Killspencer Dopp Folio

The Killspencer Dopp Folio ($150-$190) does double duty as a carrier for both your grooming and gadget arsenal. Available in four different leather or canvas versions, the Dopp Folio, as its name implies, transforms from a dopp kit that you can pack with your toiletries into a folio for your iPad or 11-inch MacBook Air, and a few other necessities.

Roll Up Travel Charger

Pack lighter and smarter with this Roll Up Travel Charger ($35). Compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod, and capable of charging up to four devices at once, this compact charger offers Apple 30-pin, Mini USB, Micro USB, and Samsung charging connectors, all of which sprout from a tube that rolls up into a slip-proof polyurethane mat and connects to power using a single wall wart, leaving the other outlet open for your razor, laptop, or travel-sized blacklight wand to check the room for unwanted "surprises".

Ray Solar Charger

Stay powered up whether you're in the car or cafe with the Ray Solar Charger ($40). It sports a suction cup surround for sticking it to the inside of your windshield, and for when you're working from a non-moving seat, Ray has a built-in kickstand that tilts to grab the maximum amount of sunlight.

Davek Elite Umbrella

A good umbrella is a must for those of us who live in places where it isn't sunny 340 days a year, and as carriers of the company's Solo model, we can assure you that the Davek Elite Umbrella ($150) qualifies. The high-end umbrella company's take on the cane umbrella, the Elite features a 50-inch arc-diameter canopy, a top-grain leather handle, a wind-tension frame system for resistance to high winds, a fiberglass shaft, an auto-open button system, and classy zinc metal accents.

Tumi Compatto Travel Reading Glasses

When you're travelling with glasses — reading glasses included — the more compact they become, the better. And these Tumi Compatto Travel Reading Glasses ($125) are some of the most compact we've ever seen. Thanks to a patent pending frame design, the Compatto features unique nose pads that hold the flexible beta titanium temples in place for compact storage, photochromic lenses that darken on exposure to UV light, and a carbon graphite frame front for the lightest weight possible.

Tumi Ducati Collection

Tumi and Ducati have collaborated on luggage before, but never has the result been so... colorful. The new Tumi Ducati Collection ($TBA) includes a variety of bright red bags, featuring three red travel cases made with Tumi's multi-layer ABS polycarbonate material, nylon front panels, and aluminum handles, two duffel bags, and one backpack/crossbody bag. No word yet on how to get the bags to the airport aboard a Ducati, but we're sure you'll figure something out.

Muji Hard Carry Suitcases

They're not flashy, but that's the point. These Muji Hard Carry Suitcases ($240) come in black, gray, or khaki, and feature 72 liters of interior space — good for a week's worth of stuff — durable, lightweight polycarbonate construction, internal compression straps and zippered mesh pouches, an included TSA-approved lock, and 360-degree turning wheels with an adjustable carry bar. Ryan Bingham would approve.

Helium Bike Case

Whether you're heading out on a mountain bike excursion or simply wanting to save on taxi fare while abroad, the Helium Bike Case ($600) will keep your two-wheeled transport safe and secure until you reach your destination. Designed to be plane, train, and bus friendly, the Helium features inflatable padding for protection, enough interior space for your frame plus two sets of wheels — each of which is secured by a proprietary anchoring system — and a separate compartment for storing the included pump.

Tumi Travel Speaker

Get good sound wherever you end up with the Tumi Travel Speaker ($125). The gunmetal table top speaker uses surfaces to amplify sound, creating "dynamic sounds and deep, rich bass tones on virtually any hard surface." Also comes with the requisite protective carrying case.

Hideo Wakamatsu Tarpaulin Check-In Trolley

If you care more about the safety of your cargo and less about the flashiness of your luggage, check out the Hideo Wakamatsu Tarpaulin Check-In Trolley ($225). Made from water- and shred-resistant tarpaulin, this 25-inch pull-behind — a smaller 19-inch version ($190) is also available — this lightweight bag sports dual exterior and interior zippered pockets, water repellent zippers, adjustable straps around the sides to accomodate larger loads, and silent running wheels to keep it from sounding like you're stepping on a mouse once every five feet, also known as "terminal squeal."

