1. A waterproof pouch to keep your phone and other "doesn't play well with water"-type gadgets safe. Not only does this keep it safe, but you can still use the touchscreen with it, meaning you can take underwater photos galore 🐠🐟🐡.
2. A set of cooling towels that get chilly the moment you soak them in water and wring them out — a godsend for when you're looking for quick ways to cool down when the temperature outside starts to spike.
3. An appropriately named "Butt Be Dry," which is basically a lightweight fanny pack that unfurls into a small waterproof, mud-proof tarp for your tush, so you can park it wherever you need. Basically, wet benches and muddy grass at parks or sporting events just became free sitting game again.
4. A pair of dreamy polarized aviator sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection against the harsh rays of the sun (plus that air of ~maybe I own a motorbike, maybe I don't~ mystery).
5. A 3D mouth bracket you can clip to the inside of your face mask to keep you from breathing in fabric, which is *especially* handy if you get spring allergies.
6. Or a popular water-resistant Under Armour face mask designed to sit off your lips, giving you plenty of room to breathe without getting fabric sucked into your mouth mid-run, whether you're in the heat or the rain. It's also made with the company's Iso-Chill fabric, so it doesn't overheat despite being bulkier than other masks.
7. A delightful little tool called the "Bug Bite Thing" that suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness.
8. A pair of popular quick-dry water shoes that reviewers love for everything from walking on rockier beaches to kayaking to washing their cars. They're flexible and comfy like a sock, but protective against nefarious objects like sharp rocks and stray Legos.

11. A DEET-free plant-based bug repellent to repel mosquitos for up to six hours *without* repelling all the humans in your general vicinity, because unlike other popular repellents, this has a lovely lemon eucalyptus smell.

13. A popular streak-free anti-fog spray you can quickly apply to eyeglasses, sunglasses, and face shields to prevent them from fogging up while you're wearing a mask, which is *particularly* annoying in humidity.
14. A chic BruMate insulated can cooler so all your beloved White Claws, Red Bulls, and LaCroixs can stay cool as a cucumber in the sun, and you can enjoy them while taking your sweet time.
15. Or a freezable wineglass for those of us who are less "no laws while you're drinking claws" and more "rosé all day."

17. A portable George Foreman grill for anyone whose heart says "BURGERS IN THE SUNSHINE!!" but whose outside space says "I am so small." This has a nonstick coating and a removable stand, so you can cook on a table top or in the grass.
18. A durable, waterproof Bluetooth speaker so you can have some tunes for picnics or outdoor workouts without worrying about its wires getting fried by unexpected downpours.
19. A set of popular wickaway sweatbands perfect for long runs in the sunshine — these stop the sweat from stinging your eyes (or worse, from leaking sunscreen into your eyes).

22. A reusable bamboo pee rag (dubbed a "Wander Wipe") you can use on long hikes or camping trips to avoid wasting toilet paper — it's specially designed with a waterproof exterior to keep your hand from getting wet, and a foldable interior to keep the inside from getting exposed.
23. A handy as heck sunburn soother that's a true investment for the sunnier parts of the year — it's made with aloe and coconut oil to hydrate skin and gently relieve pain from the sun's unforgiving rays within just a few hours.
24. A pair of lacy thigh bands that'll stay in place all through the warm weather months, so you don't have to worry about that dreaded thigh chafe whenever you want to flounce around in dresses.
25. Or a stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm you can apply between your thighs to avoid all that skin irritation you get from running or hiking in the heat.

27. A waterproof and portable inflatable lounger so easy to use that it'll feel like you found a cheat code for life — you literally just hold onto it and snap it into the air, letting the wind fill it up. Boom, instant cozy chair in any socially distanced spot you can find.
28. A satin-lined Hairbrella that's got your back through any kind of nonsense weather Poseidon throws your way — it protects against rain, snow, and humidity while perfectly preserving your hairdo.
29. A flip-top lid for your wineglass you can use to save your vino during spring nights on the patio instead of halfheartedly batting away flies and fishing them out later. All you do is secure it to the base and the rim of your glass and then you can flip it on and off at your leisure — 100% fewer bugs in your diet, guaranteed.
30. A rechargeable, flameless electric lighter to replace all your old gas ones — a real game-changer for campers looking for a safe and effective way to light campfires (especially because these are designed to be windproof!).
31. A hands-free portable neck fan you can charge with a USB, because you know what?? Staying cool is the new fashion and fans are the hottest accessory.
32. A water-resistant, durable picnic blanket designed to be *super* easy to clean, with a fabric that lets you easily brush off crumbs, dirt, and sand. Reviewers also mention how soft and comfy it is, and how nicely if rolls up to take on the go.
33. Plus a rolling cutlery holder for picnics so you can stop wasting plastic pairs (and actually carry a decent knife *worthy* of the baguette and cheese you're enjoying in the great outdoors).
34. A blister-preventing balm that basically magics an extra layer between your skin and your shoe, so you can go on all your summer hikes without worrying about breaking in your new boots.
35. A facial cooling spray for some sweeeeet, sweet and immediate relief when the sun starts treating all of us like cookie dough in an oven.

40. A UPF 50+ protective running hat for shielding your face from sunburns and keeping the sweat out of your unsuspecting eyeballs.
41. A Geekey multitool for camping, which looks impressive at first glance, but functions as *deep breath* a coring tip, serrated edge, can opener, wire stripper, smoking pipe, file, imperial and metric ruler, protractor, bottle opener, multi-head fit driver, lanyard hole, bike spoke key, screw driver tip, wrench, *and* bit driver all at once. Basically, the great outdoors has nothing on you now.
42. A cooling elevated pet bed made of a breathable fabric that prevents "hot spots" and increases air flow, so your doggo can safely people-watch with you outdoors all summer long.
