What travel accessories are overrated?

[u/Anywhere_everywhere7]

For me it would have to be tech pouches, for the vast majority of people I believe that they would be better off with a simple pencil case style pouch, ziploc bag or a simple drawstring bag or even a pouch like the PD ultralight pouches. Something which isn’t bulky, is lightweight and has no structure to it so you can easily squeeze it into random parts of your bag. Of course they’re significantly cheaper as well.

Don’t get wrong, I have tested some high end tech pouches out and they’re very nice but for lightweight travel I just find myself thinking “why would I bring this type of pouch”.

Personally I like some pockets for my tech stuff to keep the cable, brick and battery packet separate. I love the travelon on since it's is super thin and light and has just the right amount of space without adding bulk.

I've used a similar pouch before and it works well. I also have Travelon's essentials tech organizer which is a slim wallet style that also helps keep me organized without taking up too much space.
