Yeti Tundra Haul Wheeled Cooler

For serious campers, tailgaters, and cooler enthusiasts, the Yeti Tundra Haul 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).

Other things to know: No internal divider, and contents may shuffle a bit when it’s tipped at an angle. We expected better than the five-year warranty. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.

Yeti Camino 35 Carryall Tote

Nail spring break and summer vacations with this beach-ready tote that’s waterproof, tough-as-nails, and ideal for wet gear. The puncture-resistant shell withstands abuse, and the bag sits upright even when empty. After years of testing Yeti gear, we can’t deny how long-lasting and tough it almost always is.

Other things to know: A touch larger than our top pick, but similar capacity. Its interior pockets are zippered, though, and zippers don’t play well with sand. Only the agave teal color is on sale.

Purist Mover Water Bottle (18 ounces) and Purist Founder Water Bottle (32 ounces)

Stay hydrated with this sleek-looking water bottle, which 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.

Other things to know: Includes the Element twist top, which typically costs less than the spout lid. Not dishwasher-safe. Clunky to drink from. Our most expensive pick. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.

Leatherman Skeletool CX multi-tool

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

Other things to know: Odd asymmetrical design, but it works well ergonomically. Some tools, such as scissors, not included. Handles may spread a little too wide for those with smaller hands. Expensive, but worth the investment. Blunt plier tips. 25-year warranty. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.

Leatherman Signal multi-tool

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

Other things to know: A little more expensive than our top pick. Knife is partially serrated, which isn’t our favorite design, but okay for an outdoor-oriented tool. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.

Amphipod Xinglet Vest

If you plan to run outside more often as the weather warms up, keep safety in mind. We like this reflective vest, which is highly visible from all angles. Its minimalist construction offers great ease of movement, and it’s 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.

Other things to know: Can greatly reduce your risk of being hit by a vehicle. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.

Black Diamond Pursuit Trekking Poles

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.

Other things to know: Far from the most expensive poles we tested, but typically over double the price of our budget pick. The aluminum 7001-series poles are not as stiff or as quiet as carbon-fiber poles. They were $7 cheaper during Black Friday, but this is still a good deal. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.

Vuori AllTheFeels Legging

Get comfy with these chic and well-made leggings, which 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 doing low-impact exercise or just hanging out.

Other things to know: Too fluid for high-impact exercise. Has only one credit-card-sized pocket in side waistband. Noticeable logo tag on left thigh. Internal hip tag may irritate sensitive skin. Comes in sizes XXS (00) to XXL (18 to 20). On sale in pistachio green; no REI membership required.

Badger Adventure Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF 50

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.

Other things to know: Relatively expensive. Compared with our main pick, it’s more difficult to spread and has a greasier, heavier feel on the skin. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.

Yeti Rambler Tumbler with MagSlider Lid (20 ounces)

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

Other things to know: Next to our other picks, it leaks more when knocked over and doesn’t keep drinks as cold. Doesn’t come with a straw lid, though you can purchase one separately. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.

Midland ER310 Emergency Radio

With great radio reception, NOAA early-warning notifications, and a hand crank option that effectively revives it, the ER310 is a durable, compact radio that doubles as a flashlight and charging station. It can also be charged via top-mounted solar panels or micro-USB port.

Other things to know: Hand crank actually works well (a frustratingly rare feat for weather radios). Loud, with built-in NOAA audible alert, but the sound quality isn’t great for listening to music. On sale for REI members with single-use promo code MEMBER2025.
