Klean Kanteen Wide Mouth 64-Ounce Stainless Steel Water Bottle ($23; 37 Percent Off)
Our Gear Guy, Joe Jackson, reviewed this classic bottlein his test of the best growlers for the outdoors. “This fat growler was the least expensive and easiest to clean of the bunch, thanks to its bulbous design and large opening,” he wrote.
NOCO Boost Sport GB20 Car Battery Jump Starter ($50; 37Percent Off)
This portable jump starter is the size of a sandwich, but has the juice to single-handedly revive a vehicle. Charge it via the included USB cable, and throw it in the trunk for additional peace of mind wherever you drive.
Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness Tracker ($99; 33 Percent Off)
The Charge 4 was one of our favorite pieces of wearable tech in our 2020 Sumer Buyer’s Guide. “Fitbit’s first fitness tracker with GPS also records the time you spend in each heart-rate zone and alerts you when you need to ease back or push harder during a workout,” wrote tester Brent Rose.“Sleep monitoring with machine learning helps you wake up at just the right moment.”
Marmot Trestles 15-Degree Sleeping Bag (Women’s) ($82; 30 Percent Off)
“The Trestles has been Marmot’s bestselling sleeping bag for years, because of its backpacking-worthy performance, comfort-boosting features, and great price,” wrote our testers in our 2019 Summer Buyer’s Guide review of the Trestles Elite Eco 30 Bag. The 15-degree version is a tad heavier at four pounds, but offers more warmth on chilly nights. If you plan on winter car camping, consider this bag.
Coleman 4-Person Carlsbad Dark Room Dome Tent ($185; 38Percent Off)
We featured the Carlsbad in a roundup of the best tents for family camping. “The Coleman Carlsbad offers a great price point with the bonus of being a dark-out tent—ideal for midday napping toddlers,” wrote our tester, Shanti Hodges.“Downside: It’s hot. The Carlsbad doesn’t breathe, even with the fly removed, so don’t plan on using this in hot seasons and regions. Also be aware that the cords inside the tent poles are somewhat weak and tend to snap easily.”
Marmot PreCip Rain Jacket (Men’s) ($54; 46Percent Off)

Apple AirPods with Charging Case (Wired) ($119; 25Percent Off)
ϳԹcolumnist Jakob Schiller reviewed the AirPodswhen they got an upgrade last year: “The AirPods offer everything from extended talk time to tap control to Siri, making them an even more coveted piece of everyday carry,” he wrote. “My favorite features are the longer battery life (thanks in part to the power efficiency of the new Apple H1 headphone chip) and ability to quick charge when needed. Apple says you’ll get up to an hour more of talk time, which is nice when you’re on your third conference call of the day and don’t have to worry about your AirPods crapping out midsentence.”
Traeger Grills Pro Series 575 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker ($798; 99Dollars Off)

An improved app with a simple interface makes the Mini easy to fly for those without much drone experience.”
