Briggs & Riley Toiletry Kit

Briggs & Riley Baseline Deluxe Toiletry Kit

HOW MUCH: $85

DOES IT WORK? If you carry as many toiletries as we do, the idea of having a separate piece of luggage for them is logical, especially when it's designed this cleverly. Looking somewhat like an oversized lunchbox, the kit is compact enough to be stored within a larger suitcase, yet big enough to accommodate his and her toiletries for traveling couples. The numerous storage areas - we counted 18 - in a variety of sizes fit everything from a hair dryer to a tube of lipstick. Some are zippered, some are elasticized, some are see-through plastic, preventing the spread of liquids. A self-contained hanger and U-shaped zippered front panel provide easy access to your belongings.

Available in black or olive ballistic nylon, the bag will be repaired free for life if ever damaged. Although the case has a carrying handle, we wish it also came with a shoulder strap.

Available at numerous luggage retailers. Check briggs-riley.com for store locations.