Tumi 35th Anniversary Collection

You might not know it from their typically modern, fabric-sided bags, but Tumi's been in the business for thirty-five years, and it's going back to the basics with the Tumi 35th Anniversary Collection ($300-$800). This original collection of leather bags includes a tote, an expandable duffel, a carry-on garment bag, a backpack, horizontal and vertical crossbodys, and a slim briefcase, all available in sienna and sometimes in traditional black. Classic and classy — just don't expect them to take the abuse of luggage handlers quite like their nylon siblings.

Samsonite Micro Suitcase Scooter

We somehow can't see the myriad security guards roaming our international airports being too happy about it, but you can now cruise past your fellow flyers aboard the Samsonite Micro Suitcase Scooter (£250; roughly $400). This crazy contraption converts from a carry-on bag or rucksack into a kickboard with front-mounted case thanks to an integrated running board, handlebars, and wheels. Layovers have never been so much fun. [Thanks, Ed]

TravelTeq Trip

Leave it to a laptop bag maker to come up with the ultimate carry-on. The hard-sided TravelTeq Trip ($800-$850) features plenty of compartments for your clothes, laptop, phone, and other gear, smooth-gliding wheels on legs that can extend out of the back of the case, a sliding top plate that serves as a stool, a telescoping handle, and even optional speakers to blare your protest rock in the middle of the TSA security line.

Tumi Vapor Luggage

Time to replace your aging, well-traveled luggage? Take a look at the new line of Tumi Vapor Collection ($400-$550). Available in four-wheel variants of the Extended Trip, Medium Trip, and International Carry-On cases, as well as a two-wheel version of the latter case for the traditionalists out there, these stylish, highly-distinctive cases are made from a triple-layer alloy of ABS and polycarbonate, making them extremely light while giving them the protective abilities of a heavier hard case. Perfect for your next trip, whether it's across the state or across the ocean.

New Era Cap Carriers

Has your obsession with MLB caps gone past the typical bad hair day coverup to become a full-time, color-coordinated accessory? Pick yourself up one of these New Era Cap Carriers ($25-$50). Available in two-, six-, or 24-cap varieties, the carriers are made from either crush-proof neoprene or high-tensile strength nylon, ensuring that your beloved headwear will arrive looking as fresh as a cap straight from Jerry Ferrara's Entourage wardrobe.

Kenton Sorenson Dopp Kit

Hand-made in the USA, this limited edition Kenton Sorenson Dopp Kit ($135) is constructed of natural leather that'll age beautifully with use. A Cowboy-esque leather wrap-around tie closure also keeps the pricey kit open during use.

Hideo Feather Carry-On Trolley

Good luggage doesn't have to cost a fortune. The Hideo Feather Carry-On Trolley ($190) is a fine example, with a lightweight, water-repellent nylon exterior, three outer zippered pockets, three mesh interior pockets, a zipper closure, and adjustable straps to hold everything in place. We recommend sticking with the green or red models, lest you need to adorn it in garish muti-colored straps to keep it standing out in the wilds that are baggage claim.

Wenger Traveler Pocket Alarm

The large majority of us already carry around an alarm in our pockets — it's called a phone — but there are times when you might not want to drain your juice all night just so you can wake in the morning. The Wenger Traveler Pocket Alarm ($250) is a stylish, albeit expensive, solution, featuring a rugged brushed stainless steel case, luminous hands, numerals, and markers, date display, an integrated retractable stand, a second time zone indicator, an included silicone pouch, and... oh yeah, an alarm.

Carbon Fiber Airstream Duffle Bag

We've seen carbon fiber used in a myriad of different products over the years, but this might be the first time we've seen it employed in a flexible piece of luggage. The Carbon Fiber Airstream Duffle Bag ($285) is made from waterproof carbon fiber sailcloth, giving it a glossy, textured look, that's complemented by three gusseted zippered pockets, a lockable, wide mouth dual zipper main opening, an adjustable, removable shoulder strap, and a padded handle wrap. You won't have any trouble finding this one at the baggage claim, but you might make the guy rocking the gold-plated Samsonite a little jealous.

