Hats, eyewear, SPF, insect repellents
Stay covered, comfortable and ready for summer with sun protection made for beach days, trails, travel, festivals and everyday time outside.
Worth knowing
Sun protection is not just for hot days. UV can still affect exposed skin when it feels cool or cloudy, especially around water, hills and open spaces. Choose sunglasses for glare, hats for extra coverage, SPF for exposed skin and insect repellent for grassy areas, campsites and evening walks.
EYEWEAR
Polarised sunglasses help reduce glare from water, roads and bright surfaces. Choose darker lenses for strong sun and lighter lenses for changeable conditions.
HATS & COVERAGE
Wide-brim hats, caps and neck covers help shield your face, ears and neck. Breathable styles are best for walking, hiking, travel and long days outside.
SPF & REPELLENT
Use high-factor SPF on exposed skin and reapply regularly, especially after swimming or sweating. Insect repellent is useful for trails, campsites, long grass and summer evenings.
Ticks
Use DEET-based tick repellent on exposed skin and clothing before walks through long grass, woodland, campsites or trails. Check skin and clothing after time outdoors.
Sandals, flip flops, walking shoes
Stay comfortable on warm-weather walks, beach days, travel plans and everyday summer outings with footwear made for pavement, trails, campsites and coastal paths.
Worth knowing
Summer footwear should feel light, comfortable and ready for the day ahead. Choose open sandals or flip flops for beach days, poolside wear and relaxed summer plans. Go for closed-toe sandals or walking shoes when you need more grip, support and protection on uneven paths, trails or rocky ground.
SANDALS
Open sandals are ideal for pavement, beach days and casual summer wear. Closed-toe styles add extra protection for rocky paths, wet ground and light outdoor exploring.
FLIP FLOPS
Easy to pack, quick to slip on and ideal for holidays, campsites, showers, poolside use and relaxed days by the water.
WALKING SHOES
A lighter choice for warm-weather walks, travel days and dry trails. Look for breathable uppers, comfortable cushioning and reliable grip without the bulk of boots.

Swim & Watersports
Get ready for cold-water swims, beach days, pool sessions and watersports with wetsuits, swimwear, goggles, changing robes and dry bags made for time in and around the water.
Worth knowing
Irish water can stay cold even in summer, so the right kit makes a big difference. A wetsuit helps keep warmth in for sea swims and watersports, while goggles improve visibility and comfort in bright or choppy water. Pack a changing robe for warmth before and after swimming, and use a dry bag to keep clothes, towels, keys and electronics away from salt, sand and spray.
WETSUITS
Choose a full wetsuit for cooler water, longer swims and watersports. Shorty wetsuits work well for warmer days, quick dips and extra freedom of movement.
CHANGING ROBES
A changing robe gives warmth, coverage and comfort before and after the water. Ideal for sea swims, surf days, campsites and beach trips.
DRY BAGS
Keep spare clothes, towels, snacks and valuables protected from water, salt and sand. Useful for beach days, kayaking, paddleboarding and wet gear after a swim.
SWIM ACCESSORIES
Swim caps, towels, nose clips and ear plugs can make regular swims more comfortable, especially in colder water or busy pool sessions.

Worth knowing
Good insulation makes a big difference on warm days. Pre-chill bottles and cool boxes before use, then add ice packs or cubes to keep drinks and food colder for longer. Choose a bottle or tumbler for daily carry, a larger insulated bottle for shared days out, and a cool box or soft cooler for picnics, campsites, car boots and weekends away.

A 500ml to 750ml insulated bottle is ideal for work, school, travel, walks and everyday hydration.
TUMBLERS
