant pant.

3 Sailing while there? If you’re prone to motion sickness, try a drug-free solution: PsiBands can help relieve nausea due to travel (and even chemotherapy or post-operative nausea from anesthesia). Waterproof and adjustable, the Health Canada-cleared bands’ strategically placed buttons apply acupressure to points on the inside of the wrists associated with increasing tolerance to and reducing symptoms of nausea. www.pureeau.com; www.psibands.com
