Open article

Show content
Memorial Day is here, meaning the seasonal sales are in full swing. If your plans over the long weekend involve pool parties or barbecues, now is a great time to pick up a portable speaker or set of solar lights, as many of our favorite models are currently on sale. You can also find deals on everything from 4K OLED TVs and noise-canceling earbuds to tents, laptops, and plenty of our favorite everyday essentials. To give you more options, we’ve also included a selection of deals from retailers that aren’t necessarily running their own Memorial Day sales but are still offering limited-time deals through the remainder of the holiday. Savings are savings, after all. Earbuds and headphones AirPods Pro 3 The AirPods Pro 3 have a new design that improves their fit, superior noise cancellation, better bass, and fairly accurate heart rate sensors. Read our review. Where to Buy: $249 $199 at Amazon $249 $199 at Walmart $249.99 $199.99 at Best Buy Nothing Headphone A Nothing’s second over-ear headphones may not offer everything found on the pricier Nothing Headphone 1, but you do get physical controls, good sound, and more than five days of battery life per charge.

They also offer helpful voice controls that let you adjust volume or playback without a wake word, while delivering excellent voice call quality. Read our review. If you’re an Apple user, there’s no better pair of starter buds than the open-style AirPods 4, which have fallen to a new low of $99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Walmart. The latest model sounds significantly better than the third-gen pair, particularly for voice calls. More importantly, they offer robust integration with the rest of the Apple ecosystem, letting you take advantage of audio sharing, automatic device switching, hands-free “Hey Siri” commands, Apple TV integration, and more. Read our review. Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 The OpenRun Pro 2 are Shokz’s best bone conduction headphones yet, with better sound and more bass than their predecessor.

They still deliver great sound quality and effective noise cancellation, even if the newer model has a slight edge. Read our review. CMF Buds Pro 2 The Buds Pro 2 offer a surprisingly robust set of features for the price, including ANC and a transparency mode that lets you tune into your surroundings. Their included charging case also features a smart dial that lets you adjust the volume, while multipoint Bluetooth support lets them connect to two devices simultaneously. Where to Buy: $69 $43 at Amazon $69 $43 at Nothing Sony WH-1000XM5 Despite being a last-gen model, these headphones still offer impressive sound quality and top-notch noise cancellation.

JBL’s new PushLock system also lets you easily swap in accessories, like the included wrist strap. Bose’s SoundLink Plus is down to $209 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Bose, which is its second-best price this year and $30 shy of its all-time low. In his review, The Verge’s John Higgins called it a “great beach speaker,” as it offers impressively loud sound for its size, up to 20 hours of battery life, and a durable IP67-rated design that can handle pool days. Read our review. JBL Charge 6 The Charge 6 is a robust, IP68-rated portable speaker with up to 28 hours of battery life and support for lossless audio over USB-C. Like the JBL Flip 7, it can also analyze your audio to deliver clearer, louder sound and reduce distortion at higher volumes.

If you don’t need all the features offered by Ecobee’s top-tier model, Ecobee’s Smart Thermostat Enhanced is on sale for $169.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and directly from Ecobee, which is one of its better prices so far this year.

The company’s most affordable thermostat covers the basics, letting you control your home’s temperature, create schedules in the app, and use Alexa, Apple Home, or Google Assistant. It also sends intruder alerts, but unlike Ecobee’s pricier models, it can’t automatically adjust temperatures based on activity in your home. If you want something even more capable, Ecovacs’ new Deebot X12 OmniCyclone is on sale for $1,249 ($250 off) at Amazon and directly from Ecovacs, matching its best price.

