Chrome's recently launched Treadwell Travel Collection combines tough functionality with the low-key, clean aesthetics we've come to expect from the Portland-based brand. The collection includes 10 duffels, backpacks, and organizers, all made from 1680 denier ballistic nylon with black leather trim, designed for urban travel. Here are a few of our favorite products.

Surveyor Duffel Bag ($160)

(Chrome)

The Surveyor is a bomber duffel that you won't have to worry about checking at an airport or tossing into the back of a cab. It features a 44-liter main compartment as well as two outer organization pockets and a separate space for shoes. A smart strap configuration allows the bag to be worn over the shoulder or like a backpack.

Hightower Transit Backpack ($180)

(Chrome)

Travel-oriented backpacks have become ubiquitous but the Hightower nails the perfect blend of form and function. The top-loader has four interior organizational pockets, a heavily padded laptop sleeve, and a soft-lined phone pocket. We appreciate the extra handles on the side and top which make it easy to grab and carry briefcase style.

Kilo Dopp Kit ($25)

(Chrome)

Dopp kits may be one of the most underappreciated travel accessories but keeping your toiletries, or charging cords and spare batteries, organized is the sign of a seasoned traveler. The Kilo is made from the same ballistic nylon as the rest of the Treadwell collection and can be hung on a tree branch or towel rack via a small webbing strap that snaps closed.

Vega Transit Brief ($160)

(Chrome)

The Vega mimics the Transit's design but has a slightly smaller size and more versatile carry options. It features an extra-padded laptop sleeve, a top-mounted handle like a standard brief bag, a removable cross-body shoulder strap, and hide-away backpack shoulder straps. A rear pass-thru slot lets it slip over roller bag handles making it an easy carry-on option.
