What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, the Real Deal Tarp Hat. Hand-crafted in Brazil from recycled cargo-truck tarp and truck tires, this hat has hit the road for more miles than Willie Nelson and now you can take it even farther. Patches, marks, frays and even bits of Portuguese writing make each one unique. It is sized from S (6 3/4 inches) to XXL (8). An optional leather wind strap is available.

This lightweight fedora for men from the Boulder, Colo., hat vendor is just the thing when you have travel in mind in that it pops back into shape after being folded into a suitcase or carryon. The Wallaroo Palmer Hat, which has a 3.5-inch brim, a black ribbon trim and an internal draw string for an adjustable fit, is available in two sizes, M/L (7 3/8 inches) and L/XL (7 5/8), and two colors, natural as well as a mix of natural and black.

If you are all about travel photography, selfies and social media sites the Insta360 Nano Camera will fit nicely in your camera bag. Small and lightweight, it is capable of producing 360-degree images, videos and live-streams directly from your smart phone. The camera, which is compatible with iPhones from 6 to 7 Plus or can be used alone, offers 3040 by 1520 resolution, a fisheye lens and a generous 64G of storage capability. As a bonus of sorts, the Insta360's packaging can be converted into a Google Cardboard virtual reality viewer.

Designed to meet the physical, aesthetic, safety and practical needs of children, Bixbee Kids Backpacks boast an ergonomically sound horizontal construct that allows weight to be carried comfortably above waist level to lighten loads and enables easy access to and protection for supplies. Adjustable shoulder straps and a sliding sternum strap distribute weight over the wearer's shoulders while a mesh back panel helps ease pressure points. Other features include an ID card holder, water-bottle pockets and reflective accents for added visibility.

The multifaceted Tropiformer Jacket from Scottevest boasts 22 pockets, including those dedicated to carrying eyeglasses (two), a digital camera, a digital notebook (with built-in USB/Bluetooth capability), hand warmers (2) and change (2). Machine-washable, water-resistant and light weight, the jacket quickly becomes a vest with the detachment of its magnetically attached sleeves. This garment comes equipped with a unique wearable technology that enables you to wire headphones and power cables tangle-free through specially designed channels.

With 29 pockets, the OTG Jacket (for ''off the grid,'' according to Scottevest) approximates a wearable carryon, which can be a roomy boon to travelers miffed at having to pay extra for bringing a small bag on a plane. Attributes include front panels capacious enough to store a full-size laptop or books and magazines without showing a bulge, an RFID-blocking pocket and a pocket for a tablet. The quilted OTG, like the Tropiformer is machine washable, water/stain resistant, and covered by Scottevest's $1,000 anti-pickpocket guarantee.
