Thin, durable and sophisticated, a Barbour jacket is irresistible to those who appreciate a little polished pragmatism. Barbour's famous waxed-cotton shells provide all-weather protection for a range of outdoor pursuits on land and at sea, making them a must in every traveller's suitcase, surely. Rifling through the house's 125-year-old archives, ALEXACHUNG has reimagined signature designs, combining playful details with modernised silhouettes. Barbour's Mildred trench coat is the heritage label's iconic rain jacket, and ALEXACHUNG's iteration is cut from a blend of linen and cotton for a lighter feel - notice the cropped sleeve too. It's a modular piece, so remove the detachable corduroy collar to reveal the signature checked trim layer underneath and use the belt to cinch your waist when transitioning from country walk to dinner date.

Not the savvy/ smug owner of a priority pass? Consider LoungeBuddy, an app that allows you to find and book the best airport lounges - it's guaranteed to make your journey feel a little cushier. It's free to download, too. Search by airport and read about each available lounge and the amenities. Maybe you're in need of a head massage or an endless supply of hamburgers - use that filter function to find what you need. Vet each lounge via in-app user reviews and images and when you've settled on a lounge that is "a bit of you", book in your visit (for right now or in the future). Check if you can check in at any lounges for free thanks to your frequent-flier programmes or credit cards (the app will be able to tell you what you're entitled to).

Not having enough space in your suitcase can mean you're forced to book on additional items and face extra baggage fees in order to get from A to B with all your vital loot. Annoying - for certain - but Samsonite helps make things a bit more compact with these compression bags. Made from an airtight, waterproof translucent material, they're designed to vacuum-pack clothes - with the added benefit of not needing a vacuum to do so. Creating enough space for you to store twice as much as a standard-packed suitcase - these bags squeeze out air when rolled up - you can shop freely knowing that one way or another your suitcase will close.

Is it possible to make foot hygiene sound alluring? Probably not. Let's throw in the words "magical" and "miracle in a jar" for a little oomph and intrigue. Leaning in? Good. The deal is this: foot hygiene cream doesn't get much better than this wunderkind by Margaret Dabbs. Developed to help counteract those all-too-common foot complaints - sore or dry skin, discoloured nails and athlete's foot - MD's concoction is a must-pack lotion for sports enthusiasts and those susceptible to ails of the foot. It can be used daily for up to two weeks as an intensive treatment and then used as needed thereafter. We apply ours twice-a-week (for preventative measures) to keep our feet enviably smooth and soft and beach-ready.
