High Energy Eats

Kate’s Real Food Snack Bites are made by bike racer/ skier/girl boss CEO Kate Schade with delish organic ingredients, sustainably made in the OT ed chief’s rural home state. Score the dark chocolate cherry and almond treats if you can. ($15, katesrealfood.com) Not Grandma’s Fanny Pack

It’s time to stop mocking belt bags and accept we love them, especially this wide and stylish Karl Lagerfeld Paris Amour nylon belt bag. ($98, karllagerfeldparis.com)

Walking on Rainbows

O to a Swank Resort?

Mix it up with airy suits, instead of traditional resort wear. London-based fashion brand COS has relaxed, comfortable essentials in muted but lux colors. The Tailored Blazer and Pants (shown here on filmmaker, writer, and activist Adesuwa Aighewi) class up dinner. (Prices vary, cosstores.com)

There are people who would never pay $800 for a cooler. The retro meets futuristic Yeti V Series Hard Cooler in stainless steel is not for them — but it is awesome. This Yeti combines two icons: the cold holding power of the brand’s drinkware (our editors have had ice stay frozen more than 48 hours in their steel tumblers) and the style of their iconic Tundra Cooler. Plus, you’ll never need another styrene-leaching Styrofoam cooler again. ($800, yeti.com) One Toke Over the Line

Tough AF Socks

Wear a pair of these Hiker Micro Crew Cushion Socks from Darn Tough on the trails and you might just go home and throw away your entire sock drawer (like our managing editor did)! The 61 percent Merino wool blend keeps your feet comfy and dry and eliminates that post-hike boot stank. The best part? Take them o and wash inside-out to prevent pilling.

Unbound Merino claims their T-shirt can go over 30 days without washing since Merino wool is naturally resistant to odors, sweat, and bacteria. The 100 percent wool V-neck is so (not scratchy), comfortable enough for a day sailing and hiking, but still stylish enough for dinner out. It’s light, and it definitely stayed fresh for a week of adventuring. ($75, unboundmerino.com)
