Summer is here, and if you’re anything like us, that means summer camping is in full swing. We’re planning our next destination as we speak. And no matter where you’re headed, there’s always new gear to be tested. At last week’s Outdoor Retailer, there was no shortage of goods designed to revolutionize life off the grid. We saw everything from an uber-compactable water bottle to an ultralight-but-super-warm sleeping bag to a tiny but mighty $25 tent upgrade. Each of these items promises to make your hiking, climbing, cooking and sleeping adventures better, and we can’t wait to get our hands on them — even if some don’t drop till next spring.
