Kelty Low Loveseat Camp Chair

In our review of Kelty’s much-loved camp couch, we said, “The steel frame is plenty strong (even for two people) and can easily handle 600 pounds. We like that the seat is slightly reclined for comfort, and our testers found the shorter height of the Low allowed for a more relaxed lounge.”

Black Diamond Stonehauler 45L Duffel

Adventure duffel bags are a gear staple. We’ve been testing the new Black Diamond Stonehauler 45L duffel, and it’s a legit contender against other top duffels on the market. We love the padding on the side of the bag that protects our gear and the comfy, removable backpack straps. The burly outer fabric should last for years of expeditions, weekend trips, and everything in between.

Pearl Izumi PRO AmFIB Shell

This triple-layer, four-way-stretch, foul-weather-ready jacket is completely windproof and water-resistant thanks to its proprietary PI Dry treatment. The brand says this technology causes water to bead up at the surface and runoff before it has the chance to soak through the fabric and membrane.

Bonded seams at the cuffs, neck, and hem reduce bulk and keep this top form-fitting. The brand claims it will protect like an insulated rain jacket and still fits like a long-sleeve jersey — and it’s ready for any weather conditions!
