The Simify 2025 Travel Tech Edit: What Our Team Actually Packs

The Simify 2025 Travel Tech Edit: What Our Team Actually Packs

We asked the Simify crew (aka the people who live in airports and never travel without a tech pouch) to spill their top travel gear picks for 2025. After much debate, a few over-packed backpacks, and one very passionate rant about cable management, we’ve narrowed it down.

There's helpful detail in 5 Travel Apps That Are ESSENTIAL For Overseas Travel worth grabbing now.

This is the ultimate travel tech list—no fluff, just the gadgets and gear that make travel smoother, lighter, and a whole lot less stressful.

01. Universal Travel Adapter

Stay powered up in over 200 countries.

"This is the one adapter I always pack. It works everywhere and saves me from the 'wrong plug' panic at check-in." – Dom

Worth a quick detour: 8 Travel Apps That Are ESSENTIAL For Overseas Travel.

Imagine landing in Tokyo, Rome, or Buenos Aires… only to realise your charger doesn’t fit the wall. Nightmare.

The EPICKA Pulse 45W Universal Travel Adapter is the one we actually use and recommend because it goes beyond just "fitting in."

Good to read in tandem: Countries Australians Can Travel To.

• Covers over 200 countries

• Fast-charging USB-C port

• Charge up to 6 devices at once

Buy it once—then never worry about what wall plug you're waking up to again.

02. Tech Pouch

Keep your gadgets and cables neatly organised.

Water-resistant and padded for protection, especially handy for those of us who treat bags like rugby balls.

• Stretch mesh pockets, zip compartments, elastic loops—every cable has a home

• Perfect for light packers and over-preparers

We love the EPICKA Electronics Organiser.

03. Magnetic Charging Cable

Versatile, tangle-free solutions for all your devices.

"The MagTame cable is the most satisfying piece of tech in my bag. It literally coils itself." – One very organised Simify staffer who won't be named :)

Looking for the practical steps? 5 Effective Ways To Get Over Jet Lag has them.

Cables are usually the least exciting part of your setup—but also the most likely to cause a rage untangle moment at the bottom of your bag.

A logical companion to the above is Adulting? Not at My Easter Egg Hunt.

That’s why we’re into the MagTame Automatic Coiling Cable. Its magnetic self-coiling design snaps itself neatly together so you don’t have to wrestle with a cord in front of strangers.

• Self-coiling = no tangles

• Satisfying to use

• Stays neat on desks, trays, and in your bag

04. City Pack Pro 2 – Backpack

Your carry-on MVP.

"It looks smart enough for a meeting but carries like a travel pro."

The Aer City Pack Pro 2 is sleek, comfy, and built for real-life travel. It fits everything—laptop, charger, books, snacks—without bulking you up.

Handy alongside this: Affordable Overwater Bungalows for Your Dream Vacation.

• Smart internal layout
• Weather-resistant
• Opens flat for easy packing

Urban-ready, airport-proof. You’ll use it more than you think.

05. AirTag

Never lose track of your stuff again.

“Boring? Maybe. A lifesaver? Absolutely.” That's from me.

We get it—an AirTag isn’t flashy. It doesn’t light up, fold, coil, or charge your phone. But here’s the thing: it just works. And when your suitcase doesn’t show up on the baggage carousel, or your backpack somehow ends up in a taxi three suburbs away… that little disc suddenly becomes your favourite travel tech.

• Tracks your bag in real time with the Find My app

• Fits in your luggage, wallet, or even clipped to your tech pouch

• Gives you peace of mind you didn’t know you needed

Grab one, pop it in your gear, and go.

🚀 Bonus Tip

Keep your must-have tech in your carry-on.

"Checked luggage goes missing. Your charging cable should not." – Simify PSA

Lost luggage happens. And when it does, the last thing you want is your power bank, adapter, or AirTag buried in the Bermuda Triangle of airport baggage.

When you've finished here, Turn Your Stopover into a Mini-Holiday is a good next click.

Keep your most-used tech (chargers, eSIM info, headphones, backup cable, even your Fire Stick) in your carry-on or day pack.
