Detailed Info
Explorer PLUS Detailed Features Electric Razor/Taller Items Pocket - A mesh pocket with a curved zipper for easy access. It easily fits electric razors, hair combs and taller items! This pocket is large to add versatility so you can pack this as you’d like...it’s cozy in here. Ladies, if you are blessed to not have a beard and don’t have an electric razor then you can easily fit mascara, tampons, and other stuff. (10” Length x 4.5” Wide)
Water Resistant Toothbrush & Toothpaste Pocket - This pocket is solely for your toothbrush to keep your toothbrush from gathering debris & from rubbing up against anything but your pearly whites. Easily fits an electric toothbrush and travel sized toothpaste OR a full sized toothpaste & regular toothbrush. If you have an electric toothbrush and use lots of toothpaste there’s plenty of room for a full sized tube of toothpaste in other pockets. *Pro Tip! We’ve also found this pocket is VERY useful as a very convenient toothbrush holder while traveling. While hanging your open toiletry bag, leave this pocket partially open to let your toothbrush air dry and prevent it from falling on that gross hotel floor. (10” Length x 1.5” Wide)
Deep & Tall Pocket - A mesh pocket to fit your deodorant, comb, & all sorts of other essentials that might be longer. (10” Length x 3” Wide)
Two Deep Mesh Pockets - Pack these how you’d like! We were able to easily fit items like beard oil, q-tips, mustache wax, flossers, and finger nail clippers. (5” Length x 3” Wide)
DEEP Water Resistant Pocket - Store your liquids here to ensure that you don’t arrive to your destination with a shampoo explosion all over everything. Fit items like pomade, shampoo, 3 oz + travel liquid containers, cologne/perfume, etc...this pocket is SPACIOUS. (10” Length x 6” Wide)
TSA Removable & Water Resistant Pouch (included) - We included a premium clear, removable, & water resistant pouch for an added layer of protection from shampoo explosions. Quickly pull out the pouch and lay it next to your stuff for easy passage through airport security. Use the swivel hook attached to hang it up in the shower.
Secret Small Pocket - Well I guess this pocket isn’t a secret anymore is it? This pocket is inside & flush against the Electric Razor/Taller Items Pocket. It can store rings or other small items that you want to keep from sliding around in one of the bigger pockets. Condoms fit real great. (3” Length x 3.5” Wide)
Large Outer Pocket w/Soft Fleece Lining - This pocket spans the length of the back of the pack and has a soft fleece lining to protect valuables, a small first aid kit, or other travel items. Store your phone, watch, passport, cords, etc. (9” Length x 6” Wide)
Stowaway Adjustable Strap with Aluminum G-Hook - It’s just convenient to hang your toiletry bag. We built a special pocket on the back of the toiletry bag with a stowaway strap with what’s called a g-hook. The g-hook keeps a low profile and allows you to hook this bag onto anything. It’s stowaway pocket sits behind the large outer pocket to maximize storage space and stay hidden. Now your toiletry bag can hang anywhere or lay flat. (Strap is 16” Long. Pocket is 3.75” Tall x 6” Wide)

FAQs
Explorer PLUS FAQ What is the difference between the Explorer SLIM™ & Explorer PLUS™? The PLUS is for packing more, the SLIM is for packing light. Is the clear TSA compliant bag included? Yes
Is the clear TSA bag completely waterproof? No. The sides and bottom of the bag are welded shut but the top water resistant zipper won't stop leakage 100%. Although it will prevent shampoo explosions, this bag was made to go inside your Explorer PLUS™ for an added layer of protection. With both layers of protection you will be safe from shampoo explosions!
Lifetime Warranty, really? We've only selected premium materials so we're so confident in our products. We will replace any Layover™ that suffers from a manufacturing error. If something else happens, feel free to e-mail us at hello@graveltravel.com and we will review each repair on a case-by-case basis. How do I hang up the bag? There is an included, hidden hang strap on the back of the bag on the top you can use to hang up the bag anywhere!
Blue Layover FAQ Can you wash the Layover™? You sure can! The Layover™ is machine washable, and you can tumble dry it on low!
What height does the blanket work for? If you are over 6'3" - With the blanket snapped around your neck it will be a little tight to use the foot pocket at the same time. You can still use the blanket in every other way. At this time we are working on an option for taller people. Feel free to try it out, as we offer free returns if you aren't pumped.

