Packing for Summer Travel

Packing for Summer Travel

Whether your summer plans include an epic road trip, beach vacation, or global adventure, packing the right essentials makes all the difference. And packing can be a science. Pack too much, and you’re stuck with a heavy bag and extra baggage fees. Pack too little, and you might find yourself running to the nearest shop the minute you arrive at your destination. The best way to avoid packing regrets? Plan ahead with a packing list based on your itinerary. 

As you make your list, don’t forget one of the most important essentials…a Wallaroo sun hat. It might seem like an extra accessory to carry, but it’s one of the most important tools in your summer travel kit. Here’s why: 

1.     Sun protection is the name of the game.

First and foremost, protecting yourself from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays should be a top priority as you pack for summer travel. Sunscreen is a must, but sun protective headwear is equally as important. Wallaroo hats are designed with UPF 50+ sun protection, blocking 97.5% of harmful UV rays. That means they’re the perfect accessory for all your summer travels. Rest assured - there’s a Wallaroo for whatever activities are on your itinerary.

Consider hats such as the Stevie or the Kristy Fedora, that combine fashion-forward designs with maximum sun safety, ensuring you won’t compromise on style while staying protected.

2.     Don’t forget your ears, eyes, face, and neck.

Thanks to their wide-brimmed designs, Wallaroo hats don’t just protect your head - they also shield your eyes, face, and neck from harmful rays, making them an essential companion for any outdoor adventure. As a result, you feel cooler, and your eyes will be shielded from the sun. Let’s also not forget that protecting your face helps prevent premature aging and sunspots.

Top selling wide-brimmed hats such as the Marseille or St. Lucia are perfect for beach adventures, while the Carkella Fairway Fedora is just right for a round of golf or city tour.

3.     A great hat prepares you for anything that comes your way.

Part of the beauty (and mystery) of travel is that anything can happen. With a packable Wallaroo in your bag, you know you’ve got instant sun protection or a quick shield from an unexpected rain shower. Plus, you’re ready for almost any activity that comes your way. And don’t forget that a hat is a great cover for wind-blown or beach hair, offering an instant boost to a look polished even after a day of activity.

When you carry a Carkella Del Mar Trilby, you’ll be ready for a city stroll, museum tour, or beach walk, while the Victoria adds a spark of color and sun protection to your travel adventures.

4.     A Wallaroo hat elevates any outfit.

It’s often difficult to pack just the right clothing for a trip. How many times have you traveled and discovered your wardrobe is a bit too casual for your itinerary? Or maybe you’ve worn the same outfit on repeat and want to give it a different look. A great travel–friendly hat can solve those packing dilemmas. Whether you’re sightseeing or wine tasting, the right hat can pull a look together effortlessly and elevate even the most basic outfit.

Just imagine pairing the Montecito, Charlie, or the Turner with your favorite travel outfit ~ instant style!

5.     A hat looks great in photos and on social media

Part of the fun of travel is taking great pics so you can remember the trip long after you’re home. And of course, you want those photos - especially the ones for social media - to look great and stand out. A stylish hat from Wallaroo turns heads - online and IRL - making you look like a savvy traveler who values sun protection and style, wherever you go. No matter your personal style or travel agenda, the wide variety of Wallaroo hats, made for women and men, means there’s a perfect hat for every adventure.

For a look your followers won’t forget, try the Catalina Cowboy or a colorful Sydney

With these points in mind, pack thoughtfully, travel safely, and don’t forget your Wallaroo! 

And remember…

It’s a sunny life. Wear your hat.
