For serious campers, tailgaters, and cooler enthusiasts, the Yeti Tundra 45 is the best cooler with wheels we’ve ever used. The roto-molded body keeps the contents ice cold, and the thick-gauge welded aluminum handle and arm can handle the full weight of the fully loaded cooler for years (a surprisingly high bar to clear).

Nail spring break and summer vacations with this large beach bag pick that can hold 60 liters of your family’s snacks and gear. It has one zippered interior pocket and two others made of mesh, making it easy to dump out any sand that may get in them. It’s well-built by a registered B-corp that’s transparent about its social and environmental impact and labor practices.

Stay hydrated with this sleek-looking water bottle that has an unbreakable glass interior that prevents flavors from transferring. It looks like a design object, insulates both hot and cold drinks well, and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Fix things on the fly with our lightweight and slim top multitool pick. It’s easy to carry, built to last, and has all the well-executed essentials you might need day-to-day—including needle-nose and regular pliers, wire cutters, two Phillips screwdrivers, two flat screwdrivers, and a handy carabiner clip—with no filler.

If you want a multitool geared more toward camping and survival, check out the Signal. It’s got our top pick’s basic set of tools, plus extras that are good for the outdoors and emergency preparation—including an effective whistle, fire-starter rod, knife sharpener, saw, and awl—without adding much bulk.

If you plan to run outside more often as the weather warms up, keep safety in mind. We like this reflective vest that’s highly visible from all angles. Its minimalist construction gives great ease of movement, and it is highly adjustable to fit a wide variety of heights and waist sizes. In our testing, it didn’t get too sweaty on a hard run.

These poles are the most comfortable and among the quietest hiking poles we tested. Strong and flexible, they endured rough and sandy hikes and mountain runs without collapsing under our weight. They come in two sizes and are easy to adjust to different lengths.

These waterproof open-ear headphones produce excellent, crystal-clear sound and have a built-in MP3 player that can hold up to 8,000 songs. They’re ideal for swimmers as they transmit vibrations through your skull rather than your eardrums, making music sound crisper underwater (though they can be used on land, too).

Get comfy with these chic and well-made leggings that have a high waist that doesn’t pinch or slip. They also have a subtle, booty-flattering V-shaped back panel, and our testers found them super-soft, comfy, and lightweight. They’re good for low-impact exercise or just hanging out.

We think this sunscreen is worth considering if you’re on the hunt for a reef-safe formula that doesn’t contain added fragrance. This four-ingredient formula with zinc oxide 25% is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.

This tumbler has a sloped lip, which makes sipping easy, and the smooth, lid-locking mechanism is easy to operate one-handed while driving. Both the tumbler and lid are dishwasher-safe and easy to keep clean.
