Getting your player ready...
With airlines cracking down on baggage weight, your lightest option for a checked bag is a big, roomy duffel bag. But flight delays and overburdened baggage-handling systems mean your bag could be sitting on the tarmac for an extended period, which would leave a typical duffel soaked through in bad weather. Not so Seal Line’s waterproof Storm Sacks. Made of featherweight nylon with a PVC-free waterproof coating, the bags have roll-top closures and sewn and taped seams that make them virtually watertight. Available in blue or orange in seven sizes from 165 to 3,661 cubic inches. Storm Sacks, $11-$35, depending on size, sealline or 800-531-9531. Judi Dash, Gear & Gadgets Syndicate
