12 Amazon 'Holy Grail' Travel Items That Have Thousands of Shopper Reviews — and They Start at $10

Don't forget to pack any of these travel essentials.Including anti-aging sunscreen, comfy clothing and footwear, and items to beat jet-lag.

There are beloved products, and then there are holy grails. As a shopping editor, I come across the term constantly, and when I do, I think, “Here it is. This is the one.” Amazon reviewers, in particular, lean on this terminology, but only for stuff that has truly earned the title. You could say "holy grail" is the holy grail of compliments. But once you see more than one customer christening a product with this nickname, you can stop your search, because you’ve found a tried-and-true option fellow shoppers love.

Such is the case with plenty of travel items that have been deemed holy grails by shoppers for your packing list. They include everything from a sunscreen that’s made the cut after all the other brands were road-tested, a lesser-known stain remover wipe that’s become an Amazon no. 1 best-seller, and a reusable water bottle that’s managed to outrank its brand-name competitors because it’s more “elegant to carry around.” There’s even a brilliant pair of airport shoes that will have you kicking your sneakers to the curb.

The Amazon reviewers have spoken, and these are their 12 popular, coveted-yet-quite-attainable holy grail products for travel.

Kòm yon vwayajè konseye ak antouzyasm deyò, mwen toujou kap chèche destinasyon ki gen yon anpil nan opòtinite yo dwe aktif. Monte bisiklèt, kayak, rafting, plonje etonan - mwen fè tout sa e mwen renmen li tout. Se konsa, lè mwen tande ke Intrepid Vwayaj te ofri yon monte, bisiklèt, kayaking Vwayaj Sri Lanka, mwen te siyen imedyatman, epi byen vit te kòmanse mete ansanm yon lis anbalaj.

Depi chak aktivite egzije pwòp Kovèti pou pwòp li yo, mwen te oblije mete yon anpil nan panse nan sa mwen te pote sou avanti a twa semèn long. Epi, paske mwen ta prefere pa dwe hauling alantou valiz masiv miltip, mwen toujou vwayaje limyè ak atik ki travay byen atravè aktivite miltip - di, janm ki gwo pou tou de randone ak bisiklèt, yon pisin kouvri-up ki double kòm yon chemiz chak jou oswa abiye, ak moun kap ranmase, ak randone ki ta ka tounen soti nan santye a nan lari yo. Mwen menm mwen te oblije pran klima bèl bagay Sri Lanka a an kont (chans, mwen te vizite pandan sezon sèk la, men mwen te konnen lapli te toujou posib); sa vle di ke mwen ta bezwen rad ki te imedyatman-mechan, refwadisman, ak rapid-siye.

Si w ap dirije nan Meksik, Maròk, oswa Machu Picchu (oswa ou gen chans ase yo vizite Sri Lanka), isit la nan sa ou pral bezwen pou pwochen vwayaj aktif ou a sezon prentan oswa ete. Lis sa a anbalaj fooprof ap kenbe ou konfòtab, sèk, ak san danje sou santye yo, wout yo, ak rivyè pou ou ka konsantre sou pran plezi.
