WaterField’s Duo Dopp Kit is exactly what the traveler needs for toiletries

A long time ago, I told you about a wet-shaving travel kit I had assembled for my husband.  Since then, I replaced the original leather razor case with the beautiful, sturdy, and safe WaterField Razor Case, which still looks great and performs wonderfully.  What doesn’t look so great now is the faux leather bag I had originally gotten to hold the whole kit.  WaterField Designs comes to the rescue again with their Duo Dopp Kit that could hold the entire kit and caboodle.

The Dopp bag is available in waxed canvas (shown) or in 1050-denier black ballistic nylon.  The exterior has full-grain leather accents.  A leather grab handle makes it easy to carry and even easy to hang from a hook when you use it.  Inside, the bag has two zippered mesh compartments to organize your toiletries and a gold fabric lining to make the contents more easily visible.  All zippers are premium YYK brand, and the exterior zipper is waterproof.    The Duo Dopp measures 9.5″ long X 5″ wide X 3.5″ tall and weighs only 6.5 ounces.

The Duo Dopp Kit is $79.00 in either the waxed canvas or the ballistic nylon option from WaterField Designs.

The Blackboard ewriter is larger previous Boogie Boards and features a semi-transparent writing surface that allows you to use templates with grids and lines, or even trace drawings.

Jelly smartphone, ZTE Axon M smartphone, Cat S41 smartphone, and more – Weekly roundup

We posted reviews of three different Android smartphones this week, from the tiny Jelly Pro to the double screened Axon M, and the ruggedized Cat S41.

I also changed site themes this week and am still working out a few kinks so let me know if you see anything obvious that needs to be fixed. Here’s a full list of everything that we posted this week, enjoy!

This tiny USB Type-C to HDMI adapter is perfect for travel

I have a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter that I use to connect my 12-inch MacBook to an LG 29″ monitor on my desk. The size of that adapter doesn’t matter to me because it never leaves the desk. But if I carried a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter with me in my gear bag every day, I would prefer to have the smallest adapter available. Nonda offers just such an adapter.

The Nonda USB-C to HDMI Adapter is very small and features 4K with resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 @60Hz in a fold-up form factor that you’ll have no trouble finding space to store it in your bag or pocket.

The wrap around braided cable helps keep the adapter small and compact, and the $22.99 price tag won’t empty your wallet.

Read more about the Nonda adapter at nonda.co or head over to Amazon to order one.

Peak Design’s Everyday Sling 5L bag makes downsizing fun

At least I hope the Peak Design Everyday Sling 5L will make downsizing fun because they sent me one to try and I’m going to put it to the test next week by leaving my full-sized Timbuk2 messenger at home while I use the 5L in its place. This is PD’s smallest bag which has been designed to carry camera gear, small drones, up to an 11″ tablet, and your EDC.

The Everyday Sling 5L features Peak Design’s FlexFold dividers which allow you to customize the interior of the bag and reconfigure it as needed. The strap offers multiple carry styles from crossbody to even waist carry.

Peak Design’s well-made functional bags aren’t new to me. I’ve reviewed their Everyday Messenger Bag and their Everyday Tote bag. But the Sling 5L is significantly smaller, so switching to it for even one day may be a challenge. But it’s a challenge that I’m happy to accept as it will make me examine what I really need and what I think I need to carry with me each day. Stay tuned for my review coming soon!
