Get the most out of your off-season with these 13 pieces of gear

Don’t get us wrong—we love winter gear. In fact, we’re so obsessed with it that we just finished our massive, comprehensive Buyer’s Guide that includes 357 hand-selected ski products. But, we’re fans of the off-season, too, and therefore we’ve brought you these 13 purchase-worthy products to hold you over till the snow starts falling again.


Moji Charging Station Lantern

Moji Charging Station Lantern

Black Diamond | $79.95

When you’re out adventuring, you’ve got to be selective about your packing list, and the Moji Charging Station Lantern should make that list every time. It’s both a lantern and portable charger, and weighing in at just under a pound, it’s barely noticeable in your bag even on the longest of days.

Drafter 12L Backpack

Drafter 12L Backpack

Dakine | $125

It’s a little baffling how much a backpack can do these days, and the Drafter 12L is leading the charge with that bafflement. Between its Hydrapak reservoir with a quick disconnect system and magnetic hose clip, helmet-carrier, fleece-lined sunglass pocket and many more features, this thing will serve any outdoorsperson well.

Midori 2

Midori 2

Eureka! | $159.95

Please, for the love of god, do not go to a place like Target or Walmart if you’re looking for an affordable tent. There are, in fact, wonderful options out there for you, and the Midori 2 is one that should be heavily considered at just $159.95. The three-season tent sleeps two people, packs well, is easy to setup and take down and weighs just under five pounds, too.

21 oz Standard Mouth

21 oz Standard Mouth

Hydroflask | $27.95

Drinking bottled water is bad for the environment and a waste of money. Period. If you like helping the environment instead, and drinking water that stays cold for hours on end thanks to high-tech insulation, go with the beastly 21 oz Standard Mouth from Hydroflask. This thing rocks, and it’s pretty dang stylish, too.

Trailmate

Trailmate

Igloo | $299.99

This cooler is such a beast that it’ll probably make your car look like a wuss, but you should buy it anyway because it’s just bad to the bone. Like, Stone Cold Steve Austin bad to the bone. Rugged outdoor-friendly wheels mow over any terrain, bottle openers keep beers flowing all day and it retains ice for four days long. Party on. (Disclaimer: This thing is big, so plan on using it for car camping, not long treks.)

Sumo Cooking System

Sumo Cooking System

Jetboil | $139.95

There are a lot of awful off-grid cooking systems out there, and the Sumo Cooking System laughs at them all. You can set it up within seconds, have water boiling within a minute (literally) and not worry about pesky wind thanks to its powerful and covered-up flame. Oh, and it only weighs one pound.

Comstock

Comstock

Smith | $169

Growler

MiiR | $52.95

Waterbottle? Check. Badass beer carrier? With the MiiR Growler—check.
