Here at Travall HQ we’re starting to get pretty excited. You’ll already know that we’re a group of people that love getting active in the outdoors. The prospect of lockdown restrictions being relaxed further is filling us with optimism that we can do a lot more of the activities that we really love. Many of our team members are seriously planning ahead to the summer and the staycation adventures. So, we asked them what are the vacation essentials that are on their must-buy lists. Here’s what they came back with:
Wetsuit
We have many fans of wild swimming on the team. Quite a few of our team members have not been able to indulge in this hobby so much of late, but have indulged in plenty of lockdown treats. As a result, the all-important wetsuits are a lot more of a snug fit than they should be for comfort. So, top of the list for quite a few team members is an appropriately sized wetsuit, so that they can get back to the lake swimming or surfing that they’ve been longing to do.
Cooler
One of our favorite things to do on vacation is to picnic. This year, some of our team are upgrading their picnic baskets, to more substantial coolers. No more warm drinks and food at the beach, but refreshing chilled beverages and sandwich meats kept deli fresh.
Sunscreen
Who knows what the weather’s got in store for us this summer. Whether there’s a heatwave or a light drizzle, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun when you’re outdoors. There are some great sunscreen formulations that you can apply in the morning that will last the whole day. No distractions from your cycle ride or your day’s hiking.
Rain gear
It may be summer weather, but rain is often on the cards in some parts of the nation (we’re thinking of you Washington and Oregon, among others). None of the Travall team are going to let a little (or a lot of) rain get in the way of a good time. That’s why for many, an upgrade in their rain gear is on their list – after all, there’s no such thing as bad weather when you’ve got the right gear.
Trunk organizer
Last, but by no means least, we want to be able to haul everything with us securely. This means investing in a great trunk organization system such as the Travall Guard and Divider combination. Fido is kept in position on one side, while all the rest of the gear sits neatly on the other side of the trunk. Happy vacation essentials, happy journeys, happy times ahead!
