Outdoor camping gear makes a huge difference to a camping experience. Tents and sleeping bags can make or break a camping trip. Here are our top picks for items that can help you enjoy your time outdoors and stay comfortable.
Sleeping Bag Liner
The lining of your sleeping bag is crucial for keeping you warm and cozy while asleep. It's best to use a lightweight, soft lining for a heavy duty bag such as a down bag or synthetic bag. Patagonia's merino liner adds 15° of warmth to insulated bags, making it a must for winter campers.
Water Treatment Container
An insulated water bottle is a great way to keep drinking water colder longer and will also help you stay hydrated. This is also an excellent place to keep all your drinks and snacks.
Packtowl Towel
The camping towel is perfect for drying off after a rain or sweaty day. It is very lightweight, convenient to use, and can be packed down small.
Summer Camping Gear
For any camper, it is important to have the right camping gear for summer. There are many options to suit your needs, from a beach tent or pop-up canopy to a tent for the outdoors.
Bivys offer a second option of shelter for campers who want to be protected from bugs but still enjoy the view. The bivy's size is just right to cover your sleeping mat and bag.
Coleman Campfire Stove
If you're an aspiring camp cook, a stove is essential for making meals and cooking up your favorite snacks. Choose from a wide range of models to find a stove that suits your budget.
Thinksport Sunscreen
If you are spending all day in the sun, a sunscreen with UPF protection is an important piece of camping gear that will keep you safe from the harmful UV rays. It will also prevent you from getting a nasty sunburn or an insect bite.
Binoculars are a must-have piece of outdoor equipment. The use of binoculars allows you to see the surroundings better, resulting in a safer and more enjoyable camping trip.