Here are our favorite last-minute deals from REI’s giant Anniversary Sale

Open article

Show content
REI’s annual Anniversary Sale — the retailer’s biggest of the year — is still going strong, letting you save on all kinds of outdoor essentials. If you’ve got a camping trip coming up, now is a good time to stock up on the basics, whether it be a tent, sleeping pad, or stove. If your summer plans involve hiking or heading into the backcountry, there are also savings to be had on everything from Garmin watches to water filters, some of which are also discounted at retailers like Amazon. The sale runs through the end of today, May 25th, and to save you time scrolling, we’ve rounded up the best deals you can still grab below. Additionally, as in previous years, REI members get 20 percent off one full-price item or one REI Outlet item with code ANNIV26, giving those who pay for a lifetime membership ($30) even more ways to save through the end of Memorial Day. Smartwatches and fitness trackers Garmin Fenix 8 The Garmin Fenix 8 is a premium multisport watch that features a speaker, mic, and on-device assistant for calls, timers, and voice commands. It also offers elite battery life, dual-frequency GPS, and robust sensors. Read our review. Where to Buy: $999.99 $749.99 at Amazon (43mm) $1099.99 $849.99 at Walmart (51mm) $1099.99 $849.99 at REI (47mm) Amazfit Active 2 The Amazfit Active 2 delivers outsized value for the price. It looks spiffy and has a wide array of health tracking features, plus built-in GPS and AI chatbots to provide extra context to your data. Read our review. Where to Buy: $99.99 $89.99 at Amazon $99.99 $89.99 at Best Buy $99.99 $84.99 at REI Garmin’s Venu 4 is geared toward the average athlete, and it’s on sale at REI, Amazon, and Best Buy in both size configurations for $499.99 ($50 off), matching its best price to date. The wearable offers many of the same health and fitness tracking features as its predecessor, the Venu 3S, including abnormal heart rate alerts, detailed sleep insights, audio-guided meditation sessions, and a wheelchair mode. It introduces new wellness features, though, including the ability to track caffeine and alcohol intake, as well as Garmin Coach, so you can tailor workouts based on your fitness history, sleep quality, and recovery. REI, Amazon, and Best Buy are also selling the Garmin Lily 2 Active for $249.99 ($50 off), which is its lowest price to date. The stylish smartwatch is a great budget-friendly Garmin, especially for people with smaller wrists. Like the standard Lily 2, it offers basic fitness tracking, notifications, and up to five days of battery life; however, the so-called “Active” model adds a physical button, built-in GPS, and support for more sports tracking. Read our Lily 2 review. If you want more accurate heart rate tracking than most smartwatches offer, Polar’s H10 is on sale at REI and Amazon for $94.49 ($10 off), which is one of its better prices in recent months. Unlike wrist-based trackers, the chest strap records your heart rate directly from your chest for more precise readings during workouts. The lightweight sensor also pairs with a wide range of fitness apps, smartwatches, gym equipment, and other devices via Bluetooth, and it’s water-resistant enough for swimming. Communication and safety gear Garmin inReach Mini 2 Garmin’s palm-sized inReach Mini 2 satellite communicator offers off-the-grid two-way messaging, built-in navigation capabilities, and powerful mapping features, including the ability to set waypoints when paired with Garmin’s Explore app. A subscription plan is required to access the Iridium network, though, with prices starting at $7.99 a month. Where to Buy: $399.99 $249.99 at Amazon $399.99 $249.99 at REI $399.99 $249.99 at Garmin Garmin InReach Mini 3 Plus The Mini 3 Plus is identical to the standard model in that it allows you to stay connected while off the grid; however, it also features an audible siren and the ability to send photos and voice messages, in addition to standard texts. Where to Buy: $499.99 $449.99 at Amazon $499.99 $449.99 at REI $499.99 $449.99 at Garmin Garmin’s base InReach Mini 3 is available from REI, Amazon, and Garmin for $399.99 ($100 off), its best price to date. Like the last-gen Mini 2, the rugged, palm-sized satellite communicator lets you send texts, share your location, check the weather, and trigger SOS alerts when you’re off the grid, all while offering battery life that can outlast your average smartphone. Unlike its predecessor, though, it features a color touchscreen, which makes it’s much easier to scroll through menus and bang out