The Kangopack claims to do just that, and keep you and your personal belongings free from all sorts of nasty germs.  It also keeps all your items together, making it easy to pick up and go once you get through security.  No need to worry about leaving your valuables behind.

I’ve never seen this going through the security line, so I can’t personally vouch for it’s TSA approval, but the product does claim to be TSA compliant.

Take a look at how it works:

It looks pretty slick!

The Kangopack is made of 100% anti-microbial fabric that is resistant to the spread of germs, bacteria, and fungus.  It comes in two sizes.  The company also makes a TSA Compliant Travel Kit (with containers), antibacterial socks (to protect your feet as you walk through the security checkpoint), a laptop sleeve, and a sanitizing hand spray.  Prices range from $2.49 to $34.99.

Kangopack Tries to Make Travel Germ Free

Created in the United Kingdom, FitFlops were originally designed to help women get a little more exercise into their day without any extra effort.  Collaboration led to a “microwobbleboard” technology that was inserted into the midsole of the FitFlop.  This technology gives your legs and calves a little bit of a workout every time you take a step.

This is not going to take the place of going to the gym and getting a good cardio or weight work out! 

But if you’re doing a lot of beach walking on your next vacation, why not squeeze in a little extra exercise at the same time.

FitFlops come in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors.  In photo is the dressier gold sequined Electra.

This Insect Shield Halo Long-Sleeve Shirt from Ex Officio is a stylish and useful option, allowing you to look good and still get the protection you need. 

Made of lightweight nylon, this shirt is great for hiking, camping, or a day walking around the city. 

The insect shield protects against ants, ticks and other pests (of the insect variety), and the UPF 30+ gives you sun protection.  The sleeves have tabs to hold up the sleeves when you don’t need full protection, and there is a security pocket to keep valuables safe. The nylon fabric has moisture wicking for quick drying and wrinkle resistance, so it packs and wears easily.

Machine wash in cold water, but don’t use bleach or fabric softeners.  The protection will last 70 washings, so you will want to wear and launder with that in mind.

Available is sizes XS – XL, and in a variety of colors (light palm in the photo).  $88.
