humangear GoToob+ 3-Pack vs Nalgene Travel Kit with Bag
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Travel Toiletry Bottles: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The GoToob+ wins because humangear publishes everything a buyer needs: capacities, weights, materials, a locking cap, dishwasher instructions and a plain list of contents to avoid. The Nalgene kit is the one to take if you want six rigid containers and a bag for less money and can live without a published materials list.
humangear GoToob+ 3-Pack
Buy itSilicone squeeze tubes with a locking cap, sold in three sizes that top out exactly at the 3.4 fl oz carry-on limit.
- humangear states single-tube capacities of 1.7 fl oz (Small), 2.5 fl oz (Medium) and 3.4 fl oz (Large), so every size sits at or under the TSA limit.
- The LoopLock locks the flip cap closed, and humangear describes the tube as contoured so it can stand for filling.
- Tubes and collars are stated as dishwasher safe on the top rack, and the material is listed as BPA-free, phthalate-free, FDA food-safe silicone.
- humangear recommends against salicylic acid products, hair serums and shine treatments including argan oil products, sterile fluids such as contact lens solution, and caustic or flammable products.
- Alcohol-based products, sunscreens, liquid sweeteners and skin conditioning oils are on a test-overnight-first list, and humangear says alcohol slowly evaporates through the silicone.
- The flip caps are hand-wash only.
Nalgene Travel Kit with Bag
Buy itSix rigid containers and a bag in one inexpensive kit, with every bottle well under the carry-on limit.
- Nalgene lists four 2 oz square bottles, one 1 oz jar and one 1 oz vial, so the kit covers liquids, thick creams and small dry items.
- Nalgene describes the bottles as leakproof and gives them color-coded caps for telling contents apart.
- The product page states the kit is safe to put in the dishwasher, with a listed kit weight of 3.52 oz (99.75 g).
- The product page does not publish the plastics used, a BPA statement or a list of contents to avoid.
- Capacities are given in ounces only, with no milliliter figures on the page.
- Rigid bottles do not shrink as they empty and are harder to get the last of a thick product out of than a squeeze tube.
