When it comes to camping stoves, the smaller, the better. No one wants to lug around a large gas burner when roaming the outdoors, after all. As such, it’s no surprise to see camping stoves get more and more compact. Despite that, we’re pretty amazed that the Katadyn Optimus Gemini II is able to fit…
It looks like any sleeping bag. You know, the kind you’ll slip into and zip up, so you can get toasty while sleeping it off in the outdoors. It’s far from the perfect, especially with that unruly zipper keeping whole thing in place, but it works. The Marmot Wraptor wants to make it work better…
It looks like one of the dozens (or hundreds) of Thermos copycats over the years. You know, those large vacuum bottles you can fill up with hot soup, cold water, or hot coffee for taking to your outdoor adventures. And it works, pretty much, the same way. Except, the GSI Glacier Insulated Travel Stack is…
We’re big fans of Lifestraw and their clever water-filtering straw, which has seen numerous iterations through the years, each one getting lighter and more compact than previous installments. Their latest, the Lifestraw Sip Essential, is their lightest one yet, making it incredibly convenient to take with you anywhere. How light is it? According to the…
Ultralight tents make it extremely easy to carry a functional shelter on your pack. Problem is, they usually come with limited room, so you’re stuck curling up in your sleeping bag inside a cramped space. The Outdoor Vitals Cirq Trekking Pole Tent seeks to give you a bit more space. Like other ultralight tents, this…
The Sharp GF-777 is widely renowned as among the most legendary boomboxes, with its big size, big sound, and iconic looks. It’s so popular, in fact, working units can still go for up to a couple of grand on eBay these days. The big problem? The darn thing eats D batteries, making it an absolute…
Beach towels are great. They’re absorbent enough to dry you off after swimming, while being large enough to lie down on when sunbathing. The Rumpl Tech Towel Tote makes the beach towel even more useful by allowing it to fold into a handy tote bag. That’s right, this beach towel transforms into a tote bag…
Hard-side coolers are great, allowing you to keep drinks and food chilled inside a rigid container. Their large size allows you to fill them up with enough supplies for an entire group, too. Problem is, that same size makes it a headache to store once you’re back home. The Coleman Snap ‘N Go changes that….
Party speakers with built-in karaoke functions have been around a couple of years. The incorporation of AI systems, though, have really turned them into powerful karaoke machines. The JBL PartyBox On-the-Go 2, for instance, won’t just mute the vocals on any song you want to sing along to, it can even use AI to keep…
We’ll admit: the MOW Isola26 is far from the most stylish jacket you can rock during wet, chilly weather. It is, however, one of the most utilitarian, vowing to not just keep you dry, but offer all the gear storage you will need for a day out and about. Billed as a “waterproof adventure jacket,”…
