Possibly the greatest invention for hotel workouts, active walking meetings, golf dates or sightseeing in hot, humid locales: Arctic Cool Instant Cooling Shirts with new technology keep you cool, regardless of the weather or level of meeting pressure. Way beyond wicking, the high-tech fabric is made with patent-pending HydroFreeze X Technology. Athletic designs are made from a light stretchy fabric 94 percent polyester and 6 percent Spandex — perfect for running, yoga, walking and other sports. The cooling technology kicks in as soon as you begin to perspire and disperses moisture to keep you dry. The HydroFreeze X chilling effect is activated with a light spritz of water and begins to work immediately. Just re-spritz to reactivate. Styles (available for men, women and children) in great color choices include crew neck tees, polo shirts, v-necks, long-sleeve tees, golf shorts and golf visors. Completely machine washable in cold water, the fabric also contains antimicrobial elements that fight odor.

In case you plan on shopping while away, VinniBags from Ellessco LLC help transport that special bottle of wine or other breakable, leakable find safely through the airport luggage sorting system and all the way home. The air cushion design also makes it a good choice for camera lenses. The TSA-approved accessory stores flat or rolled, and can even do double duty as a headrest or lumbar support pillow once inflated. When fully inflated, air chambers provide cushioning, and the sealing mechanism can even keep the VinniBags inflated for use as a floating tool.

Other great, new travel-ready finds are Hydaway Collapsible Bottles, available in adult and children’s sizes. These nifty watertight containers can be reduced to a coaster-sized footprint and stashed in your day bag, pocket or carry-on, then expanded for filling with your choice of beverage. Features include an ergonomic carry handle, flip-up straws, a wide base to resist tipping over, a FDA-certified safety and a one-year warranty. When fully expanded, the small bottles are 4 inches high and contain up to 12 ounces; large bottles are 6 inches high and contain up to 21 ounces. The bottles are BPA-free, dishwasher safe and reusable, and come in fun colors such as Bluebird, Tangerine, Storm Blue, Midnight, Rose, Moss and Opal. There’s even a carrycase that zips closed to keep your bottle clean.
