Practical Travel Gear reviews luggage, clothing, and gadgets that have to earn their place in a bag. We favor field tests over marketing copy.

The site has been a multi-author travel-gear blog since 2009. Chris and Leah Guill have owned it since 2015. Current bylines are Dana Rebmann, Jill Robinson, and the owners.

We do not publish outdated visitor counts, keyword-rank brag sheets, or “#1 travel gear blog” claims. If you need current traffic or partnership details, email the owners — do not use old media-kit numbers.
