Summer is right around the corner, so it’s a good idea to start stocking up on some traveling essentials, especially if you’re planning to take a long trip. You’ll want things that’ll help you relax, give you peace of mind and let you enjoy your trip without any worries. The best traveling essentials include noise-canceling headphones for listening to your favorite tunes, portable power cells to juice your electronics, travel containers, sleeping masks and more.

That’s where this one shines, as it has a built-in front compartment for quick access to your belongings, TSA-approved locks and a dent-resistant shell.