messages. Garmin’s InReach Messenger Plus is also on sale at REI, Amazon, and direct from Garmin for $299.99 ($100 off), its lowest prices to date. The subscription-based Plus model provides satellite connectivity and access to emergency services like the aforementioned InReach Mini 3, except it can also send photos and audio clips in addition to standard text messages. The Chapter MIPS Bike Helmet is on sale starting at around $112 ($41 off) at Amazon and REI, which nearly matches its best price to date. The lightweight helmet features a hidden PopLock for securing it with a U-lock or chain. It also features a sleek visor and a Micro-USB taillight with 30 lumens of brightness, one that will automatically turn on when magnetically attached to the helmet. Garmin’s Varia RTL515 Radar Taillight is on sale at REI and Amazon for $149.99 ($50 off), nearly matching its lowest price to date. The headlight combines a bright LED light with a rearview radar that, when paired with a compatible device, warns you of cars approaching from behind from up to 153 yards away. Portable Bluetooth speakers JBL Charge 6 The Charge 6 is a robust, IP68-rated portable speaker with up to 28 hours of battery life and support for lossless audio over USB-C. Like the JBL Flip 7, it can also analyze your audio to deliver clearer, louder sound and reduce distortion at higher volumes. Where to Buy: $199.95 $149.95 at Amazon $199.95 $149.95 at Best Buy $199.95 $159.99 at REI You can buy JBL’s Flip 7 speaker for $99.95 ($50 off) at REI, Amazon, and Best Buy, which matches its best price to date. The portable gadget features several upgrades over its predecessor, including a more rugged design, an enhanced tweeter, and an additional two hours of playtime. It also features JBL’s AI Sound Boost technology, which can boost the speaker’s volume without introducing distortion. An IP68 rating, meanwhile, means you can use it by the pool, while a PushLock system lets you attach interchangeable accessories like the included wrist strap. If you want an even smaller portable speaker, JBL’s Clip 5 is on sale for around $59 ($20 off) at REI, Amazon, and Best Buy, which is $10 shy of its all-time low. The Bluetooth speaker features an integrated carabiner that makes it easy to clip onto a backpack, bike, or beach bag, along with an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. It also offers up to 12 hours of battery life, so it should easily last you the day. Cooking equipment MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove The PocketRocket 2 is a single-burner canister stove that can boil water in as little as three and a half minutes. It’s lightweight, foldable, and compatible with most isobutane-propane fuel canisters, making it a great pick for backpackers looking to shed weight. Where to Buy: $59.95 $44.89 at REI LifeStraw Peak Series Straw LifeStraw’s redesigned Peak Series Straw features a durable, leakproof design that’s great for backcountry treks. It can remove unwanted viruses, bacteria, and microplastics as you drink — just like the base model — but benefits from an increased flow rate and more premium materials. Where to Buy: $24.95 $18.69 at Amazon $24.95 $18.69 at REI If you’re looking for a more convenient, all-in-one solution, the LifeStraw Go Series 1L is also on sale for an all-time low of around $32 ($13 off) at REI and Amazon. The BPA-free water bottle features a built-in two-stage filtration system, including a carbon filter that’s designed to reduce odors and improve taste, making it a solid pick for everything from travel to your daily commute. It’s not the most exciting thing in the world, but the GoBites Bio-Uno Long spork is on sale at REI in multiple colors for a cool $5.93 (about $3 off). The Verge’s Brandon Widder has used the sturdy, BPA-free utensil in the backcountry numerous times over the years, mainly because it’s relatively lightweight and saves you from having to pack more than one tool for devouring whatever freeze-dried concoction you opted for. JetBoil MiniMo Cooking System JetBoil’s cooking systems aren’t for ultra-light backpackers; however, the MiniMo is incredibly straightforward to use, comes with a 1-liter pot, and heats water in as little as two minutes, making it suitable for everything from freeze-dried meals to a well-deserved cup of cocoa. Where to Buy: $179.99 $107.93 at REI $179.99 $116.99 at JetBoil Coleman Cascade Classic Camp Stove Coleman’s go-to stove provides everything you need for simple, reliable camp cooking. It’s got enough power to handle most meals, as well as a pair of burners for cooking multiple things at once. It also