Avid travelers know: When it comes to summer travel, packing light is key. One way to whittle down your suitcase and lighten your carry-on is to pack items that can do the job of two or more.
Summertime means warmer weather and more time spent outdoors. Between sunny beach days and outdoor concert nights, a blanket can come in handy. Opt for something versatile and light, like a Hoa Kai towel. Each surf-inspired blanket can be used as ground cover, a sarong on the beach, scarf on the plane or light cover-up for changing weather. With a variety of fun colors and basic prints ranging $33–65, there is a design for all styles and budgets.
Cut down on the tech and bring one charger to support multiple devices with the ChargeHub USB Super Charger. Available in a variety of colors, $40–60, the various charger levels can support three–seven devices at once. This way you won’t fight over the outlet and can carry on fewer plugs for the whole crew.
Going somewhere tropical? You will need bug spray and suntan lotion, or this shirt — as the ExOfficio clothing line is bug-repellent. Available in men’s and women’s shirts and pants, the Bugsaway apparel reduces bug bites and keeps pests at bay with a built-in insect repellent, permethrin. The lightweight shirts can also be used as additional sun protection with 30-plus SPF built in. Available on Amazon, ExOfficio’s tech apparel tightly rolls up to fit in even the smallest travel bag.
