Hand-Picked: Our Readers’ Favorite Travel Must-Haves From June

Whether you're going for a day hike or a week-long trek, having the right travel gear can really elevate your travel experience. Our team of travel experts has sorted through reader recommendations for the best travel gear, and here's what we've hand-picked:

1. K KNODEL Sturdy Car Trunk Organizer

Trunk organizers are a game-changer, whether you're on a cross-country trip or just running errands around town. We're fans of the K Knodel Car Trunk Organizer because it's collapsible, has an insulated cooler compartment, and fits both cars and SUVs.

2. Brentwood Dual Voltage Collapsible Travel Kettle

If your day doesn't truly start until you've had a cup of joe, a travel kettle is your best friend. The Brentwood Collapsible Travel Kettle is a great option that packs down super small to save space.

3. Ozark Trail 8-Person Glamping Bell Tent with String Lights

When we first saw the Ozark Trail Glamping Tent, we thought it would totally be out of our price range, but this massive, 8-person safari-style tent is surprisingly affordable! It even comes with built-in string lights for extra ambiance. We might just keep this one set up in our backyard this summer as a swanky little hangout space!

4. Olukai Ohana Sandals

We absolutely love Olukai shoes. One of our editors shares, "It started with just one pair of sandals, but my Olukais seem to be multiplying. I have a waterproof pair for beach days, a cute leather pair for wearing around town, and my Olukai sneakers are some of the comfiest shoes I own. Olukais have incredibly supportive footbeds, so you can wear them all day, even if you're doing a lot of walking." The Olukai Ohana Sandals are classics!

5. Debra Weitzner Women's Floppy Sun Hat with Wide Brim

If you're heading out on a sunny day but want to add a little extra style, nothing beats a classic Wide Brim Floppy Sun Hat, but they can be difficult to pack into your luggage if they aren't pliable. This one can be rolled up easily without getting misshapen.

6. VONMAY Unisex Slides Sandals

We'll admit that we giggled a little bit at just how puffy the Vonmay Slides look, but once we tried them on, we weren't laughing anymore—these guys are seriously comfortable! They're super lightweight, easy to clean, and come in several fun colors!

7. Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 7+

Photobugs will love the Instax Mini! This one even comes with a bonus pack of film so you can start snapping as soon as it arrives.

One of our travel editors has this to say: "I've always snapped most of my photos on my phone, but there's something so fun about capturing moments on film. My favorite thing to do is to leave my Instax camera out on the table during a party and invite my friends and family to snap photos throughout the night. It's a great way to capture silly moments and so fun to look through them the next day!"

8. AirTag Carrier for Your Wallet

If you use AirTags to keep track of your valuables, you know that finding a way to stash one in your wallet without it becoming super lumpy can be a challenge. That's why we love these AirTag Wallet Cases! They're ultra-thin and credit card-sized, so keep the tag secure without adding extra bulk.

9. Wear Your Roots Clothing

We love where we live, and we know you do too! Wear Your Roots Clothing has some great summer styles to show off your state pride on your sleeve… literally!
