Ah, winter travel! That magical time when the world transforms into a frosted wonderland, and you can feel like a popsicle while you’re travelling if you’re not careful. Whether you're jet-setting across the country or taking a road trip to visit loved ones, staying warm and comfortable should be essential. Fear not, winter travelers! We've got you covered (literally) with these 6 tips to keep the chill at bay. From what to wear for travel in winter to ingenious packing hacks, let’s make this winter journey a cozy one.
1. Embrace the Power of Warm Feet
Let’s talk about cold feet—the literal kind. Airplane cabins, train compartments, and even car floors can feel like iceboxes in winter. Enter Heat Holders® Slipper Socks, your new travel MVP. These socks aren’t just warm; they’re oh-my-gosh-I’m-on-a-cloud warm. Soft, thick, and equipped with non-slip grippers, they’re perfect for padding around drafty airport lounges or staying cozy during long-haul flights. (Find them here!)
2. Keep It Light With Heat Holders® Jackets
Bulky sweaters may seem like the answer to winter’s chill, but they’re carry-on luggage nightmares. Instead, opt for Heat Holders® Jackets or vests. These warm-yet-lightweight wonders fold neatly into your bag ready to keep you snug as a bug if you need it. Heading straight from a frosty parking lot into the airport or train terminal? Try a stylish shirt jacket for warmth without the bulk of a heavy winter coat. (Check out the jacket collection here.)
3. Layer Up
Layering is the key to comfort when travelling. From a cozy base layer to zip jacket, choose items that allow you to easily remove outer layers when not needed.
Layer Smartly With Heat Holders® Base Layers
Sitting still for hours on a plane or train is an open invitation for the chill creep in. Stay comfortable with Heat Holders® Base Layers. Designed for maximum warmth and minimal bulk, they’re perfect for layering under travel outfits. Choose the warmth level that's right for how chilly you feel. (Shop them here.)
4. Always Carry a Travel Blanket on the Road
A cozy travel blanket is an absolute staple for winter road trips, offering both comfort and practicality when the temperatures drop. Whether you're embarking on a long drive or just running errands on a frosty day, having a travel blanket on hand can make all the difference. It’s perfect for snuggling under in case of unexpected car trouble or breakdowns, providing a layer of warmth and reassurance during those chilly moments.
Beyond emergencies, a travel blanket is also ideal for maintaining comfort for your passengers while keeping the car interior cool, helping you stay alert and attentive as you drive. Plus, it’s versatile enough to use for impromptu picnics, roadside rests, or warmth at the game. Compact yet cozy, this essential winter item is a must-have for anyone hitting the road in cold weather. (Shop blankets and throws, here.)
5. Invest in a Good Travel Mug
Nothing warms you up faster than a hot drink. Bring along an insulated travel mug and fill it with your favorite tea, coffee, or cocoa. Not only will it keep your hands warm, but it also ensures you’ll always have a comforting sip ready. An insulated mug retains heat for hours, so your drink stays warm even in cold conditions. It’s a simple yet essential addition for cold-weather outings, offering warmth and comfort wherever you go.
6. Plan Ahead for Drafty Hotel Rooms
Hotel heating can be hit or miss. Bring along your Heat Holders® gear—socks, base layers, or even a cozy thermal blanket—to ensure you’ll stay warm, no matter where you’re staying. Cold floors can ruin even the best winter travel plans. Pack a pair of non-slip slippers for hotel rooms.
