Travel Gear Reviews

The review snippets below all come courtesy of traveler Todd Boewe. I met him online when he reached out for advice on things on Ambergris Caye. He had brought his kids here and decided to choose their adventures while here. He did, however, shop in advance of his trip to get a few useful items. Here is is Todd’s list of 6 great products he and his daughter chose for their trip, for the full story, see my Practical Travel post. These items are all ones I would classify for vacation travel and living in Belize. They are also great for people who like to bring gifts to friends they have met here, as many do. Like Captain Jeff, who was a friend to many and always loved to arrange fishing trips for his local friends. He always brought several boxes of fish hooks

for all his favorite guides and they greatly appreciated it. This Eagle Claw hook, swivel and sinker set also is a great low-cost option for fishing lovers. 

ZBRO Dry Bag

I looked at many backpack style dry bags for our Belize trip. I chose this one for two reasons:

1. It is small enough that I could roll it and pack it inside my main backpack
2. I could use the straps in several configurations, including my favorite – using 1 strap and wearing it like a messenger bag.

ZBRO waterproof backpack– ZBRO Waterproof Backpack with two additional pockets.

It unfolds to 44 x 64 and is made of durable, rip-stop nylon. And when you are done with it, you can stuff it in the tiny, built-in stuff sack without folding.

Compact Technologies Ultra Absorbent Microfiber Towel

When my daughter suggested that we purchase quick-dry travel towels, I was dubious. I’ve had these products before, and they did not live up. she had spent months researching products for the our vacation, I decided to humor her and ordered them anyway. Our first outing was an all-day snorkel and chill trip aboard the YOLO, a beautiful catamaran perfectly equipped for the trip. I took a pool towel from the hotel, but I also threw this microfiber towel in my dry bag. My pool towel was worthless once it was soaked. This microfiber towel, on the other hand, was simple to wring out and reuse, over and over. Click to purchase the Ultra Light Absorbent Microfiber Travel Towel.

Lee Men’s Dungarees Performance Cargo Shorts

I am a cargo shorts junky. But in preparing for my trip to Belize, I had a problem. I was trying to pack everything into my Osprey Farpoint 70 travel backpack

, and my cargos were to bulky. Fortunately, I found an alternative. They were durable, fast drying, forgiving, stretchable fabric and a perfect cell phone pocket that was the ideal for my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge factory unlocked phone. I found the shorts on Amazon in $20 range. Click to purchase – Dungarees performance cargo shorts.
