12 Days of Gear: Hideo Wakamatsu Tarpaulin 2-Way Carry-On

We all love a good bit of holiday cheer. But in order to get to that point, we must endure hellish security lines, airport delays, and winter weather travel conditions that can take the life out of the holiday season. That’s why we can’t get enough of the very durable, flexible, water-resistant and shred resistant Hideo Wakamatsu Tarpaulin 2-Way Carry-On ($179; Buy Here) with storage for everything you will need traveling this winter. Because there is no heavy metal frame, this 2-way suitcase (meaning, you can roll it or pull out the straps on the back to turn it in to a backpack) will be your best friend as you’re running from terminal to terminal hoping you can make your next flight; after all, it weighs only 6 pounds. And because it’s made out of an incredibly strong tarp material, you can be sure that even if you check it, it will be ready to go for your next adventure.