features a matchless push-button igniter and built-in wind guards. Where to Buy: $130 $87.99 at Coleman $130 $97.49 at REI Coleman’s Cascade 3-in-1 Stove is on sale for around $204.99 ($70 off) at REI, Backcountry, and Coleman’s online storefront. It’s a better pick for campers who want to cook a little more than basic meals on a standard two-burner stove. In addition to two adjustable burners with wind guards and matchless ignition, it comes with interchangeable grill and griddle attachments, making it easier to cook things like eggs and burgers without packing extra gear. The BearVault BV500 Journey is on sale for around $79.89 ($20 off) from both REI and Campman. The hard-sided bear canister is designed to keep wildlife out of your food while offering 11.5 liters of storage, which is enough for about a week’s worth of meals and snacks. Despite its rugged build, it’s relatively lightweight, and the screw-top lid is designed to be secure without requiring complicated tools. As an added bonus, it also doubles as a makeshift camp stool. Shelter, sleep, and furniture Kelty Low Loveseat The Kelty Low Loveseat is a sturdy, low-profile camp chair built for two. It features a steel frame, a padded seat, and extra-large cup holders for your drinks or gear. It also includes a padded roll-tote storage bag, making it easy to transport when it’s folded down. Where to Buy: $149.95 $112.39 at REI $149.95 $112.39 at Backcountry Exped MegaMat Duo The MegaMat Duo is a four-inch, self-inflating mattress that’s become one of our favorites thanks to its extra-wide design. It uses a combination of open-cell polyurethane foam and generous padding for comfort, which helps keep you warm when temperatures dip. It also makes for a stellar air mattress for guests. Where to Buy: $399.95 $299.89 at REI (medium) $549.95 $412.39 at REI (queen) $449.95 $337.39 at REI (long wide) A small, compact chair is nice to have for lounging by the campfire, and REI’s Flexlite Camp Chair is a great option now that it’s down to $67.39 (about $22 off) in multiple colors at REI. It features an aluminum frame, a stable four-leg design, and a ripstop polyester seat with water and stain resistance. When you’re done, it can also quickly fold down into a drawstring bag, so you can throw it in your car or tent. You can get the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol starting at $37.39 (about $13 off) at REI right now. It’s a relatively lightweight, compact sleeping pad with an accordion-style design that lets you attach it to your backpack. The closed-cell foam also provides comfort after a long day of hiking, while the sleeping pad’s surface helps reflect radiant heat back to your body, so you can stay warm in the fall. Half Dome 2 Tent (with footprint) REI’s inexpensive, three-season tent is easy to set up and offers plenty of space for two people, with built-in pockets for stowing gear and large roll-up doors. It’s certainly not the lightest offering you can buy, but at this price, it’s an easy recommendation for first-time backpackers and anyone looking for a solid tent for car camping. Where to Buy: $329 $246.69 at REI Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket Rumpl’s classic lightweight blanket features synthetic insulation for warmth, a weather-resistant outer shell, and a stuff sack. It also comes in an array of attractive designs and pairs with Rumpl’s Cape Clip, so you can wear it hands-free. Where to Buy: $99.95 $74.89 at REI (one-person) $99.95 $74.96 at Rumpl (one-person) $199.95 $149.89 at REI (two-person) REI is currently selling its Magma 30 Sleeping Bag in a variety of sizes starting at $261.69 ($88 off). The bag uses 850-fill-power, water-resistant down for warmth and weighs under 20 ounces, depending on the size, making it a great budget pick if you’re looking to get into ultralight backpacking. It also includes a hood to help retain heat, extra room around the feet, and a terrific zipper design that’s less likely to snag when you’re crawling in or out. The Helinox Chair Zero LT, another ultra-packable chair, is available for $119.89 ($40 off) from REI and Backcountry. The scoop-style collapsible seat weighs just over a pound, and although it has a lower profile than your standard camping chair, its aluminum alloy frame is strong enough to support up to 265 pounds once assembled. The included stabilizer strap also means the Zero LT is less likely to sink into sand or dirt, which, we can attest, was a capital-T Thing with prior models. REI Siesta Hooded 20 Sleeping Bag The Siesta prioritizes comfort with a roomy rectangular shape that gives you space to stretch out.

