Here are 10 reasons why you should have this toiletry bag in your suitcase.
Surprise in sustainable packaging!
The first thing I noticed about this bag is that our Gravel dopp kit is protected from scratches during shipping by a 100% biodegradable cassava cornstarch fiber bag.
This is a very pleasant surprise!
We review many travel products and Gravel is one of the few by offering sustainable packaging.

We are happy to test this bag extensively. And now we are ready to share our practical experience with you.
Stowaway Adjustable Straps: Hang Anywhere
One of the Explorer Plus’ standout features is its stowable, adjustable strap with aluminum G-hooks. Keep it neatly hidden in the zippered compartment until you need it.
