TAKE THESE WITH YOU
We present a curated list of travel aids to help make sure your next trip runs smoothly. By Emma Yardley
Fill: Fun multi-functional flasks Insulated Travel Bottles Stainless-steel containers By: Hydro Flask Price: $29.95-$77.95
Available at: MEC and altitude-sports.com Want to keep your coffee supply piping hot en route to Whistler? There’s a Hydro Flask for that. Want to fill up on your favourite craft beer before camping at Sandbanks Provincial Park? There’s a Hydro Flask for that, too. Available in powder-coated colours and ranging in sizes, each flask is double-wall vacuum insulated and has a lifetime guarantee.
Pack: Potent products to-go Gym & Travel Deluxe Set Natural skin care kit By: Consonant Skincare Price: $149
Available at: consonant.com The kind people over at Consonant (they are Canadian, after all) have pulled together an everything-in-one skin care travel kit that goes way beyond basics. From head to toe, the collection of 100-per-cent natural products — which includes a non-greasy 30 SPF sunscreen, an organic hand cream and a foaming face wash — has your on-the-move toiletry needs covered (and contained in a handy pouch). Capture: Shoot like a pro Lumix G85 Field shooting camera By: Panasonic Price: $1,199.99 (body only)
Available at: panasonic.ca One of the features that makes this SLR-style camera so perfect for the adventure traveller is its compact size. Thanks to Lumix’s mirrorless technology, it only weighs 505 grams and is designed to sit perfectly in the palm of your hand. Splash proof and dust proof, this 16 MP camera is ready to take on even the most extreme environments to get that perfect picture.
Wear: Walking on a cloud Can-2 Slipper Socks Non-slip lounge socks By: Pudus Brand
Price: $24.99 Available
at: ilovemypudus.com and 13 Canadian airports There’s a reason the packaging of a pair of Pudus slipper socks encourages shoppers to “Try me out!” — the extra fuzzy, “animal friendly” faux-fur lining of the slipper socks is so soft they’re impossible to resist (much like the pudu, the tiny South American deer the Richmond, B.C.-based company uses as its mascot). Pudus are the perfect inflight socks or hotel room slippers.
