Such an easy buy and one you won’t regret carrying around. The Matador Mini Pocket Blanket is unbelievably small but it’s waterproof so you don't have to sit on the wet grass while picnicking at the park.
When you’re out camping in the wilderness, you may have some water nearby to wash your body. However, a warm shower isn’t that easy to come by. The Epic Massive Wet Wipes are exactly that… massive enough to wash your whole body without any water so you end up squeaky clean and smelling fresh.
Preparedness is top priority at Outdoor Goyo and Adventure Medical Kits makes the best around for an affordable price. Watertight packing and quality bandages make this an easy and lightweight item to bring along on any adventure.
I used to use a pump filter, but they are heavy and fail often. The Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System is compact, cheap and you can back-flow the filter to keep using over and over again. Check out their gravity system for car camping.
I’ve always gone backpacking without trekking poles and it wasn’t until a friend urged me to give them a try that I was completely sold. I won’t go on any hike without them. Many carbon fiber poles are expensive and don’t adjust to various heights. These are great for ultralight tent posts as well as your best friend up and down mountains.
So small, yet so fierce. The Microblade 2.0 has a clip for your pocket or for money and credit cards as an everyday carry without being a burden. The shape of the knife is utilitarian and only weighs 1oz.
We need tunes wherever we go and the powerful JBL Clip Speaker can go anywhere being waterproof and compact. The clip makes it easy to hook onto a backpack and it comes in a bunch of fun colors.
Our team tested out all the best reef-safe sunscreens on the market and found Skinnies Sungel to be the easiest to apply, longest lasting on the skin while surfing, simplest to remove, and shocked how long a bottle lasted. Read the full review here.
A solid mid-layer is essential for the winter but also for the shoulder seasons. The new Patagonia Nano Puff Hoody balances lightweight durability with breathable warmth. Most jackets in this category are expensive but you will never regret the purchase, especially with Patagonia’s sustainable practices.
A moment passes in a second and if your camera’s not ready, you’ll miss the opportunity to capture it. Hence, the Peak Design Capture Camera Clip, a unique and secure way to keep your camera at the ready on your belt or backpack strap. Plus, the plate is standard for most tripods.
