While I was putting together my packing list, I realized that I didn’t have a travel adapter for Vietnam. I needed to buy to buy a good universal travel adapter anyway, so why not use my trip to Vietnam as an excuse.

During my research on Amazon and EBay I initially found two reputable travel adapters:

1. World Travel Adapter 1
   
2. SKROSS World Travel Adapter 3

World Travel Adapter 1

World Travel Adapter 1

SKROSS World Travel Adapter 3

Then I came across a “Euro Adapter” from an unknown producer on Amazon. The specs looked pretty good and were at least on par with the other two adapters. But here comes the kicker and the reasons why I then purchased this travel adapter:

It can be used in more than 180 countries, weights only 45 gramms, measures an astonishing 95 x 44 x 15 mm and is rated up to 1300 Watts, which is more than the Swiss Travel Adapters can claim for themselves. Unfortunately you can only purchase the Euro Adapter at Amazon.de

Now, don’t get me wrong here. The two Swiss Travel Adapters mentioned before are most certainly very good products and will do what they are designed to do, but when it comes down to cutting down your backpack weight, every ounce counts and I don’t like bulky accessories. But if you do decide to purchase either the World Travel Adapter 1 (Amazon.de) the SKROSS World Travel Adapter 3 (Amazon.com or Amazon.de), they can both be purchased through Amazon – I’ve linked the items for you in the brackets.

Have you had any experiences with travel adapters or have a different opinion? Let’s hear about it in the comments. And don’t forget to bookmark this article if you enjoyed the read!
