Nex Pioneer Carry On: Hawaii Edition ($185)
Nex's Pioneer Carry On is ideal for those who want something durable and minimalist with a bit of luxe flair. The interior of this carry-on features a unique, velvety-soft fabric that is water-, bacterial-, and mold-resistant. It has a full zipper cover to keep things secure and compressed, with two zippered pockets on the outside. This carry-on is also 20 inches tall, which is on the smaller side, making it compact enough for over 30 different airlines' overhead bins. Featuring a polycarbonate exterior and smooth gliding wheels, this no-frills option is great if you're looking for something simple, but made with high-quality materials.

Editor Quote: "When I travel with hair tools or items that can potentially break while in transit, I usually wrap them in clothes for extra protection. However, this next-level interior features a smooth material the brand calls VelvetWeave that offers protection from the bumps of traveling — it's like I'm carrying my essentials in a giant jewelry box." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Shopping