Environmental Commitments
Long-lasting design We didn't cut any corners with material selection to ensure rips and tears are minimized plus stress points get extra attention. We also designed reinforcements in areas used most. Two examples:
1. Snaps are reinforced with extra material surrounding them to reduce rips
2. Attached stuff sacks can get stress on the connected parts when packing. We added a snap to the piece of material that connects the blanket to the stuff sack. When packing away if the material is getting too much stress, the snap will break loose vs cause threads to take the beating.
Reusability and recyclability With our Lifetime Warranty, we want to make sure that the blanket, as do all our products, gets years of use. Instead of just throwing away a blanket for a warranty claim we want to closely examine and attempt to repair.
In 2018 we also used only minimal packaging. One cardboard box was designed to serve as packaging and the shipping box (vs a box shipped in a box). We also do not use single use plastic in any packaging. We opted to use tissue paper to protect the product inside. We are now using cassava as a plastic alternative.
Sustainable materials The insulation for the Layover is made out of 100% recycled material (plastic bottles in fact). Certified free of harmful chemicals and are safe for human use. Organic certification means that textile and fabric products are grown according to strict guidelines on the use of petroleum based fertilizers, pesticides and synthetic products.
Environmentally friendly factories With some factories it is a new concept to reduce waste. We are always pushing them to be more conservative with waste. The standard for manufacturing usually uses so much plastic just to ship products from a factory to a warehouse. We take steps along the way to reduce all waste everywhere we can.
Sustainable fulfillment and distribution We're very close (as friends and physically) to our fulfillment center. Waste when fulfilling thousands of orders at once can get pretty ridiculous. Giant plastic bags are a standard & used to gather all the products together to take to the distribution center. We work with our warehouse and manufacturers to make sure waste is minimized (hopefully to zero!).
I’m a flight attendant and travel a LOT. First the toiletry bag: it feels sturdy, like I won’t have to replace it for awhile. Nice zippers, love how it hangs. It fits all of my stuff but I don’t take a lot of makeup. My biggest gripe about it is how it opens on the short edge instead of on the long edge. This makes it inconvenient for putting on a bathroom counter and for using the side zipper pockets, which are great except everything falls out of you keep them open and the main part of bag is open. It’s so inconvenient that I’m considering ditching it for my old mess of a bag. I’m also considering cutting it open and just carrying two halves and holding them together with a big rubber band. Otherwise it’s great, just awkward shaped being so dang long. The blanket is great! I’ve only used it once but I love the foot pockets and that it’s pretty small.

It was good
I bought the blanket and the toiletries bag plus. I really liked the toiletry bag expect it was not big enough to hold my hair brush so I just had to use a comb. I liked the blanket but the feet slots could be insulated as well.
Hi Arundhati!
Thanks for the feedback! If you want to check it out, we just launched our Explorer Max on Kickstarter that would have room for a hairbrush. :D

High quality and well designed
I haven’t used it yet, but I was just so impressed when I got the package in the mail. It was wrapped in bio-degradable wrapping (non single use plastic) and the materials are very high quality. The insulation for the blanket is made with recycled water bottles and the blanket really does stuff down into a tiny stuff sack. Thank you Gravel for trying to be environmentally conscious and for using high quality materials! I can tell these products (blanket and toiletry bag) will last me for a long time.
Hi Karen!
Thanks for reaching out! We do our best to take care of our planet. Thank you for being so kind! We are so excited to see where you and your gear will travel. :)

Just what I need for longer trips
Blanket's pockets are on spot. Plus small for easy carry.
The toiletry bag plus is just what I need for longer trips, I'm thinking on getting the small one for weekend trips.

That is awesome! So glad you are enjoying your gear! Many of our customers love having the Plus for week-long trips and the Slim for weekends or day trips like you mentioned! Please reach out if you have any questions!!
