Travel Gear to be Safe but Also Comfortable

By Debra Loew

As we are all looking forward to start travelling again, we are also mindful that we still need to be hyper vigilant about taking the necessary steps to be safe but also comfortable as COVID-19 is still with us. Here are some new products to help you do just that.

PERSONAL PROTECTION MIST

Before and after visiting public places, you can use the Elina Organics Personal Protection Mist on yourself, your belongings, and surfaces you are going to touch. This sanitizing and purifying mist is created from food-grade ingredients to protect you from pathogens that you could get on your hair, clothes, shoes, or even accessories. The powerful combination of organic grain alcohol, colloidal copper, and silver is reported to destroy pathogens. Frankincense essential oil is also a great antiseptic with a blissful aroma.

SEAT PROTECTORS

As the seats and headrests on public transportation or even entertainment venues are among the places where germs can linger for days, many travellers are looking for seat protectors that are easy to use. Assuage makes two types of seat protectors, including a reusable one and a single-use one. The Ultra Cozy, a reusable seat protector, is easy to take care of and can be machine-washed. It’s made from soft, breathable fleece, and is very comfortable. It rolls up nice and neat to be conveniently toted around in the reusable carry bag that comes with it. The reusable bag also keeps it clean when not in use. The seat protectors have been designed to fit most seats and takes just seconds to put over it. The elastic around the edges helps hold the seat protector in place, so that it won’t slide around or fall like a blanket or towel would.

REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE

Many reusable water bottles expose the drinking spout, and some even require you to touch it to operate. Similar to a facial covering, a covered drinking spout protects against germs. The Nomader ® Collapsible Water Bottle is specially equipped with a hygienic leakproof screw-cap cover which lifts up to provide drinking access, and securely closes over the spout in between use. Lightweight with a 650 mL capacity, this innovative water bottle rolls up to save space, includes a durable carry strap, handles hot and cold drinks, and comes with a lifetime warranty.

PHONE SANITIZER

Even if you clean your hands regularly and try to avoid touching things when out in public, your phone is still a bacteria hotspot. Think of all the places you’ve put it down! Keep it germ-free on the go with PhoneSoap’s travel phone sanitizer that cleans and sanitizes your phone while it charges.