It also supports passthrough charging, allowing you to charge your phone and the power bank simultaneously. Osprey’s Atmos AG 65 Pack is on sale in several colors and size configurations for around $276 ($93 off) at REI and Osprey’s online storefront, which is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen. The 65-liter pack — which remains a go-to option for The Verge’s own Brandon Widder — is loaded with all sorts of bells and whistles, including an integrated rain cover, a floating top lid, and plenty of compression straps. The hallmark, though, is the ventilation system, which leverages a 3D-suspended mesh for comfort and breathability, making it a great pick for multi-day trips. Cotopaxi Tech Bucket Hat Cotopaxi’s technical nylon hat — a pick from our upcoming Father’s Day gift guide — is pretty basic, but it features an adjustable cord chin strap and comes in an array of fun colors that are fit for the summer season.

Apple 13-inch MacBook Air (M5) Where to Buy: $1099 $899.99 at Amazon $1099 $949 at Best Buy Apple MacBook Air 15 (M5) Where to Buy: $1299 $1099.99 at Amazon $1299 $1149 at Best Buy Unless you need a laptop for intensive gaming or demanding workloads like 3D modeling, the M5 Air is the laptop we recommend to most people. Apple’s latest model is faster and better at handling everyday workloads than the new MacBook Neo, whether that means juggling dozens of tabs or tackling some light video editing. The 2026 iteration is an even better value than before, as it boasts double the base storage, allowing for more apps and files. Storage performance is also impressive, with read and write speeds that rival the M5 MacBook Pro, so transferring files and multitasking feel much faster. Apple’s mid-tier laptop excels in other ways, too. Its sharp, vibrant display makes everything from spreadsheets to Netflix shine, and it’s both slim and light enough that it’s easy to tote around in a backpack. It also lasts around 13 hours on a single charge — more than enough for a full day of use — while its 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam offers best-in-class performance. Sure, none of it is a huge step up from prior models, but given how good the MacBook Air has become in recent years, sometimes a few subtle refinements are all you need. Read our full 2026 MacBook Air review.

Why Nuro thinks being a robotaxi ‘second mover’ gives it an advantage

Open article

Show content
Waymo is the undisputed leader in the robotaxi space, operating a fleet of over 3,000 driverless cars in at least 10 cities across the US. A number of companies, including Tesla, Zoox, Avride, and Motional, are racing to catch up with the Alphabet-owned firm. But what if being No. 2 was actually better? Nuro, the delivery robot company created by veterans of Google's self-driving car project, thinks it has a decent shot at occupying the slot. After pivoting from delivery to robotaxis in 2024, Nuro struck a deal with Uber and Lucid to deploy tens of thousands of robotaxis all across the US - netting itself hundreds of millions of dollars in … Read the full story at The Verge.

Record Club is trying to be Letterboxd for music nerds

Open article

Yes, we have Rate Your Music, but its interface is crowded, and it feels more geared towards longer-form reviews than cataloging your listening habits and connecting with other fans. Record Club is clean and modern, with a streamlined interface that's quite similar to Letterboxd. The basic features you'd expect from such a site are all there. You can rate and review records or mark them as listened to. You can also see what your friends are listening to and see what albums are trending with other users.

The man behind the legendary MPC, Roger Linn, stays focused with a single browser tab

Open article

Show content
Roger Linn lets his accomplishments do the talking. | Image: Roger Linn Roger Linn is a legend in the world of musical instruments. He's been at the cutting edge of music technology for decades. He created the LM-1, the first drum machine to use samples, and its successor, the LinnDrum, is one of the most iconic drum machines of all time. They were used on countless records in the 1980s, including hits by Tom Petty, Queen, and Tears for Fears. But the most notable fan was probably Prince, who used them extensively on Purple Rain and 1999. Somehow, those are not his greatest contributions to the music world. That would, undoubtedly, be the MPC. Linn partnered with Akai to create one of the most popular and impor … Read the full story at The Verge.

