Women's Brooks Ghost 14 running shoe
Recommended by my mom and my daughters’ nanny, both extremely active women in their late 60s, Brooks’ Ghost shoe is a popular choice among runners and walkers alike. The lined interior promises to be super-soft, and the shoe’s sole is designed with proprietary responsive foam that absorbs shock at every step. They’ve even earned a seal of acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association. You can also shop all Brooks styles on sale.

Women's Adidas Ultraboost Light sneakers
The lightweight version of Adidas’ beloved Ultraboost sneaker is equipped with a bouncy featherweight midsole that reviewers say feel springier than their predecessors. Reviewers also say that the knit uppers “hug” the feet, offering insulation for running in cooler temperatures. The classic Ultraboosts are marked down, too. Shop all Adidas running sneakers on sale.

Men's New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v12 sneaker
This highly-rated running shoe boasts a dual-layer midsole and a foam compound to create areas of targeted support for neutral-footed joggers. There's a padded ankle collar and removable insole for added comfort. Shop all the New Balance sneakers on sale.

Men's Hoka Clifton 8 sneakers
The previous generation of the cloud-like sneakers that senior shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe swears by, Hoka’s Clifton 8, offers cushioning and support in nearly every inch of its bestselling shoe.

The breathable mesh upper and treaded outsole means your feet will be ready for any terrain you encounter. (These are a popular style and sizing is beginning to dwindle, so we'd also suggest checking out the highly-rated women’s Stinson and men’s Gaviota silhouettes for more options. You can also shop all Hoka sneakers on sale.)

I can fit a 15-inch skillet and my Dutch oven, or the skillet and a griddle for cooking breakfast. It folds easy for packing and has held up through multiple uses now." —Carl Shipley

A puffy Rumpl indoor/outdoor blanket to keep you warm and cozy all through the night — whether you grab it for some time around the bonfire or add it to your sleep setup. Its smooth surface is water- and dirt-resistant, so there are no worries about exposing it to the elements. It's 4.8-star overall rating backs me up here.(06 of27)

The Rumpl blanket is also machine-washable and dryer-safe!

Promising review: "We took this king-size blanket with us on our camping trip to New Zealand. At first I thought it might have been too overkill since it took up a lot of space in my luggage and a duvet was included in our camper van rental. But we ended up using this every night, enjoying the warmth and breathable comfort even on fairly warm evenings. It was definitely large enough for two even with tossing and turning, we both had enough Rumpl to sleep well throughout the night. Great purchase, totally worth it." —becca606

A Helinox ultralight chair that weighs just over a pound, packs down super small, and is perfect for any outdoorsy person who hates to forgo comfort.(07 of27)
Open Image Modal

I have this chair and it's great! It really is light, 1.2 pounds, and easy to put together. It's a perfect outdoor luxury item, especially for anyone taking a long day hike where they want to picnic or for a car camper who doesn't feel the need for a big, traditional camp chair.

Promising review: "Was very hesitant about spending over $100 on a camping chair, but I have to admit this chair is worth the money and the added weight, which is minimal. There were picnic tables at most the campgrounds on the trail, however being able to lean back and stretch my feet out after the long days of hiking was an added luxury. The chair strapped easily to the outside straps of my pack, never got in the way and often forgot it was back there. All in all satisfied with the purchase and will be bringing on all my backpacking adventures now." —Abby

A Sea to Summit roll-top dry sack...or two...or five, because knowing your important gear is safe from water is a HUGE weight off your shoulders, and the uses for these bad boys are pretty much limitless. It can be hard to know if gear is really waterproof, but a 4.7-star overall rating from over 1,700 people and my own personal stamp of approval should suffice.(09 of27)

Promising review: "Used inside a backpack on a seven-day whitewater canoe trip. It kept my gear dry through rapids and two days of rain. Recommend it to go inside another bag to organize and keep gear dry as it isn't durable enough on its own. No issues on the trip where it did see some abuse." —Ryan Mantz

A Goal Zero Flip 24 Power Bank so you can charge your devices, no problem.

It's also small, durable, and easy to clean, so bringing it to the ends of the Earth with you is a no-brainer, especially when a hot bevy in the morning is considered essential.(12 of27)

The set comes with the chamber, plunger, seal, filter cap, funnel, filter holder, scoop, and stirrer. Here's a super informative video on how to use the Aeropress (while camping, even!) made by the coffee smarties at Stumptown.

Promising review: "This might make some of the best, fastest coffee I have ever had. I visited my cousin in Alaska and she used one EVERY day for her coffee. I forgot completely about it until it was time to take this camping trip, and I randomly found it on Amazon while searching for camping kettles — I am so glad I did. It is super compact, durable, and easy to use. You can have a real quick cup in 30 seconds, or you can wait a couple of minutes and let the flavors meld, the choice is yours." —Gordon Leonard

The set includes the pour-over, a reusable metal filter, and a matching mug.

Promising review: "I make coffee in this at home or camping. Easy to wash. Keeps the liquid hot for a long time. I’d recommend 100%. I’d give as a gift for a camping friend who loves that hot cup in the morning but doesn’t want to make a full pot. 10/10." —sandawarrior

Promising review: "I purchased two of these and will probably get at least two more. Love how slim these are when they are folded up. We took these camping, they folded up slim enough to hang from a hook in our camper. They were great when we got back from canoeing to realize it had rained all over everything for hours, these chairs dried super quickly, everyone else we were with had wet chairs for the remainder of the trip." –shawnajab

We never thought about how much easier it would be on our tent camping trips to be able to easily see into the cooler after dark! This was a game changer for us! It works exactly as described. It comes on when opened and goes off when closed — just like your fridge!" —Suzyzzle

A cot and air mattress that over 11,000 people have given a five-star rating if sleeping on the hard ground is a hard no from you. Sleeping under the stars is rad, but sleeping in a BED under the stars? Unbeatable.(22 of27)
Open Image Modal

Promising review: "This is the most AMAZING camping bed I've ever used, and I've camped my entire life. Not only is it up off of the ground, so my 36-year-old disabled ass doesn't have to cry every time I get in and out of my sleeping bag, my suitcase FITS UNDERNEATH THE BED. Then, there's the cot itself. Mmm...comfy. There's an included air mattress! But won't that just fall off of the cot? That's where the genius of Coleman comes in, kids. They added a pocket made out of super soft microfiber material that feels like your favorite grand-mammy's sheets and zippers open to slide the PREMIUM COLEMAN AIR MATTRESS WITH DOUBLE AIRLOCK MAGICALNESS inside and then you ZIPPER IT SHUT AGAIN. But wait. There's more. HOW CAN THERE POSSIBLY BE MORE?! YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN US SO MUCH, COLEMAN! Mother-loving side tables, Batman. They snap on right where you want them. With holes for all of your beverage-holding needs. And just enough room for a Kindle, a phone, and an adult beverage." —dammit Liesl

Promising review: "You are camping and backpacking in the forest for weeks. You and your campmates have nothing left to say. To save your smartphone battery, you don't dare turn it on. You're on your last milliliter of whiskey. What's a person to do. Play cards of course! These cards worked amazingly well on my backpack/camping trip. These also do well as temporary coasters or when you need to keep something off the dirt. After a couple of days of rain and humid evenings, one expects a simple set of cards to perform and these did indeed." —paititi

The lantern requires four D batteries, but is also available in a rechargeable version!

Promising review: "A convenient alternative to the old Coleman camping lanterns that used a fabric mantle and burned gasoline fuel. Hangs easily on a loop in a tent or on a stretched line. Provides plenty of light. Well-suited for camping and other outdoor uses, but too large for backpacking." —D E Conner
