Outfitted For Adventure Travel From African safaris to Indian trekking to Brazilian backpacking, the right gear will make the trip By Jason Kerkmans
1. FIRST AID The Smart Travel package, from Adventure Medical Kits, goes beyond mere bandages, with electrolytes, antidiarrheals, field dressings, a thermometer, and more. $40; adventuremedicalkits.com 2. CAMERA Nikon's new compact 13.5-megapixel Coolpix P6000 has an onboard GPS that logs exactly where in the world each photo was taken. $500; nikonusa.com LIGHT The battery slot in Gerber's Omnivore can accept a range of sizes, from standards like AA and AAA to camera cells like CR123. $39; gerbergear.com PURIFIER The slim, 3.6-ounce SteriPen Adventurer uses UV light to kill all the nasties lurking in that hostel tap. $100; steripen.com 3. STUFF SACK Granite Gear's AirVent DryBloc Solid lets you get away with a smaller pack (or more souvenirs) by compressing clothes into a tight bundle while still allowing moisture to escape. $27; granitegear.com 4. PANTS Cloudveil's comfortable Dyno Pant is made from a stretchy, quick-drying nylon twill that resists wrinkles even after it's been stuffed into a pack for a week. $75; cloudveil.com 5. PACK With theft-resistant zippers, padded gadget pouches, and a central locking point to secure the main compartment, Eagle Creek's 65-liter Truist is the most traveler-friendly backpack we've seen. Pack, $230; Travel Safe TSA Lock, $9; eaglecreek.com 6. SHOES Your travel plans should never be restricted by your shoes. Our favorite go-anywhere pair is the Merrell Gemini, which has a Vibram sole for rough roads and a waterproof leather upper that never looks out of place. $125; merrell.com 7. SAFE The generous padding in Pacsafe's InnerSafe 19L protects pricey electronic equipment against damage, while the stainless-steel mesh prevents slash-and-grabs when the bag is locked to a secure fixture. $100; pacsafe.com