Here are 38 Memorial Day deals we recommend for $50 or less

Open article

Show content
Massive OLED TVs and Sonos speakers might be stealing the Memorial Day spotlight, but there are also plenty of great deals that won’t set you back nearly as much. In fact, some of the best discounts we’re seeing are on gadgets that retail for $50 or less, from portable chargers and 4K streaming devices to cheap(ish) security cameras. There are even some solid deals available on outdoor gear if you plan to spend time camping, hiking, or otherwise enjoying the outdoors this summer. To help you separate the good from the bad, we’ve taken the liberty to comb through thousands of deals to find an assortment of discounted products that have earned The Verge stamp of approval, whether it be a portable Bluetooth speaker, a video game, or a water filter. If you’re not beholden to $50, be sure to check out our definitive roundup of the best Memorial Day deals, which we’ll update throughout the weekend. CMF Buds Pro 2 The Buds Pro 2 offer a surprisingly robust set of features for the price, including ANC and a transparency mode that lets you tune into your surroundings. Their included charging case also features a smart dial that lets you adjust the volume, while multipoint Bluetooth support lets them connect to two devices simultaneously. Where to Buy: $69 $43 at Amazon $69 $43 at Nothing Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus Amazon’s latest Fire TV Stick 4K features support for Wi-Fi 6, Dolby Atmos / Vision, and HDR10 Plus. It also runs on Fire TV’s updated OS, which offers personalized recommendations, quicker access to favorite apps, and Alexa Plus support. Where to Buy: $49.99 $29.99 at Amazon $49.99 $29.99 at Best Buy $49.99 $29.99 at Target If you want more speed and storage than the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus offers, the 4K Max is on sale for $39.99 ($20 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is $5 shy of its all-time low. It, too, runs on the new and improved Fire TV OS and supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 Plus, and Dolby Atmos. However, it offers faster performance, double the storage (16GB), and Wi-Fi 6E support. It also comes with a more capable remote, the Alexa Voice Remote Enhanced, which adds a button for live TV channel listings. Read our review. If you want a small portable speaker, JBL’s Clip 5 is on sale for around $59 ($20 off) at REI, Amazon, and Best Buy, which is $10 shy of its all-time low. The Bluetooth speaker features an integrated carabiner that makes it easy to clip onto a backpack, bike, or beach bag, along with an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. It also offers up to 12 hours of battery life per charge, so it should easily last you the day. Sony SRS-XB100 Sony’s adorable SRS-XB100 speaker offers USB-C charging, a built-in strap, and great sound for the price, rendering it a terrific travel speaker or home office companion.

