In many locations around the world, summer is the best time of year for outdoor activities such as wildlife spotting, hiking, bird-watching, forest bathing, and discovering rare and unique plant life. Simultaneously the hottest time of year in many locations, here are some essential travel accessories that will help you beat the heat and enhance your summer trips.
1. Cooling Sun Hat
Keep yourself cool and protected from the sun during long summer hikes with this unisex sun hat from Einskey. Made with a sweat-wicking waterproof polyester material, the hat also includes a breathable mesh panel on either side which further limits sweat from gathering on your head. The wide 3.9-inch brim is highly effective at keeping the face completely protected from the sun and the hat even includes a built-in sweatband around the brim. It’s designed to be easily foldable so that it doesn’t take up too much room in your suitcase or beach bag. It’s also adjustable with an elastic drawstring and additional chinstrap so it will stay firmly fastened to your head even in the windiest locations. With more than 21,700 five-star ratings at Amazon, the EINSKEY Sun Hat is also 50% off, as of May 8.
2. Windproof Travel Umbrella
While many locations typically have less rain in the summer than in spring, others get quite a bit of rain during the summer months. Selected as the top umbrella for wind and rain by NY Times reviewers. It has a durable nine-rib design that’s, “as sturdy as umbrellas that sell for more than twice as much.” The Repel Umbrella folds up to an 11½-inch long, 14-ounce package and, at the touch of a button, it expands to a 37-inch-diameter canopy which will easily keep your head and torso protected from the rain.
