San Diego Comic-Con is just around the corner, starting with a preview night on July 24 and running through July 28. As you start planning your trip, it’s important to think about what gear you’ll need to make the most of the event. Luckily, there are plenty of options out there to help you stay prepared and comfortable throughout the convention.
When it comes to packing, BoxLunch and Loungefly have you covered with some great options. Loungefly has released full-size nylon backpacks featuring popular themes like Spider-Verse, Beetlejuice, and Jurassic Park. If you’re looking for a statement piece, Sprayground has a limited edition Looney Tunes collection with a stylish design and a durable shell to protect your tech. BoxLunch also has new releases for Deadpool and Wolverine fans, including a Deadpool Quilted Emblem Mini Backpack and a Deadpool tactical pouch with room for a water bottle.
Staying hydrated is key during long days at the convention, so be sure to pack hydration boosters like Liquid IV and carry a water bottle. Corkcicle offers matching Deadpool and Wolverine canteens that are perfect for you and a friend. And don’t forget to combat the infamous “con-stank” with a Star Wars soap set from Dr. Squatch or a travel skincare routine inspired by Pixar’s Inside Out 2 from Bubble.
For those Hall H lines, Home Depot has you covered with items to make the wait more comfortable. Consider an inflatable camping sleeping pad for easy setup on concrete, Philips Solar Color Changing Portable Lanterns for when it gets dark, and portable fans for the sunny San Diego days.
When it’s time to sleep, stay cozy with a Batman Forever-inspired Riddler set or a Lore Olympus Persephone satin set from Heroes & Villains. And of course, don’t forget to pack power banks and accessories for your phone. Casetify offers on-theme options like a Jujutsu Kaisen magsafe portable charger or a Donald Duck power stand.
