Hero Grill: Convenience is the watch word with this product, which was created by the Athens, Ga.-based company Fire & Flavor. Just the thing for campers, picnickers and soft-adventure folks, the 9.35-pound Hero Grill set comprises the dishwasher-safe, foldable grill; a single-use charcoal pod; a nested meat thermometer that is always at hand; a bamboo spatula; a bamboo cutting board; and a waterproof carry and storage case. The biodegradable fuel pod contains quick-lighting, plant-based charcoal that provides 60 minutes of grilling time and extinguishes easily with water for an eco-friendly disposal. The Hero's grilling surface, which has a non-stick ceramic coating for easy cleaning, measures 13.1 by 8.97 inches. $99.95 (charcoal refill pod two-pack, $19.95); https://herogrill.fireandflavor.com/products/hero-grilling-system.

Samsonite Mobile Solution Classic Carryall: New from the Samsonite luggage collection comes this extremely light weight (1.1 pounds) commuter/weekend bag. Made of a water-resistant nylon fabric with a vinyl trim, the Classic Carryall features a modest 18.5 by 12.3 by 6.5-inch overall footprint but is big enough internally to host a 14.1-inch laptop and tablets up to 9.7 inches in its padded tech panel. Other features include an exterior front zippered pocket, a zippered interior pocket, two slip pockets and a pen sleeve. Travelers will appreciate a luggage pass-through sleeve for easy mobility and padded grip handles.

And now for traveling in style: The Madison is engineered to work with the four-spinner-wheel Pet-Trek mobile device by sliding down the handle for virtually weight-less transport.

Sweat Mate: One of the down sides of fitness exercise, travel and life on the go can be wet, smelly and soiled clothes and what to do with them when you are ready to move on. The Sweat Mate, a water-proof stuff stack, was created to be the answer. Designed to keep the dirty stuff from ruining the good stuff in your luggage or gym bag, this product has an outer shell that is 100% cotton and an interior wall of laminated polyester with a sealed seam to prevent water or odors from escaping. When you are ready to clean up, turn the bag inside out, rinse the liner and air dry. The Sweat Mate is available in three sizes and in 20 prints/colors. $18 to $28; www.thesweatmate.com.
