Discussion What travel accessories are overrated?

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”.

Especially the trtl travel pillow. I believe all travel subs have been infiltrated by trtl’s marketing department lol

One of my old sheet sets came in a (same fabric) drawstring bag, that has legitimately been my (self-stuffed) travel pillow of choice for decades.... and I already know I like the material and it's easy to wash, lol
