It’s that glorious time of year when travelers everywhere shake off the vestiges of winter and set off on road trips. Whether called to the seashore, mountain peaks or desert vistas, be sure to pack the following:
First up, a great chair. The SUNFLOW Chair provides a comfy place to sit in any terrain. Weighing in at 9.4 pounds (with a maximum 250-pound limit for an occupant) and reclining to four separate positions, this chair, crafted from Greenguard Gold Certified Water Resistant Marine Fabrics, is easy to carry and fold and includes detachable backpack straps. The chair’s aluminum frame is also rust-resistant, making it ideal for relaxing beachside. It’s available in a great selection of colors and patterns, with optional accessories including a sun shade, Contour Pillow, drink and sunglasses holders, dry bag and complimentary towel.
Great escapes also mean making things easy on yourself, but doing it with style. Chic, roomy and fitted with handy straps perfect for transporting your favorite sunhat, the Suncatcher Carryall Tote Set from Sidney Byron is made from natural jute and features a generously sized interior zippered pocket and matching zippered pouch. Color choices are herringbone, navy and white, yellow and white, and natural. Cool touches include a drawstring closure, a trolley sleeve to slip over your suitcase handle and a velvet or terrycloth interior (depending upon style).
Next, let’s talk about a true road trip essential: snacks. Created by East Coast surfer and health enthusiast Hunter Schaeffer, Fringe Bars keeps you content between campfire and restaurant stops. Available in Chocolate Almond Butter, Mango Hemp and Coconut Cashew, these chewy, nutrient-dense snack bars are naturally high in protein and have been created with apoptogenic mushrooms for maximum functional health benefits. Sweetened only with dates with zero grams of added sugar, each scrumptious gluten-free, plant-based bar includes superfoods such as raw cacao and hemp. The company partners with 1% For the Planet and donates to environmental non-profits and organizations including Save the Waves Coalition.
Booked a remote, rustic mountain cabin for the night? Don’t worry about trying to figure out the retro cookstove. Prepare your meal in HOTLOGIC, a handy portable food warmer. No buttons, no dials. The secret is low-slow conduction technology that cooks food evenly — sort of like a crockpot — and keeps it at the ideal safe temperature for hours. Place your fresh or frozen meal in the included tray or appropriate container, close the warmer (which looks like a small beverage cooler) and plug it into a wall socket; or use an inverter in the cigarette lighter of your vehicle. Models are available that include a car plug.
En route to your destination, sip your favorite hot or cold beverage in the Cribsi Elemental 10- Ounce Insulated Wine Tumbler. Once you’ve arrived, refill it with the wine you found at that adorable little shop near the beach. With a non-slip base, double-wall insulation with copper lining and a textured grip, it may well become your favorite on-the-go mug. Made from food- grade materials and completely BPA-free, it can keep contents hot for up to three hours and cold for up to nine hours. Available in black, white, robin’s egg and rose.
Especially when heading to dry desert and mountain climates, maintaining skin’s moisture is a priority. Bring along Oxygenetix lightweight Oxygenating Hydro-Matrix moisturizing cream. Perfect for all skin types, it promotes collagen growth, reduces healing time and delivers replenishing hydration that lasts from sun-up to moonrise over your vacation destination’s glittering lake, desertscape or mountain peak. Made with an antibacterial and comforting aloe vera base, it’s certified cruelty-free and vegan, as well as happily devoid of parabens, fragrances and oils.
Another great choice is cruelty-free Organic Age-Defying Dream Cream from Purity Woods, a 100-percent natural, USDA Certified Organic skincare cream containing collagen-boosting Vitamin C and red maple leaf extracts. Other organic ingredients include German chamomile, astaxanthin, sunflower seed oil, mango seed butter, camu camu fruit extract, Indian gooseberry extract and aloe vera leaf juice.
Ready to hit the road? Before you pull out of your driveway, toss the RiftBall Dual Net Paddle Ball game from B3 Gaming into the trunk of your car for easy set-up at your campsite, festival space or for impromptu breaks along the way to wherever your destination may be. Here are the rules of engagement: One player stands on each side about 4 feet from the net, with the first serve underhand and below the waist. Then just keep the ball in play. Points are earned when a player is unable to return the play; one player must defeat the other by at least two points. The RiftBall kit comes with two game nets and poles, two paddles, two game balls and a nylon carry bag.
