What's New, What's Hot: June 2016

What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. This month, we take a look at several products for summer travel. First up, while intrusive and insistent paparazzi might not be your problem when out and about, the Paparazzi Thwarting Sun Visor can at the least protect your face from the harsh glare of the sun. The reflective visor pulls down over your face to block 99 percent of harmful solar rays -- its one-way reflective, 19.25-inch-long by 10-inch-wide surface does the trick -- while providing 50 plus UPF protection.

The primary selling points of this unique cotton beach towel are that it is waterproof, which is unique in itself, and ''anti-sand,'' which is supposed to indicate that the product's nylon base backing has ''loop-less'' fibers that sand will not stick to. Pick up the towel from the beach and, according to Sandusa, it will be sand free. In addition, because it is constructed to be waterproof, the beach towel can also be used to wrap your wet gear, protect car seats after a day at the beach or protect electronic gear from a sudden rain storm.
