In today’s day and age, people travel more than ever before. And why wouldn’t they? There are always great deals on flights to so many amazing places. Wanderlust is a wonderful thing, but traveling can be stressful and inefficient if you don’t have the correct travel gear.

I travel a lot for work. Each year is different, but I easily spend 100+ days out of town. That means a lot of time in busy airports and a lot of time away from what I usually have access to at home to live my day to day life. Over the last few years, I have discovered two brands that make traveling way more efficient. Both brands sell luggage, travel bags, and other travel accessories. Let’s take a look.

Nomatic

Without question, Nomatic is the best brand for travel gear that I have found. They have suitcases, backpacks, camera backpacks, sling bags, and more. If you are a photographer, this is definitely the brand you need to take a look at for expert gear organization while you’re on the road. If you don’t travel with gear, they still have so many great options with innovative organization so you will have everything you need in a specific place while traveling.

Below are the items I have from Nomatic that I would recommend:

Carry on Pro suitcase

Travel backpack

Sling Bag

Packing cubes

Camera backpack

Camera sling

The only downside for some with Nomatic is that their gear is very pricy. This is for good reason, though, because the quality is next level. In addition to that, their customer service is very responsive and helpful. If you want to be more organized on the road, Nomatic is the brand for you.

Monos

My second favorite brand for traveling is Monos. Their award winning carry on pro suitcase is very innovative and useful, as it has a laptop compartment on the front of it. I bought that suitcase first and was so impressed with the durability and customer service, that I ended up getting their suitcases in all sizes. They also offer appealing colors, so that’s fun.

I have used all of their suitcases several times and I can say with confidence that they hold up very well. On the inside, they are very spacious and offer some unique organization opportunities. They also have a lifetime warranty, which I love. Same as Nomatic, their products are expensive, but totally worth it.

Below are the items I have from Monos that I would recommend:

Carry on Pro suitcase

Medium check bag

Large check bag

UV light water bottle

I spent years buying those cheap suitcases and backpacks from TJ maxx, Ross, and Walmart. I was always trying to save a dollar here and there, but I would end up needing to replace them within a year or two due to poor quality. With Nomatic and Monos, you’re buying gear that you will have for life.
