I attended the 2014 International Travel Goods Show to find out about all the latest and greatest travel products. I admit that I have a addiction to travel products and have a hard time finding something I do not already own. At least that is what I thought until I attended the Travel Goods Show and found a whole bunch of new and exciting products.
There were over 250 exhibitors showcasing their products at the three day show. In addition to the many new products there were some interesting takes on the products that we have been using for years. Security and comfort were big themes in products this year. Listed below are some of the many products that I found interesting.
Allett
Allett produces thin wallets in both nylon and leather for men and women. Many of the wallets contain RFID protection to protect you against credit card and identity theft. This is important because most new credit cards and passports hold RFID chips that can be read by someone with a scanner standing next to you.
Door Jammer
This is for people who want an additional level of security when they stay at hotels or hostels. The Door Jammer is portable and easy to use. It weighs only eight ounces will easily fit in a purse or bag.
Grayl Water Filtration Cup
The Grayl is a portable water filtration cup that works like a coffee press. There are two types of filters that are available with the Grayl. The Filter will remove bacteria and protozoa from the water. The Purifier filters and also has virus protection. Both filters last for 300 uses and are replaceable.
TracDot
The TracDot is a small luggage tracking device that you place in your suitcase to track where your luggage is. It uses the cellular network to track your bag and lets you know via email, text or online when your bag arrives at the airport. If your bag goes to a different airport than you do you will be able to tell the airline where it is located it without them trying to track it down at multiple airports.
Scrubba Washbag
The Scrubba ideal product for people that like to travel light. Instead of doing laundry in a dirty sink you place the cloths in the bag with some detergent, rub them around and rinse. The bag weighs less than six ounces.
Piggyback Rider
A lightweight child carrier for children over 2 1/2 and up to 60 pounds. This replaces bulky backpack carriers and strollers. I think my brother would like of these to use with my niece.
Napwrap
A multifunction product that can act as a personal armrest, sleep mask, headband or phone holder. The Napwrap is one product that performs multiple tasks is great for light packers.
Aero Tray
A portable workstation that gives you more room to work on a plane. The Aero Tray is also great for use in coffee houses or hotels where space is at a premium. It folds flat and will easily fit in a bag.
Flanabags
A fashionable alternative to the zip lock bag. The Flanabag is a TSA compliant vinyl travel bag with integrated handle and many color and pattern options.
Aerocover
Airplane headrests are dirty and filled with germs. The Aerocover solves this problem with a adjustable headrest cover that fits on most commercial airline seats.
Miists
These are slim credit credit sized bottles that contain products that we all need when traveling. Hand Sanitizer, Breath Spray, Sunscreen, Insect Repellant and Hair Spray are just some of the products available. These slim products will fit easily in a pocket or bag.
OneSimCard
Using your mobile phone when traveling to other countries is expensive. The OneSimCard is a prepaid mobile service that saves you money on expensive roaming charges when traveling out of your home country. It works in over 200 countries and comes with two number for the USA and Europe.
Cool It Caddy
Cool It Caddy makes stylish insulated bags with built in ice packs. Use them to store your makeup, medication or even snacks when you are at the beach or golf course.
These are just some of the great new products that I saw at the Travel Goods Show. I will have reviews on some of these products soon.

I’m obsessed with the Scrubba! How awesome is that! Since I’m always doing laundry on the road since I pack so light, this would be hugely helpful to me.
Jeff says
It is a cool product. I hate doing laundry in the sink so I can’t wait to try it out.

Wow! Lots of really great products here. I want to check out that toiletry bag and I’ve been drilling over the scrubba for months now. So jealous…

I’ve been wanting that water filter! I’m also interested in knowing how that onesimcard works because I just had a case of buying a prepaid sim in another country and it not working with my phone. Thanks for sharing these travel products!!

I activated the One Sim Card and it seems to work fine. I have not tried it outside the U.S. yet.
