Looking to explore the great outdoors this fall? The right gear can make or break a camping or hiking trip, so ATN rounded up five must-have products for your outdoor adventures, putting them all to the test during a week on the trail. From a waterproof duffel to an all-in-one multitool, this list will ensure you can focus on the awe-inspiring views.
Leatherman Signal, $139.95
The tiny but mighty Leatherman Signal includes 19 different tools in a 4.75-inch-sized tool. The tools include needlenose pliers, a ferro rod, a hammer, a combo knife, an emergency whistle, a carabiner and a diamond-coated sharpener. The knife includes a straight edge for slicing and a serrated edge for tough materials. The product has almost 1,200 top reviews and comes with a 25-year warranty. The fire starter works flawlessly, and the knife sharpener keeps the tool working even after extensive use. The Signal’s pocket clip makes it easy to access quickly on the go.
HydroFlask 32 oz Lightweight Wide Mouth Trail Series, $49.95
The HydroFlask 32 oz Lightweight Wide Mouth Trail Series packs a punch without the extra weight. It is 25% lighter than HydroFlask’s other 32 oz bottles but keeps cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks hot for up to 12. The bottle is leakproof and comes with a convenient handle for easy attachment to hiking backpacks. Its slim design also allows for extra pocket room for other trail necessities.
Osprey Transporter Waterproof Duffel 70, $360.00
This transporter waterproof duffel received an IPX-7 Waterproof rating, which means it protects its contents throughout water immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of up to 1 meter. For bigger expeditions, ensure your tents, sleeping bags, and equipment are protected against the elements with this transporter. It also has padded shoulder straps, reinforced grab handles, and lash points that make it easy to secure the bag through difficult stretches of hiking. If you’re setting out on an ambitious venture, ensure your gear is protected with this duffel.
Sunday Afternoon Ultra Adventure Hat, $50
The Sunday Afternoon Ultra Adventure Hat is ready to become a staple during any hiking trip, long or short. The hat has a UPF 50+ sun rating and has a wicking sweatband to keep you cool. It is water and stain-resistant and folds up for easy storage. The 3-inch clamshell brim and the 6-inch neck cape will keep your skin protected and the sun out of your eyes, no matter the conditions. Even after a week in the woods, my hat (and skin) looked as good as new despite daily wear on the trail during long summer days.
Osprey‘s Hikelite 32, $160.00
For day hikes, Osprey’s Hikelite 32 is lightweight but holds everything you need from sunrise to sunset. It is Osprey’s quintessential “stuff-and-go” outside pocket, and external organization to manage overloads. The bag comes in two sizes, small/medium and medium/large, for customizability and comfort. It also includes a rain cover, so you’re ready for all types of weather. Other features include an adjustable sternum strap with a rescue whistle and a comfortable, padded hip belt with a zippered pocket.
