Camelbak Chute Mag Renew Water Bottle
REI
This 25-fluid-ounce Camelbak water bottle is a forever favorite of mine. It’s pretty much the only reusable bottle I’ve been able to use for years, and that’s all thanks to its design. It’s made from a very durable plastic that’s still incredibly lightweight, so I can carry it pretty much anywhere without feeling like I am carrying a brick. My water never tastes weird, and I find that this bottle is easy to clean because there aren’t too many crevices or unseen bits. The lid, once fully closed, doesn’t leak either. I also prefer this style of lid because it makes it easy to chug, which is key for workouts. There’s really nothing negative to say about this bottle, and with a $12 price point, I am thinking about picking up a second one to have on hand.
REI Co-op On The Trail Cap
REI
In the summer, I rarely like to go outside for a long time without wearing a hat. I’ve been in desperate need of one that’s strictly for outdoor movement, whether it’s a walk, a hike or a run. As soon as I saw this now-$23 cap from REI Co-op, I knew I found the perfect one. It’s made with moisture-wicking fabric, and has ventilation holes to keep things breezy. It’s also designed to fit snugly, so it doesn’t move about as you’re running. It has an easy-to-adjust back, and comes in some nice colors, including my favorite spruce green shade.
Asics GEL-Kayano 30
REI
Bachelorette star Hannah Brown, chef and TV personality Katie Lee Biegel, and heaps of other celebrities and influencers swear by the Asics Gel Kayano sneakers. I found the 30 model on sale at REI right now, and based on the specs alone, I can see why folks flock to them. They have a maximum level of cushion at the base, with plenty of impact absorption at the heel that’s perfect for avid runners and walkers. These shoes were also designed with support at the arch in mind, which is also built into the shoe’s sole. Combined with a breathable upper, these shoes were made for people who love to move. Shop them on sale now at REI.
Oboz Sawtooth X Low Hiking Shoes
REI
Associate Editorial Director Carolyn Malcoun has been raving about these Oboz hiking shoes for months. Rarely have I ever seen them on sale, until today. Malcoun wears them everyday on her dog walks. They have high-traction soles for added stability, plus specially-designed insoles to keep you comfortable for as long as possible. The mesh upper remains breathable, but also keeps your feet nice and dry no matter where you step. Combined with a plush ankle and durable laces to tie them to your exact fit, these shoes are all you need for any hike.
Nathan VaporAiress 3.0 7 L Hydration Vest
REI
I’ve been seeing hydration vests everywhere, and I think it’s mainly because folks are more motivated to run and hike outside thanks to some improved weather. As the temperatures rise, it becomes increasingly important to stay hydrated, though the thought of carrying a bottle as you run is less than ideal. Luckily, this Nathan vest exists, and is ready to carry all the water, snacks, and electrolytes you need to keep you going. It is easy to adapt to fit your body, and comes with more pockets and pouches than I can count. The fabric itself is moisture wicking, so your body will still be able to breathe, even on the hottest of days. I also love the colorway it comes in—the periwinkle and pink keeps it cute, but they’re also lighter so they won’t attract that hot sun.
Brooks Ghost 15 Road-Running Shoes
REI
If you’re a fan of the Brooks ghost line like myself and Editorial Director Victoria Seaver, you’ll want to check out this top-notch deal on the Brooks Ghost 15 sneaker. These shoes are a more updated version of the brand’s signature Ghost line, and features all of the classic hallmarks. They’re lightweight, they’re supportive, they’re cushioned just enough to absorb impact, and they’re not bulky at all on the feet. They’re great shoes for everyday walks, which is how Seaver and I love to wear them, in addition to runs, too. They’re on sale in seven different shades, though they’re selling fast.
Nemo Stargaze Reclining Camp Chair
REI
I’ve been searching for the perfect camping chair for months, and I am so excited about this Nemo Stargaze option, since it checks all my boxes and then some. I mainly want it for reading outside, as I’d love to take it to different parks, or even around spots in my backyard. It’s completely portable, as it can fold down and weighs under 10 pounds. It has one of the most unique designs I have seen, as it is secured onto two parallel poles to float, making it easy to adjust the angle if you need. There’s a head cushion on the back for added comfort, with a wide open shape that’ll make it easy to sit criss-cross if I want to. I also love that it has cup holders, that way I can keep my Camelbak close by. Every color is on sale, so the toughest part will be deciding which one I like best.
The North Face Alta Vista Jacket
REI
Even the warmest summer months aren’t absent of chilly, rainy days. I always keep my raincoat from The North Face nearby, so that I don’t have to give up a walk outside just because of the weather. This Alta Vista model is currently on sale for 30% off in every color, and I’d rush to score it if I were you. It’s made with a water-resistant nylon material, along with a hood to keep you shielded on drizzly days. There’s a pocket on the chest, plus two pockets on each bottom side, all with zip closures. You can score it in fun shades, like black currant purple, steel blue, and forest olive, or grab it in more neutral shades, like black or smoked pearl gray.
The North Face Sunriser T-Shirt
REI
I always need to have breathable t-shirts on hand during warmer months for when I am in crowded spaces and want to feel comfortable. This North Face t-shirt looks like it’s right up my alley, thanks to its moisture-wicking and fast drying material. It has a slightly fitted design, which I love, plus slightly longer sleeves which I also prefer, since they help protect some of my tattoos (and protect more of my skin in general). The blue shade is on sale for the highest discount, though all of the other shades are also on sale for 30% off.
Thule Compression Packing Cube Set
REI
If there’s one thing I love, it’s an organized yet overpacked suitcase. This goes for all adventures—even overnight beach trips. One of the best ways to keep things compact and in their own zone is with packing cubes. I am eyeing these cubes from Thule right now while it’s 25% off, because they’re designed to completely compress. I don’t want to sacrifice on packing multiple options, so these would be a complete game changer for me since I know they’ll help me save space. They work by having two separate zip closures: one for closing the bag and one for compressing. The brand thought of all the details too, because these come with semi-transparent fabric, so you can see what’s inside more easily. Plus both cubes have handles for easy grabbing. The set comes with a medium and a large pack for just $34.
On Cloudrunner Road-Running Shoes
REI
I absolutely love my On sneakers, and you can score a pair of your own from the brand on sale right now. The Cloudrunner sneaker is currently up to 30% off, depending on the color you choose. They have that lightweight, open air sole I love, with a nicely tapered design to make each step more seamless. They have a breathable upper, and a nice tread at the bottom of the shoe that adds stability on whatever road you run on. Score the colorway I love the most, the heron and black, for $105, as well as the white and flame and the white and frost for $112.
