ears to seal out

every engine drone

and infant wail.

Mack’s Silicone

chatty seatmates.

mAh) to power

multiple gadgets.

It’s the best

product of its kind,

with page-turn

buttons, lighting

that’s glowy, not

harsh, and a

battery that lasts.

NECK PILLOW

One flight with this

funny-looking neck

wrap was plenty to

convince our

skeptical testers. It

has a springy

internal skeleton

head, so you don’t

jerk awake. Tr tl ,

$30.

WATER
BOTTLE

Collapsible bottles
tend to start
collapsing right
when you’re mid-
sip. This one has a
sturdy grip sleeve,
so it keeps its
shape. Nomader

SLEEP MASK

Not even the fiercest daylight can breach it: the molded cups

prevent gaps while keeping pressure off your lids. Bucky 40 Blinks
