FIREBELLY TRAIL QUILT

Gear up for your next big adventure with the all-new Firebelly Trail Quilt. Designed by Kammok, makers of high-performance outdoor camping gear, this multi-purpose quilt can be a minimalist sleeping bag, hammock top quilt, hammock underquilt, as well as a go-to insulator for travel. The 30-degree down trail quilt, made for cold-weather trail-blazing, is 20 percent larger than the previous version and only one ounce heavier. Its buttery-soft, abrasion-resistant 15D ripstop nylon material retains body heat and is DWR-treated. The Firebelly integrates with your sleeping pad and has snaps and drawcords to create a footbox. An internal insulation honeycomb evenly distributes warmth and eliminates cold spots, keeping you warm and toasty throughout the night. $279, kammok.com/pages/firebelly

SIGNATURE 2.0 TROLLEY LUGGAGE

Nothing says “Happy holidays!” quite like a new suitcase — preferably one with a ticket to an exciting destination tucked inside. Vessel, maker of high-quality lifestyle bags, has introduced a new item to its collection, the rolling, carry-on certified Signature 2.0 Trolley Luggage. Made of microsuede synthetic leather, the stylish bag features four 360-degree wheels for easy maneuverability.

SELECT WATER FILTERS AND PURIFIERS

Having clean, safe water to drink on hiking, camping, kayaking, fishing trips, and other outdoor adventures is a necessity, not a luxury. Sawyer offers three models of Select Filters and Purifiers — S1, S2, and S3 — that remove most contaminants found in fresh water, reducing chemicals to 0.5 parts per billion (400 times lower than the EPA’s maximum allowed level) while also improving taste and odor. To use, simply unscrew the filter and fill the durable silicone bottle with water. After screwing the filter back on, squeeze the bottle for 10 seconds and then drink. A foam membrane in the bottle, and a 0.1 micron hollow fiber filter at the top, remove bacteria, protozoa, chemicals, pesticides, cysts, dirt, and sediment. Choose the best model for your destination and for also filtering out viruses and heavy metals. $59.99-$89.99. sawyer.com/products/select-filter-and-purifier

SLEEEP EARPLUGS

Light sleepers rejoice! Flare Audio is introducing Sleeep, a new earplug that uses ground-breaking technology to dull sleep-interfering sounds, making it easier to doze in planes, trains, and hotel rooms. (And even at home.) Rather than absorb sound like traditional foam earplugs, Sleeep’s two models block noise using metal. Basic Sleeep is made from aerospace aluminum, available as Natural Aluminum or Silver Pink. The pro model, made from grade 5 titanium, attenuates lower frequencies for maximum sound reduction. Both models come with a range of super-soft and durable memory-foam tips. $38.47 and $64.13, www.flareaudio.com/collections/sleeep

CBD HEMP SKIN AND BODY CARE

Dry skin, aching muscles, and stress are downsides to the wonders of travel. Perhaps the perfect stocking stuffers for weary travelers are the hemp-derived CBD skin and body care products offered by Life Elements. The trendy (and now mainstream) Cannabidiol, or CBD, is said to have a wide variety of medicinal and therapeutic effects as an anti-inflammatory with antioxidant and anti-aging properties. The Ache & Pain Relief and Everyday Skin Repair roll-on sticks (available in two sizes) are easy to tuck into your carry-on to provide relief from dry skin, bug bites, and sunburn as well as help soothe achy muscles and inflamed joints. And it’s hard to resist the Bliss Ball Bath Bombs, eucalyptus-scented, muscle-relaxing pods to drop into a soaking tub. Made with hemp seed oil, calendula flower extract, olive oil, and other yummy ingredients (no harsh chemicals here), the Bliss Balls are available in three strengths. From $14, actionwipes.com/collections/life-elements-plus

NOT FOR NAVIGATION

Looking for a unique way to remember — and celebrate — a favorite destination? In Essex, designer Heather Jernegan founded Not For Navigation, a line of custom-designed bags, pillows and other home accessories (including shower curtains and fleece blankets) adorned with images of nautical charts and topographical maps. Simply choose the item you’d like to purchase, and add a description of your cherished location, including specific details you’d like to see, such as a favorite beach or nearby mountain range. You’ll receive a digital mock-up of the design, ready for you to revise or approve before the final order is made. Custom orders can take two to three weeks to complete. $54-$150, www.notfornavigation.com

HEATED TRAVEL PILLOW

Add a new level of comfort to your travel accessories with Volt Heat’s 5v Heated Travel Pillow. The cozy, fleece-covered pillow adds warmth at the base of your neck to keep you warm in chilly airports, planes, and trains. As the high-density memory foam heats up, it contours to your neck, helping to cradle and support your head as you relax and snooze. A built-in thermostat controller regulates the temperature, allowing you to choose one of three power settings at the push of a button. Includes a rechargeable battery and USB charging cord that also operates as a backup charging device for a cellphone. The soft fabric can be removed, and is machine-washable. $50, voltheat.com/collections/heated-misc/products/heated-travel-pillow-by-volt
