Women's Indispensable Travel Pants
These modern classics have the contemporary lines and smooth, 
flattering fit you can depend on for an entire trip. In fact, they're 
so versatile you may not need to pack another pair. They're as casual 
or as dressy as you choose: Wear them with a blouse and blazer for an 
elegant look, with a turtleneck and multipocketed vest for more 
casual outings. And their substantial fabric - a blend of 63% 
polyester, 33% rayon, and 4% Lyrcac for comfortable two-way stretch - 
is as good looking and long wearing as wool, without wool's 
fussiness; it defies wrinkles, even after days of packing and 
wearing. Clean, no-waistband style has a side zipper and front darts 
for a trim shape; a passport-size pocket behind the waist keeps cash, 
credit card, or papers neatly concealed. $89 

Overnight Essentials Bag
Compact, sophisticated, and ingeniously organized, this carry-on bag 
keeps all your travel essentials close at hand - a reassuring feeling 
in case your luggage is lost or delayed in transit. Open the smart, 
handbag-like exterior to reveal multiple compartments: one with 
compression straps that can hold a change of clothes, another with 
elasticized shoe pockets. The two spill-proof plastic cases - ideal 
for toiletries - are conveniently removable for trips to the 
bathroom. Made of premium nylon twill, the Overnight Essentials Bag
can be carried by its leather-wrapped handles or a detachable padded 
shoulder strap. 11" x 17 1/2" x 7". $99 

Men's ComfortMaxv Turtleneck
Polar bears know how to weather the winter: Each of their hairs is 
hollow to trap air and provide a warm layer of insulation. Our 
ComfortMaxv Turtlenecks do the same thing for Homo sapiens. They're 
made of a remarkable new jersey-knit fabric that blends 74% 
high-performance ThermaStatv polyester with 26% natural cotton for 
the ultimate in warmth and moisture control. ThermaStatv also traps 
air in its hollow fibers, providing exceptional insulation with very 
little weight (just 8 ounces per shirt). The fabric also wicks 
moisture efficiently, which means you stay dry and comfortable when 
you're walking or cycling. These shirts dry quickly - more than 50% 
faster than 100% cotton. $32 

Women's Featherweight Leather Jacket
Most leather jackets are best left in your closet at home - they're 
just too heavy, bulky, and impractical for travel. Our Featherweight 
Leather Jacket is exceptional on all counts: It's so lightweight and 
supple that you can easily pack it, and so versatile you'll wear it 
everywhere on your itinerary. We've used fine Italian calfskin and 
eliminated the shoulder pads for a finished weight of just 26 ounces 
of unencumbered luxury. Best of all, the leather is treated to repel 
water and stains, so you can enjoy this jacket in any weather. The 
classic walking length covers your hips and provides the perfect 
proportion with pants or skirts. $399 

Guaranteed 100% - No Questions - No Exceptions
We promise a full refund if you are not totally satisfied at any time 
you own a TravelSmith product. Tested everywhere from the Amazon to 
Zihuatenejo, TravelSmith products are designed to withstand the 
rigors of the road. That's why we stand confidently and fully behind 
everything we make. 

Airplane Comfort Kit
The airlines' idea of comfort just doesn't measure up: Scratchy, 
handkerchief-size, shared-with-strangers blankets and tiny, lumpy 
pillows are a recipe for jet lag. Next time you fly, pack your own 
Airplane Comfort Kit instead. The cloud-soft fleece pillow unzips to 
reveal a generous (36" x 60") double-faced fleece blanket that 
surrounds you (and only you!) with heavenly softness and lightweight 
warmth. There's even a thoughtfully placed pocket at the bottom in 
which to nestle your feet. The pillow can be inflated to precisely 
your preferred level of firmness. Blanket and pillow cover can be 
washed and dried by machine. Pillow also available separately. For 
those desiring added lumbar support, the inflatable back pillow is a 
great comfort add-on. $38 

Men's Classic Packable Raincoat
These handsome raincoats have the superior quality and classic style 
of those fashionable English macs. But they go one better by being 
lightweight, packable, and 100% waterproof - ergo, a far better value 
and the ideal raincoats for the road. (Most raincoats are not 
actually rainproof!) Made of suede-soft microfiber, with a frankly 
sensual texture, they weigh just 26 ounces. Best of all, each folds 
into a compact travel pouch built into the lining. The travel pouch 
slips easily into any carry-on. All styles are as impervious to 
fashion trends as it is to rain and wind. Generous fit. $159 

Medium Pack-It Envelope
These lightweight carriers are the answer to every frequent packer's 
prayers. Not only do they organize your travel wardrobe by category 
or function, Pack-It Envelopes prevent wrinkles by keeping clothing 
from shifting around in transit. You'll even find you can pack more 
in less space because the Pack-It compresses its load. Three colors 
allow color-coded organization. Each Pack-It Envelope comes with a 
folding board and instructions for quick and easy folding. The medium 
size holds 8 to 12 dress shirts, blouses, or trousers. From Eagle 
Creek. $25 

Swiss Army Multi Tool
A screw falls out of your eyeglasses. A button pops off your pants. 
The bike you rented needs a brake adjustment. From the people who 
brought you Swiss Army knives, this Multi Tool corrects a multitude 
of minor setbacks on the road and is compact enough to carry in your 
pocket. In addition to the usual assortment of blades, you'll find a 
wide range of screwdrivers, a bottle opener, can opener, corkscrew, 
ballpoint pen, tweezers, pliers, hex wrenches, scissors, a sewing eye 
- 34 different tools in all. Imported from Switzerland. 3 1/2" long 
(closed). $75 


NOTABLE NEWS 

CHILDREN FLYING SOLO 

The holidays are here -- the season many children equate with shiny 
new toys, gingerbread cookies, steaming mugs of hot chocolate... and 
airplane travel. Each year, millions of kids between the ages of 
five and 12 fly unaccompanied on major airlines. If your children 
or grandchildren will be flying unaccompanied this holiday season, 
you'll want to be prepared and knowledgeable before they get on 
the plane. 

Below are a few tips from TravelSmith to help you make sure the 
children in your life are safe and happy travelers this 
holiday season. 

? Try to book only nonstop or direct flights so that the child does 
not need to change planes. Changing planes can be intimidating and 
scary, especially in major airports. 

? Where a minor must be assisted by airline personnel in order to 
change planes, expect a fee of $20 - $50. 

? Do not drop your child off at the curb! Parents or legal 
guardians are responsible for bringing the minor directly to 
the departure gate. 

? Get to the airport early. Parents or legal guardians should allot 
time to fill out all paperwork required for unaccompanied minors, 
most importantly the paperwork that travels with the child. 

? Because in-flight food service can be slow or delayed, it's a 
good idea to pack some favorite snacks for the child to carry onto 
the flight. 

? Parents or legal guardians should provide the airline with written 
information about how flight delays or cancellations should be 
handled, including emergency contacts and a means to pay for 
necessities, such as overnight accommodations. 

? Upon arrival at the destination point, airline personnel are 
required to escort the child off the plane. They are not allowed to 
turn the child over to a waiting parent or guardian without seeing 
the adult's identification and matching it with the information on 
the form filled out before departure. 

? An authorized parent or guardian must pick the child up at the 
arrival gate. Not only is it important for the child's sense of 
security to be met personally at the arrival gate, but in some cases, 
children will be turned over to local child welfare authorities if no 
parent or guardian is present to pick them up.
