Rumpl reimagined its classic blanket with a synthetic fill that’s clumped like down. That gives it an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio while making it ­supremely ­packable. We also love that it’s 100 percent recycled.

Handcrafted in North Carolina, this ash-wood number is roughly two feet high and provides just over three square feet of surface area—enough for happy hour. It folds flat for easy storage.


10 Barrel Brewing Swill Shandy ($11 for six)

Beer mixed with lemonade is a summer classic. 10 Barrel brings a twist to that formula, combining American sour ale with grapefruit and lemon. It’s crisp, sweet, and endlessly refreshing.

Go from mowing the lawn to hosting your neighbors without changing out of these waterproof leather kicks, which hide their ­durability in a sleek ­Chelsea silhouette.

A low-slung metal frame, pack straps for easy transport, and durable 300-denier fabric make the Outward Low undeniably camp-ready. But with wooden armrests and a muted aesthetic, it’s at home in a minimalist patio setup, too.


Yeti V Series ­Stainless Steel Cooler ($800)

With its bold looks and vacuum-insulated inte­rior, Yeti’s stainless-steel ice chest is like a fridge for your yard. It’s sleek looking (if a little heavy) and durable enough to park permanently outside.

Butane activates Thermacell’s scent-free repellent, producing a 15-foot-radius zone of bug-free bliss without an open flame. The metallic exterior is a nice touch.

Tincup made its name with a blend of rye and single-malt whiskey that we’ve loved for years. This new offering is 95 percent rye and 5 per­cent barley, with a lightly smoky flavor that pairs well with bonfires.

Throw movies from your favorite streaming services against the house with Nebula’s 5.9-inch tall, Wi-Fi-connected Capsule Max projector. The image expands up to 100 inches without sacrificing clarity.
