However, while we know that you can hardly wait to sprint outside - especially after being stuck at home for months - there’s one thing you should never forget.

SUN PROTECTION.

Outdoor fun is never quite the same withoutsun hats,visors, and caps alongside wearing sunscreen. Pack them first! These are some of the most important items to take with you to put your mind at ease.
