Here at Oprah Daily, we believe that finding the just-right roller carry-on for your trip is second only to scoring a table at that off-the-beaten path restaurant in Madrid. Why? Because travel can take you out of your comfort zone, and the key to feeling like the best version of yourself out in the world—without the benefit of your full wardrobe and makeup collection—is to identify some of the greatest hits across the categories of luggage, clothing, accessories, and gadgets. Which is exactly what we did for our inaugural Travel O-wards.

How We Tested and Selected These Winners

Hot on the heels of our first-ever travel issue, these awards are your ultimate travel companion. As we circled the globe in search of the most unforgettable destinations, we also put mountains of gear to the test—from check-in luggage and carry-ons to travel tech, cozy clothes, packing cubes, pillows, and more. To crown our champions, we vetted for practicality and design in equal measure—clothes that are as comfortable as they are stylish; luggage that’s as high-performance as it is sleek; and tech and travel accessories that are as utilitarian as they are compact. And the winners are…

With its 220-pound capacity, you can pile everyone’s wheel-less carry-ons through the terminal. Best Expandable Monos Expandable Carry-On Pro $365 at Monos You know the drill.

But our favorite feature is the front compartment. Unzip it, and you’ll find two interior pockets for your laptop and other easy-access essentials, which stay protected thanks to the suitcase’s polycarbonate shell.

Best Sporty Cotopaxi Allpa 38L Roller Bag $350 at Cotopaxi $350 at Amazon If a backpack and a roller bag had a baby, you’d get this winner. The front has a zippered mesh pocket for your passport, phone, and other in-flight essentials like a book and sweater. Inside is a split-case design with two zippered compartments. And of course, we’re into the brand’s signature cheery color palette and sustainability pledge—it’s made from 100% recycled fabric from pre-consumer waste.

Best Utility Bag Patagonia Black Hole® Duffel $159 at Patagonia $159 at REI$159 at Dick’s Sporting Goods This is the latest, greatest iteration of the adventure carry-all that’s been around since the mid-90s. “I had heard so much about the Black Hole. When finally I tried it, I understood why—it’s perfection,” says Glassman. ”It holds a lot of stuff whether you roll your clothes or neatly fold and stack.” It’s made from super-durable, weather-resistant, 100% recycled fabric and has a padded base for extra protection from rough terrain. Removable shoulder straps convert it into a backpack with ease Best Backpack for Business Travel Tortuga Travel Backpack Pro $350 at Tortuga With a sleek, minimalist design made for carry-on only business travels, the Tortuga wears like a backpack but opens in the front like a suitcase, fitting a week’s worth of clothes and accessories, plus a laptop.

Tried-and-True Favorite Away The Large $375 at Away $375 at Amazon$375 at Dick’s Sporting Goods “This is the case I reach for when I’m going on long-haul trips and need every inch of space I can get,” says market director Rae Ann Herman. The lightweight, durable shell splits into two perfect compartments— one for your clothes, and one with a compression pad for bulkier items like shoes, coats, and toiletries. “The straps inside keep everything in place, even after a rough tumble onto the baggage claim belt,” Herman adds. “And the wheels are so smooth. Gliding through the airport is a dream.” Best Space Saver Rollink Flex 360° Large $100 at Amazon For those of us who are starved for storage at home, this large spinner, which collapses down to 6” thick when empty, is the answer to our prayers.

Coolest Features Béis The Large Check-In Roller $368 at Béis $368 at Revolve$368 at Bloomingdale’s “As a chronic overpacker, I always get nervous when approaching the check-in counter. Luckily, this roller has a built-in weight indicator on the handle. I simply pick it up, and it goes from clear to red if I’ve exceeded 50 pounds,” says Oprah Daily beauty editor Genesis Rivas. We also appreciate thoughtful features like the bag strap that secures items that don’t have a trolley sleeve. And if you tend to pick up one too many souvenirs, it’s expandable up to 2 inches on top of the impressive 112 liters of interior storage space. Best Trunk FLOYD Floyd Trunk $875 at FLOYD $875 at FWRD Who said your luggage can’t be fun and functional? This case comes in vibrant, glossy hues and has red wheels that nod to the founder’s love of skateboarding and glide like buttah (you can order extra wheel sets in other bright colors, too).

Best Sling Bag Aer City Sling 3 $89 at Aer Hyper-utilitarian without looking dorky, the trim Aer sling offers a smart, hands-free design for travel minimalists. “A sling is my preferred bag style when I’m out and about, even on the weekends,” says associate market editor Justine Anthony. “This easily holds all my essentials, and I love details like the quick grab handle and the secure back pocket for my ID.

Bonus: when not in use, it easily rolls up in your suitcase, serving as an extra carrier for souvenirs as needed. Best Backpack Troubadour Apex Backpack 3.0 $249 at Amazon $249 at Walmart$249 at Bloomingdale’s Of all the backpacks we’ve tested over the years, this polished style from Troubador reigns supreme for its balance of looks, comfort, and functionality. Luxe leather accents elevate the ergonomic design, highly practical tech compartments, and trolley sleeves. “Admittedly, I’m not a backpack person, but I do make an exception for this one, especially when I need to carry my laptop and all my little bits and bobs,” says Anthony. “The feel is incredible, and I like that the design is sleek but not over the top.” Best Crossbody Cuyana Concertina Shoulder Bag $358 at Cuyana $358 at Revolve Crafted from gorgeous Italian leather with thoughtfully designed compartments, the Cuyana crossbody is an elevated workhorse that will take you from the plane to dinner while keeping your travel essentials organized and secure. “When traveling, you don’t want to worry about keeping tabs on your passport, wallet, phone, and keys,” says fashion editor Sara Klausing. “Cuyana’s shoulder bag can be worn in multiple ways, all close to the body.”

Best System Cadence The Parcel You Set $233 at Cadence This customizable system lets you decant and label all your lotions, potions, and pills into vessels of various sizes and colors.

Best Travel Wallet Royce RFID Blocking Four Zip Travel Organizer $165 at Royce $150 at Nordstrom$150 at Bloomingdale’s With its four color coded zip pockets, this sleek accessory is less a wallet, more an intuitive organizer. “I use one pocket for currency, one for my passport, one for receipts I gather along the way, and one for essentials,” says Glassman. It even has RFID-blocking technology (RFID stands for radio-frequency identification) to protect you from digital theft. Best Family Passport Holder Leatherology Family Passport Holder $160 at Leatherology If your whole clan is traveling abroad, it’s best to keep everyone’s documents in one place—especially if you’re the one in charge.

Such a simple, smart solution that I wish I thought of myself!” Comfiest Seat Cushion Sondur Travel Pillow Now 40% Off $132 $79 at Sondur Yes, it looks like oversized bubble wrap, but those air cells (which you easily inflate by blowing into the valve) help distribute pressure to help support your back, bum, and tailbone. “People think I am crazy when I travel with this, and then I offer them the opportunity to sit on it—everyone loves it,” says Glassman. Take it on flights, car trips, train rides—any lengthy journey. “It instantly upgrades your seat to first-class comfort and also works nicely as a back rest.” Best Neck Pillow Pixie Mood Inflatable Portable Travel Pillow $40 at Pixie Mood To neck pillow or not to neck pillow?
