Mophie Juice Pack Access Battery Case: The latest in the line of Mophie battery cases is this series for the Apple iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. Designed to protect a phone while being able to wirelessly charge it, the Mophie Juice Pack Access features a Lightning port that allows for simultaneous use while charging; a built-in USB-C port for wired access and iPhone charging; charging capability with the wireless charging pads commonly found in airports; and a system to pass wired and wireless charging power to a phone before recharging the pack itself. The product offers up to a 2,200 mAHT battery, which should be more than enough zip for an extra 12 hours use or more. The two-part case, which has rubberized support pads and raised corners for screen protection, does add a bit of bulk to an iPhone but the added heft is well worth the extra power when you need it. The Juice Pack is available in a variety of colors. $99.95; www.zagg.com/mophie.

Feet First
• Burlix Socks:
Men's styles designed for sitting, as in a long-distance aircraft, and for walking, as in visiting a land-based destination, would seem to be a perfect fit for any traveler's wardrobe. Burlix short crew socks for sitting offer lower leg compression to enhance blood flow and increase circulation, while the walkers among us will appreciate the cooling yarn, Achilles cushioning and light weight of their socks. Burlix also offers socks for standing, relaxing and for dress. $15; www.burlix.com.
• Lotuk City Map Socks: These unique socks have designs inspired by the maps of cities such as Chicago, New York, Amsterdam, Berlin, London and Paris. The Amsterdam design, for example, is characterized by a colorful red hue to suggest the city's nearby tulip fields. The crew-plus socks for men or women (1 inch above mid calf) are 28% cotton, 70% polyester and 2% spandex. One caveat: you might want to include a GPS with your Lotuk socks when it is time to actually visit one of these cities. $14; www.lotuk.com.
• 2XU Flight Comp Socks: Graduated compression designed into these socks is meant to reduce swelling and stiffness, promote healthy circulation, reduce long-haul fatigue and provide protection. Among the attributes of the unisex 2XU socks are a cotton blend, padded zones in the footbed and a vented toe panel. The socks, which are antibacterial, are available only in black. $49.95; www.2xu.com.

IFly Rose Gold Carry-on: Three things distinguish this hard-side carry-on: its remarkably attractive, impossible to overlook rose gold outer shell; its light weight (8.6 pounds); and its low price ($83). Measuring 20 by 14 by 10 inches, with an available two-inch expansion when you need it, the IFly carry-on is a bargain at the price. Four 360-degree wheels guarantee full maneuverability, while rubber carry handles and a multi-stage telescopic trolley handle make it a breeze to move about an airport and stow in an overhead bin. The bag's interior boasts a fully lined zip enclosure that creates a second compartment, a zip mesh pocket and tie-down straps. Other pieces in the Rose Gold line are two larger checked bags. $83; https://iflyluggage.com.

Freemie Liberty Mobile Breast Pump: Described by its manufacturer as the most versatile and discreet hands-free breast pump in the world, this small, portable and quiet product features a rechargeable battery-powered pump that includes a sleep timer with a shutoff setting and hospital power suction for single or double pumping. No disposables are required. A carry bag includes everything a mother needs to get pumping such as light-weight milk-collection cups that are safely and hygienically separated from the pump motor. Each cup will hold 8 ounces of milk and the system comes with 25 mm and 28 mm breast funnels (additional sizes are sold separately). The pump itself is completely portable and can be placed on a desk or work station as well as be worn with an included detachable belt clip. $199.99; https://freemie.com/products.