Coach Transatlantic Travel Kit

If you're lucky enough to afford the Coach Transatlantic Carry-On, you'd be seriously silly not to pick up the matching Coach Transatlantic Travel Kit ($130). In fact, you don't really need the matching duffel to enjoy the retro-style, glove-tanned leather, fabric lining, inner pockets, and zip-top closure with premium hardware — it just helps.

F1 Flight Dopp Kit

With retro looks that recall a time when your air hostess looked like this and you could still light up a death stick at 30,000 feet, the F1 Flight Dopp Kit ($36) is a functional blast from the (fictional) past. Made from PVC, this carry-all features dual zippers that pull in tandem for easy access to the spacious, lined interior. An exterior pocket for smaller stuff and velcro to keep the top flap down round out this travel accessory that's probably 10x cooler than the bag you'll carry it in.

Coach Transatlantic Carry-On

Globe trot in style with the Coach Transatlantic Carry-On ($650). Made from premium glove-tanned leather that will gain patina and character with age, this well heeled bag features two inner pockets and one outer pocket, fabric lining on the interior, a zip-tip closure, sturdy leather double handles, an adjustable, removable shoulder strap, and polished nickel-finished hardware. Warning for iPad/iPhone users: Coach's whole damn site is in Flash, so if you're on one of Apple's iDevices, don't even bother clicking through.

Lexdray Classified Collection

If Uncrate had its own line of bags, this would be it. Whether you need something as small as a dop kit or as large as a hiking pack, you can find it in the Lexdray Classified Collection ($TBA; Sept.). Made from high-quality, weather-resistant materials like 1680D nylon, neoprene, and leather, and sporting military-grade hardware, buckles, and zippers, this unique line of bags prides itself on looking understated but packing more pockets than most know what to do with. Add in features like false bottoms and hidden compartments, and you'll see why they're great for wannabe spies and drug runners alike.

Jack Spade Tarpaulin Dry Dopp Kit

Fancy it's not, but the Jack Spade Tarpaulin Dry Dopp Kit ($95) is a sure-fire way to transport your sundry items in style. It's made from unlined, waterproof industrial grade tarpaulin, and offers an internal zippered pocket, aqua seal zippers, and custom die cast hardware, along with a kickin' orange body that's super easy to spot in a larger suitcase or bag. Goes great with hunting attire, as well.

Mulholland Flat Shave Kit

Pack your grooming essentials in style inside a Mulholland Flat Shave Kit. Measuring 7" x 10" x 4", this kit has room for everything you'll need, yet is low-profile enough you can pack it anywhere. It's got a three-sided zippered top for full access, and inside the nylon-lined interior, you'll find one zippered pocket. Choose from Heritage All Leather ($150), Heritage Endurance ($95), Heritage Vintage Waxed Canvas ($95), Heritage Boardroom Pattern ($105), and the pricey Luxe American Alligator ($4,200).

Titan Backstage Luggage

While it sports looks that suggest it's carved from an Apple-like block of aluminum, Titan Backstage Luggage ($400-$450) is actually made from 100% polycarbonate, and features removable toiletry, waterproof, and shoe bags across each of the line's three differently-sized models. All but the smallest model include a removable garment bag, and TSA-approved locks and a lifetime warranty round out the offering.

Spacepak

No matter how many frequent flyer miles you've racked up, we can all use some help maximizing the space inside our luggage. Spacepak ($30-$98) accessories help you do exactly that. The system of bags — available for clothes, underwear, shoes, suits, and more — allows garments to undergo double compression, virtually doubling the usable space inside your carry-on.

Duluth AWOL Bag

Inspired by the classic military duffel bags referred to the servicemen of the day as "AWOL bags", the Duluth AWOL Bag ($200) is a modern take on the rugged weekender. It's made from oiled, full-grade cowhide, with a patina that only gets better the longer you have it — at least, according to Uncrate reader Brendan Ruane — and also features carry-on friendly dimensions, brass hardware and a YKK nylon zipper, cloth lining, and a single inner document pocket that's perfect for stashing your passport, cash, and other small travel essentials.
