We tried YETI’s new travel backpack and it’s perfectly versatile

We tested the new YETI Ranchero backpack, here's why we loved it

Using the YETI Ranchero backpack used at a gym

YETI might be best known for its mugs, tumblers, and coolers, but they’ve also started releasing tons of backpacks, totes, and even luggage. Their latest release, the Ranchero, is designed more for daily use and weekend getaways instead of far-reaching adventures, but it’s made with lots of the same goodies that YETI packs are known for.

We were lucky enough to try out one of the Ranchero bags before its launch to see how it performs. From the gym to the park to afternoons by the pool, the Ranchero is a mostly flawless backpack that has all that heavyweight rugged durability you want in a YETI pack, but in a surprisingly lightweight, daily-use bag. Here’s everything we loved about the new YETI Ranchero backpack, and the one thing we feel could be improved.
The YETI Ranchero Backpack has all the bells and whistles you want from the brand
One of the things that makes the Ranchero backpack great is that it’s made with all the versatility and durability features you’d expect from YETI. For starters, the pack is made with YETI’s TuffSkin nylon, which is both water and abrasion-resistant, so the bag has the toughness and sturdiness you’d expect from YETI.

Sigma is shaking up the camera industry with the launch of the BF, a radically simplified 24-megapixel full-frame L-Mount camera designed for photographers who value a pure shooting experience.

With an intuitive, minimalist design, it eliminates unnecessary complexity, allowing users to focus on framing, composition, and capturing the moment.

Despite its simplicity, the BF is packed with high-performance features. It boasts a hybrid autofocus system with phase and contrast detection for precise subject tracking, 6K video recording with L-Log support, and 13 unique color modes for creative flexibility. The 230GB internal storage eliminates the hassle of memory cards, while USB-C connectivity ensures fast file transfers and charging. According to Sigma, the BF's storage capacity can accommodate over 14,000 JPEGs, 4,300 uncompressed RAW files, or 2.5 hours of video.

I tested the Vasco Translator V4: Here’s my take on the luxury travel device

Should you buy the device before your next international trip?

Vasco Translator V4 being used by Raul Mercado in Mexico

It takes between 600 and 2,200 hours to learn a foreign language. And while I wish I had time to study the vast rainbow of languages I've encountered in my travels, it's sadly impossible. Thankfully, the Vasco Translator V4 helps minimize things getting lost in translation with the click of a button. The two-way device works with over 112 languages spoken in 200 countries and has a handful of features and benefits that expand its value beyond Google Translate.
I've just returned from a three-week journey through Mexico. I can confidently say that the small but mighty device helped ensure I didn't miss a bus or order the wrong dish and generally empowered me to explore beyond my comfort zone, both in terms of geography and connecting with the vibrant local scene.
So, let's jump into my review so you know all of the features of this premium device and if it's worth adding to your list of travel essentials.
