From beach to ski resort, these nine novel essentials – by Rimowa, Canon, Knoll and more – are musts for the seasoned traveller.
1 Salsa Air by Rimowa
Rimowa’s lightest case has a multi-stage telescopic handle for effortless manoeuvrability. It’s available in easy-to-spot colours: white, lime green, purple and two shades of blue – and no black. From $570
2 Zvezdochka by Nike
Relauched in January, Marc Newson’s Croc-like recyclable shoe from 2004 was inspired by the footwear of Russian astronauts and named for a canine sent into space. A breathable cage contains a removable cushioned sock that gives protection from the elements. $360
3 MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela
Martin Margiela’s edgy, angular bag is made from textured techno-fabric, tough enough to tote scuba gear to and from the ocean in style. It also comes in black. $670

5 18 x 50 IS by Canon
On adventures to the Adirondacks and beyond, take along Canon’s rugged all-weather binoculars, equipped with 50‑millimetre lenses and ultra-high 18x magnification for sharp, distortion-free images. $2,400

8 TG-850 by Olympus
Unlike phone cameras, Tough by Olympus is extreme sport approved and water-, crush-, shock- and freeze-proof. A super-wide lens, 180‑degree flip LCD, time interval shooting and video capabilities make it a snap to capture shots on the slopes. $300
