Mountain Engineering Cooperative is an amazing store. Spend the last three days browsing, picking up stuff.

So many finds, here's my top three

A wee lantern perfect for clipping on to suitcases, to belts, great for those backpacker trips where you want to pack/unpack without waking everybody else up $5

Backpack with wheels, with a clip on daybag perfect for carryons, yet spacious enough to hold three pairs of shorts, 2 shirts, three t-shirts, one set nightwear, one pant, sandals. I used the day bag as a camera bag, the two side water bottle pockets are perfect for those bigger lenses, and inside there's enough space to put in your camera plus other essentials $112

Small rolled up towel that can easily fit in your pocket yet is big enough to double as a bath towel. Micromeshed so wicks moisture neatly $20
