The WIRED-tested commute essentials we swear by

PLUS: Bags for every trip.

WIRED Gear Logo - Deals of the Week

With autumn around the corner, the mornings are just crisp enough to swap short sleeves for oxfords. It's a great time to edit down your everyday carry. Make sure you’re prepared for your next trip—or trip back to the office—with these WIRED-tested phone chargers, MagSafe accessories, gym bags, suitcases, and totes.


  • The Ridge metal MagSafe wallet ($150) is solid and high-quality, and you won’t have to worry about misplacing or forgetting your wallet wherever your commute takes you.
  • We love this thick, elevated fleece hoodie from Mad Happy ($175). It’s durable and cozy enough to transition into fall (or a freezing office).
  • Don’t get caught without juice. Grab a Ridge Power Bank ($79).
  • We take Away’s Everywhere Tote ($158) literally everywhere.
  • Also from Away, the Softside Carry-On ($225) is our go-to luggage—it’s scuff-resistant, lightweight, and flexible if you overpack.
  • More of an over-the-shoulder type of person? We love the versatile Calpak Fit Gym Duffel ($155).
