With actual summer weather blessing much of the country by this point, you have to be sure you have the gear you need in order to enjoy your days on the water to the fullest as our minds turn to boats, boards, and anything that gets us in or on the water. We picked out a few of our current favorites…
Sea to Summit Hydraulic Dry Pack
Whether you’re an active kayaker, love canoeing, canyoneering, or simply enjoy a good remote riverside hangout, you need this Sea to Summit Hydraulic Dry Pack. We all love and need a good dry bag, but this piece of equipment goes above and beyond. The removable backpack straps are highly durable and deliver comfort even when carrying a heavy load. The straps are also compatible with other Sea to Summit dry bags. Lightweight and made of 600D TPU laminated waterproof fabric with a 35L to 120L carrying capacity, this pack is ready for any adventure. MSRP: $169.95 – $269.95
Sea to Summit Lightweight Dry Sack
Available in sizes from 1L – 35L these are some of the best dry bags on the market. From your cell phone to all of your warm layers, you can keep everything you need on the water, out of the water, and highly organized. Lightweight 70D Nylon with fully taped seams, the interior coating is white to improve visibility when trying to find items inside. These bags are great for any adventure you’ve got planned…paddling the Snake, a day out on the boat with friends, or even just a day of paddle boarding on the pond. Whether you need to replace some old dry bags, or something for new adventures this summer, add some Lightweight Dry Sacks to your quiver. MRSP: $14.95 – $29.95

The BioLite HeadLamp 200 is one of our favorites and is perfect for exactly that. Compact, lightweight, water-resistant, easy to recharge with any USB port, it provides 200 lumens of light.
