Wellies: A Must-Have Travel Accessory

Preparing for a trip means making sure you have everything you need and are prepared for all possibilities. Making sure you have the right clothes for the time of year you’re travelling (and suitable for wherever it is you’re going), and all the best supplies will ensure that you have a great journey and an even better holiday.

Camping

A bit of time in the great outdoors can be good for the soul, but it also means that we’re at the mercy of the elements. At this time of year, things get darker, colder and wetter, so it’s important that you prepare for less than stellar weather.

Even in the summer months, it’s a good idea to prepare for the worst. As well as packing your waterproofs, be sure to make sure you have the right footwear. Camp sites can get very muddy because of the busy activity with lots of people walking around, so a pair of wellies is an absolute must. It’s the best way to keep your feet dry and warm, and there’s the added bonus of them being easy to slip on when you need to make your away across a dark field to find the toilets.

Festivals

Summer is the festival season, and every year companies rake in the cash by charging higher prices for emergency gear. The last few Glastonbury’s have proven that the chances of mud are pretty high, and yet year after year festivalgoers are caught short.

A good pair of wellies is an excellent festival accessory. They keep your feet dry and protect your legs from the mud, but a stylish set of Hunter wellies from M and M Direct will also look great when paired with tights, shorts and skirts. It also goes to show that you can wear wellies and still look fabulous!

Winter Holidays

Wellies aren’t just for the mud, they’re also idea for the snow and ice! A good pair of wellies will have a strong grip on the sole so that you don’t slip, and the design of wellies means that you can walk through inches of snow without it soaking into your clothes and skin.

Wrap your feet up in some woolly socks and keep your toes toasty in you wellies as you walk through a winter wonderland, knowing that you’re well protected and comfortable.

Wellies are great and come in useful for plenty of different environments and keep your feet dry and warm in the worst weathers, whether you’re wading through the mud or crunching through the snow. Investing in a high quality pair will last you for years and serve you well when you travel.
