State Bags Logan Suitcase ($220)
Giving your kiddo their own suitcase lightens your load and offers them ownership over what they bring on a trip.

We fell in love with it while watching our kid deliberate for nearly an hour over the right combination of sleep-time companions to pack in the main compartment.
Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown Light Shacket ($230)
It looks like a beefy flannel, but this shacket has some serious technical chops: a stretch-woven, 20-denier nylon-elastane exterior and 700-fill RDS-certified down insulation, which, despite its soft-shell-like construction, delivers plenty of protection on cold hikes and stands up to snags, so it’ll keep pace no matter how ambitious or chill the itinerary.
