What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, the Yeti Hopper Flip 12 Cooler. This cooler will serve the soft adventurer, amateur boater or beach-goer well this summer. Leakproof and compact, the soft-sided Hopper Flip 12's anti-microbial interior and exterior shells are waterproof and puncture- abrasion- and mildew-resistant. Marketed as a personal-use product, it nevertheless can handle 12 cans of your favorite beverage and 15 pounds of ice (when storing ice only).

With beach season rapidly approaching, kids will get a laugh out of receiving a pair of these delightfully colorful underwater goggles. Able to be customized with a child's name (or a company logo), Giggly Goggles come in 11 whimsical designs, with patterns that range from Royal Princess to Blue Hero. Constructed with a Neoprene exterior and textured rubber interior, the goggles are fitted with fog-free, UV protective lenses, have a pony-tail portal in the back and come in two head sizes: munchkin and junior.

The MinxNY Beach Towel's major claim to fame is the fact that, thanks to its polyester microfibre fabric, it is extremely absorbent -- MinxNY maintains it absorbs almost five times its weight -- yet is fast drying as well. In addition, the beach towel, which has antibacterial properties that reduce the presence of germs and odors, easily folds up to a quarter of the size of a normal towel. Available in pink blue, yellow and green.

This lightweight, lockable and portable soft-sided safe is designed to thwart the most brazen bag snatchers you might encounter when out and about. Water-resistant, slash-resistant and padded to protect a laptop, the Pacsafe Travelsafe X15 can be secured by means of a patented locking system and attached to a fixed object for added protection. The Travelsafe, which can be used as an over-the-shoulder bag or tote, comes with carry handles and a detachable shoulder strap.

Another security-minded bag, the Loctote Industrial Bag Co.'s Flak Sack, which is lockable and can be attached to a fixed object, is also lightweight and large enough to tote a laptop. It boasts a slash-resistant material which its manufacturer, Honeywell, says is used in protective vests for law enforcement officers. Other features: a locking strap made with military-grade brass grommets integrated with a stainless steel cable; a brass lock; a fleece-lined pocket shielded by RFID-blocking material; and a removable, leather sternum clip.
