Since we have seen women’s travel accessories, it is only fair that we see that for men too. Have you seen a man packing for a trip from Delta state to Kaduna for NYSC? His luggage is usually manageable because men pack light when they’re travelling. Unless carrying specific gear or packing for a long trip. Wondering what travel accessories are tailored to men’s need? You’re in luck.

Below are 10 travel accessories for men:
Travel Bag(s)
/product/00/622135/1.jpg?1079)
There are different on-the-go bags for men depending on the purpose of their trip. A suitcase is fine if you have cube bags and suit bag where everything is packed separately. Otherwise, an anti-theft backpack with a USB port, a duffel bag of heavy-duty cotton canvas or a laptop bag with lots of storage space is just right.
Garment bag
This bag is complete with compartments for keeping different clothing crisps. It has a segment for towels, shirts, trousers, ties, shoes, etc. All you have to do is put the right item in the right space and you’re good to go. No wonder packing for men is way easier than packing for women.
Hanging Toiletry Bag (Dopp kit)
Guys, you know packing and repacking isn’t your thing. You could get a hanging toiletry bag and fill its compartments with all your toiletry needs? All you have to do is hang it on the towel rack behind the door or in the bathroom. It should contain deodorants, shaving cream or stick, bathing soap, toothbrush & paste, band-aids, aspirin, nail clippers, lip balm, razor, etc.
Mobile Shaver
Okay, getting a trusted barber in a new city can be tricky. So it’s best you carry your own shaver for your moustache and beard needs. It should fit in nicely with your toiletries in your toiletry bag.
Tech Gadgets
Have you ever heard of a man travelling without tech? Really? Gadgets such as Power bank, noise-cancelling headphones, earpieces, Bluetooth speakers, and camera are some must-have travel accessory for most guys. A tread bracelet is a simplified toolbox for multipurpose functions, which counts as a technological gadget.
Sleep items
Hey, ladies aren’t the only ones who need sleep accessories like neck pillows and eye shields. While you are at it, get a compression sock for when you want to take a long flight. It will help with blood flow by improving circulation and reducing swelling. It’ll also keep your feet warm during the trip.
Shoes
Make sure you have a pair of slippers or sandals and slip-on shoes or sneakers. The waterproof sneakers are cool for trudging around during the rainy season. A light easy to wear footwear with good traction is great for adventuring in nature.
Universal/Multipurpose Adaptor
An adaptor/power outlet with different slots for different heads and USB port is necessary for any journey. It saves you would have used to keep an extension. It is also handy for travelling to a country with a different voltage regulation than Nigeria.
Wallet Purse/Passport Holder
This masculine purse looks just like a wallet. Except it is large enough to hold important documents like a yellow card, passport, bank cards, identification cards, etc. It looks like a notebook and less like a pouch. If you don’t like owning a money belt or fanny pack on your waist, this item is a suitable replacement.
Rain Protection
When you travel during the rainy season (which we are in Nigeria now), it is always good to have rain protection. You can either have a hooded rain poncho that you can wear on top of your outfits, or a wine bottle umbrella. A wine bottle umbrella is simply an umbrella in a casing shaped like a wine bottle. For those who want a little ‘effizzy’ in their luggage.
You can get these items in online stores (like Jumia & Konga) or offline shops (like shop right, shopping malls) etc.
