Freightliner — No-nonsense travelers will appreciate the durability of this nylon bag sporting the same wheels as those found on the world's best in-line skates. The sturdy, stylish, and roomy Freightliner is built to withstand tosses and tumbles en route, and it's even weatherproof. With two main storage areas and a large end-cubicle, this smart design is built to last. Was: $295. Sale price: $175.
Men's Synchilla Vest — When a jacket is too much and a shirt isn't enough, this core warmer is as versatile as the weather is finicky. Wear it as a layer on foggy nights or over a T-shirt when going for a morning coffee stroll. The lightweight Synchilla vest has zippered hand-warmer pockets for extra comfort. It's also recyclable through Patagonia's Common Threads Recycling Program. Was: $70. Sale price: $30.
