Globetroves Gear Picks

Sailing Essentials

Hopefully you're out there in shorts and flip-flops — but weather can change fast, especially in places like San Francisco Bay. This gear comes in handy when the breeze picks up, the fog rolls in, or you're just trying to keep your stuff dry

🧥 Sailing Jacket
Wind-blocking and water-resistant — a reliable outer layer for changing conditions on the water.

💡 Rechargeable Headlamp
Hands-free light for early starts, late arrivals, or digging through the bilge after dark.

🧤 Sailing Gloves
Protect your hands from rope burn and get better grip at the winch — your fingers will thank you.

🥾 Deck Boots
Sturdy, slip-resistant, and waterproof — stay dry and upright when conditions get sloppy.

🎒 Dry Bag / Sea Bag
Tough, waterproof, and ready to be tossed around — keep clothes and gear safe from spray.

🦺 Coastal Inflatable PFD
Comfortable enough to wear all day, but ready when you need it. Don’t skip this one.

Trail-ing Essentials

From canyon switchbacks to forest overlooks, a good hike is even better with the right gear. These essentials help you stay comfortable, safe, and ready for whatever the trail throws your way — even if it’s just a killer view.

🥾 Hiking Boots
Think light and low-profile — perfect for dry trails, day hikes, or doubling as trail runners. Great support without the bulk.

🎒 Daypack
Big enough for snacks, layers, water, and other trail basics — but still light enough to carry all day.

👒 Brimmed Hat
Shields your face and neck from the sun while keeping airflow up — essential on exposed trails.

🕶️ Polarized Sunglasses
Cut glare, reduce squinting, and bring those summit views into sharp focus.

💧 Hydration System
Bottle or bladder — just bring enough. Hydration makes or breaks a hike.

🦯 Trekking Poles
Extra stability on steep terrain or long descents — your knees will notice the difference.
