Frequent fliers, take note. A clever NoiseGuard mode monitors ambient sounds and produces white noise to block out high frequencies, giving the user virtual silence. Although the AA battery compartment on the cable is a pain, we have very few complaints. Similar models to the PXC 250-II (HK$1,499) cost - and weigh - twice as much.
Nowhere is technology and travel more important than in clothing, and this quick-drying and versatile Icebreaker hoodie (HK$1,735) takes first prize. Made from 260 grams of merino wool from New Zealand, the land of four seasons in one day, it's all you need from morning to night. Best of all, it rolls up into a compact bundle.
