What to Buy for the Dad Who Loves to Travel
Father's Day is around the corner. If your dad is among men who like to travel rather than receive gifts, you can make a meaningful yet practical choice. Don't go for another necktie that will hang in the closet; rather, consider these travel essentials that your adventure-loving dad will take with him on his trips around the world. The recommendations in this article are practical and helpful and are sure to enhance any trip you take.
For the Organized Explorer: SmartPack PLUS+ 2.0
This backpack would be a suitable Father's Day gift for its design, which is made to ease all travel problems. The dedicated laptop compartment keeps electronics safe, while the separately organized compartments for clothes and other accessories don't allow the chaos that usually occurs after a few days on the road. Dads who often complain about messy bags or having trouble finding stuff in conventional backpacks will find this storage helpful system.
Experts who know a thing or two about travelling recommend backpacks with hidden security pockets, and this one fits the bill with discreet compartments that tuck valuables away in even the busiest of spaces. Suitable for everything from hiking the mountain trails to navigating the busy terminals at international airports, this pack adapts to your dad's environment while keeping essentials safe and accessible.
For Daily Adventures: Slinger Cross-Body Bag
This cross-body option solves one of travel's most significant problems and makes for a great Father's Day gift: carrying daily essentials without using that bulky backpack. The ergonomic design helps distribute weight over the shoulder rather than straining the shoulders. The dads who suffer from back pain but want to carry the camera, water bottle, and travel documents for extended exploring can surely use this.
Most pickpockets target children and young adults. But fathers are not immune to becoming a pickpocket target along with their children. The Slinger's design positions valuables against the body with anti-thief features for peace of mind in tourist-heavy places.
For Financial Organization: Trigger PLUS+ Wallet
This wallet stands out from typical Father's Day gifts due to its nice materials and useful travel features. The carbon fiber structure can handle the wear and tear of constant usage while keeping the business traveler’s look. Built-in RFID protection that prevents credit card and passport scanning, a growing issue in popular tourist locations around the world, is perfect for dads who enjoy technical innovations.
According to travel security experts, the most concerning statistic is that nearly 7 out of 10 travel related thefts happen because wallets are not secured properly. Travelling fathers won't have to worry about losing their valuables, thanks to Trigger's front-pocket compatible design and secure closure system, which directly addresses this vulnerability.
For Personal Care Simplicity: iTravel MINI
A hands-free way to travel. This slim passport jacket comes with a mini pen to fill out customs forms so you're not stuck, an AirTag holder on the front so you never lose it, a pull-tab for your passport for quick and swift pre-boarding, and the best part is that it's wearable via a detachable necklace making airports a breeze.
Choosing the Right Travel Gift.
No matter which gift you choose, one thing is for sure: your dad loves to travel. He won't simply pack away your gifts in a forgotten drawer; instead, they will accompany him on life-changing travel experiences that will remind him of you.
