Chrome's recently launched Treadwell Travel Collection combines tough functionality with the low-key, clean aesthetics we've come to expect from the Portland-based brand. The collection includes 10 duffels, backpacks, and organizers, all made from 1680 denier ballistic nylon with black leather trim, designed for urban travel. Here are a few of our favorite products.
The Surveyor is a bomber duffel that you won't have to worry about checking at an airport or tossing into the back of a cab. It features a 44-liter main compartment as well as two outer organization pockets and a separate space for shoes. A smart strap configuration allows the bag to be worn over the shoulder or like a backpack.

Travel-oriented backpacks have become ubiquitous but the Hightower nails the perfect blend of form and function. The top-loader has four interior organizational pockets, a heavily padded laptop sleeve, and a soft-lined phone pocket. We appreciate the extra handles on the side and top which make it easy to grab and carry briefcase style.

Dopp kits may be one of the most underappreciated travel accessories but keeping your toiletries, or charging cords and spare batteries, organized is the sign of a seasoned traveler. The Kilo is made from the same ballistic nylon as the rest of the Treadwell collection and can be hung on a tree branch or towel rack via a small webbing strap that snaps closed.

The Vega mimics the Transit's design but has a slightly smaller size and more versatile carry options. It features an extra-padded laptop sleeve, a top-mounted handle like a standard brief bag, a removable cross-body shoulder strap, and hide-away backpack shoulder straps. A rear pass-thru slot lets it slip over roller bag handles making it an easy carry-on option.