Where to Buy: $59.99 $35.97 at Amazon (Nintendo Switch 2) $69.99 $19.93 at Walmart (PlayStation 5) $69.99 $19.99 at Best Buy You can buy the physical version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows for the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X at Best Buy and Target for $34.99 ($15 off). The open-world game follows a shinobi assassin and a powerful samurai caught in the midst of political unrest in feudal Japan. Its stealth mechanics are intuitive, and there’s a satisfying amount of action, too. Read our review. Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W) Anker’s jack-of-all-trades travel adapter packs enough ports to refill your devices during some downtime. It features one AC outlet, two USB-C ports (one tops out at 20W), and two USB-A ports. It’s not the fastest wall charger, but it’s a solid choice when you can find it at a discount. Where to Buy: $25.99 $19.99 at Amazon (black) $25.99 $19.99 at Amazon (white) $25.99 $19.99 at Anker (with code WS7DV2V9Q3TQ) Anker Nano Charger (45W, Smart Display, 180° Foldable) Anker’s latest single-port USB-C charger offers up to 45W of power, foldable prongs, and a front-facing “smart display” that lets you see the charge level, power flow, and other useful information at a glance. Where to Buy: $39.99 $27.99 at Amazon $39.99 $27.99 at Anker (with code WS7DV2UPQ7JH) If you need a reliable power bank, Anker’s Zolo Magnetic Power Bank (10,000mAh) is on sale for $39.99 ($10 off) at Amazon, which is $10 shy of its all-time low. The small battery pack can wirelessly charge iPhones at up to 7.5W, while the built-in USB-C cable delivers up to 30W fast charging for devices. It also doubles as an adjustable stand, making it handy for watching videos or keeping an eye on notifications while charging. If you own an older iPhone with a Lightning port, you can grab InfinityLab’s InstantGo 10,000 Power Bank for just $41.93 (about $28 off) at REI. The portable battery features a 10,000mAh capacity and a built-in Lightning cable, making it a solid all-in-one option for days when you won’t be near an outlet. It also supports passthrough charging, allowing you to charge your phone and the power bank simultaneously. Twelve South PowerBug Part wall wart, part magnetic wireless charger, the StandBy-ready PowerBug is about as unique as chargers come. The simple device can top off MagSafe and Qi2-compatible devices — including the latest Google Pixel models — while supplying 35W charging speeds to a second gadget via USB-C. Where to Buy: $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon (black) $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon (white) LifeStraw Peak Series Straw LifeStraw’s redesigned Peak Series Straw features a durable, leakproof design that’s great for backcountry treks. It can remove unwanted viruses, bacteria, and microplastics as you drink — just like the base model — but benefits from an increased flow rate and more premium materials. Where to Buy: $24.95 $18.69 at Amazon $24.95 $18.69 at REI If you’re looking for a more convenient, all-in-one solution, the LifeStraw Go Series 1L is also on sale for an all-time low of around $32 ($13 off) at REI and Amazon. The BPA-free water bottle features a built-in two-stage filtration system, including a carbon filter that’s designed to reduce odors and improve taste, making it a solid pick for everything from travel to your daily commute. It’s not the most exciting thing in the world, but the GoBites Bio-Uno Long spork is on sale at REI in multiple colors for a cool $5.93 (about $3 off). The Verge’s Brandon Widder has used the sturdy, BPA-free utensil in the backcountry numerous times over the years, mainly because it’s relatively lightweight and saves you from having to pack more than one tool for devouring whatever freeze-dried concoction you opted for. Black Diamond Spot 400 Headlamp Black Diamond’s 400-lumen headlamp offers adjustable brightness, a red night vision mode, and an IPX8 waterproof rating, so it can handle rainy nights. It’s also dual-fuel compatible, meaning you can use standard AAA batteries or use it in tandem with Black Diamond’s rechargeable BD 1500 Li-ion battery for added flexibility. Where to Buy: $49.95 $44.89 at Amazon $49.95 $44.96 at Black Diamond $49.95 $44.89 at REI Zippo HeatBank 6 Pro Rechargeable Hand Warmer Zippo’s rechargeable, IP57-rated hand warmer offers three heat settings and up to six hours of runtime. It can also serve as a 24-lumen flashlight or a 5,200 mAh power bank in a pinch, though, unlike most warmers, it’s only sold as a single unit. Where to Buy: $59.95 $34.93 at REI You can get the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol starting at $37.39 (about $13 off) at REI right now. It’s a relatively lightweight, compact sleeping pad with an accordion-style design that lets you attach it to your backpack. The closed-cell foam also provides comfort after a long day of hiking, while the sleeping pad’s surface helps reflect radiant heat back to your body, so you can stay warm in the fall. REI is selling GCI’s Freestyle Rocker Chair for $47.93 ($32 off). It’s a more comfortable alternative to your average camping chair, one that rocks and can handle both hard and soft ground. It also features padded armrests, a built-in beverage holder, and a foldable design, which makes it easy to throw in the back of your car before heading out the door. Cotopaxi Tech Bucket Hat Cotopaxi’s technical nylon hat — a pick from our upcoming Father’s Day gift guide — is pretty basic, but it features an adjustable cord chin strap and comes in an array of fun colors that are fit for the summer season. Where to Buy: $45 $33.69 at REI $45 $30 at Cotopaxi Mpowerd Luci Solar String Lights: Color Mpowerd’s solar-powered string lights are perfect for camping or a backyard shindig. The 18-foot string can display six colors and last up to 15 hours on a single charge; the case also doubles as a charger, allowing you to top off your phone in a pinch. Where to Buy: $54.95 $19.83 at REI The Nite Ize Radiant 314 — which is currently down to $25.73 (about $19 off) at REI — provides 314 lumens of brightness, an impact-resistant design, and an IPX4 rating for water resistance. The rechargeable lantern can also last up to 96 hours on a single charge, while the built-in power bank can provide an extra boost of power to your phone in a pinch. The Petzl Tikka is on sale at REI for $19.73 (about $15 off). The basic headlamp is a great option that features a max output of 350 lumens, tilt functionality, and an IPX4 rating, making it safe to use in light rain. It also features a lock function that prevents it from accidentally turning on when packed. Black Diamond Moji Plus Lantern The Moji Plus offers 200 lumens of warm, dimmable light and adjustable brightness, along with an IPX4 rating for water resistance. It also features a double-hook design and the same dual-fuel tech as the Spot 400 Headlamp, meaning you can use it with standard AAAs or Black Diamond’s rechargeable BD 1500 Li-ion battery. Where to Buy: $34.95 $26.19 at Amazon $34.95 $26.19 at REI $34.95 $26.21 at Black Diamond Tile (2024) The latest Tile can help you keep track of your personal belongings from up to 350 feet away, which is 100 feet more than its predecessor. The handy location tracker is also platform-agnostic and can send SOS alerts, though only if you pay for Life360’s Gold subscription ($14.99 a month). Where to Buy: $24.99 $19 at Amazon $24.99 $19.99 at Life360 BioLite’s Luci Charge 360 is available for $44.89 ($16 off) from Amazon, REI, and BioLite, which is a terrific price for the inflatable lantern. Its collapsible design makes it easy to pack, and it offers up to 360 lumens of adjustable brightness. The waterproof gadget also lasts for 50 hours on a single charge, and when it dies, it’s easy to recharge via solar power or USB-C. Plus, you can use it as a power bank, allowing you to top off your phone or other small devices when outlets aren’t nearby. Owala’s FreeSip Sway, a frequent recommendation in our gift guides and my personal water bottle, is on sale at Amazon and Target in several vibrant hues for $27.99 ($7 off), matching its lowest price to date. Personally, I consider the 30-ounce drinking vessel to be the best of both worlds, as it features a built-in straw and a wide-mouth spout for when you prefer a swig. It’s also tapered just enough at the bottom that it fits in your standard cupholder, which was my biggest gripe with prior models. Eve Energy Smart Plug Not only does this smart plug offer the most detailed energy monitoring of any we have ever tested but it also works with Matter-over-Thread and is an especially good choice for Apple Home users. Where to Buy: $39.95 $34.45 at Amazon $39.99 $34.99 at Best Buy $39.95 $34.45 at The Home Depot SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable SwitchBot’s latest button presser sticks onto existing buttons and rocker switches, letting you control coffee makers, lights, and other gadgets from your phone. Unlike the standard model, though, it charges via USB-C and can last up to six months per charge. Where to Buy: $33.99 $29.99 at Amazon (with on-page coupon) $33.99 $27.19 at SwitchBot (with code SUMMER20) You can pick up a four-pack of Govee’s Smart A19 LED Bulbs for $32.99 ($7 off) from Govee when you use promo code LB7H6008 at checkout, which is $9 shy of its all-time low. Govee’s color-changing smart bulbs offer 800 lumens of brightness and sync to the beat of music. The Wi-Fi-enabled bulbs are also compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so you can control them with your voice in addition to Govee’s mobile app. If you’re looking for an outdoor security cam, the battery-powered Blink Outdoor 4 is down to $43.99 ($36 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, its best price of the year. The 1080p camera improves on the prior model by adding person detection while retaining features such as motion detection, infrared night vision, and two-way audio. It also comes with Blink’s entry-level Sync Module Core, which, unlike the company’s other hubs, doesn’t offer local storage. Ring Indoor Cam (second-gen) The second-gen Ring Indoor Cam lets you keep an eye on your place in 1080p, with support for motion detection alerts, a live feed, and color night vision. Where to Buy: $49.99 $29.99 at Amazon $49.99 $29.99 at Best Buy $49.99 $29.99 at Target Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 The AirFly Pro 2 plugs into the auxiliary jack on most in-flight entertainment systems, allowing you to listen with two pairs of wireless earbuds or headphones at once. Where to Buy: $59.99 $49.99 at Amazon $59.99 $49.99 at Twelve South The Twelve South AirFly SE is also available for $29.74 ($5 off) from Amazon and Twelve South. Like the AirFly Pro 2, it lets you use your own wireless headphones with in-flight entertainment systems, but it supports only one pair of headphones instead of two, and it offers slightly shorter battery life. The Thermacell E90 Rechargeable Mosquito Repellent is down to $38.49 (about $17 off) at Amazon, which is the lowest price we’ve seen this year. The device’s 20-foot protection zone is probably one of the best solutions we’ve found for keeping unwanted bugs at bay, though we wish it came with more than one 12-hour cartridge and a charging dock like the E65 (also on sale at Amazon for $39.99). Still, you do get about nine hours of use per charge once topped off via a USB cable, which is plenty for surviving most summer evenings. MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove The PocketRocket 2 is a single-burner canister stove that can boil water in as little as three and a half minutes. It’s lightweight, foldable, and compatible with most isobutane-propane fuel canisters, making it a great pick for backpackers looking to shed weight. Where to Buy: $59.95 $44.89 at REI Borderlands 4 Borderlands 4 is an amusing looter-shooter that supports solo play or up to four-player co-op. Players take on the role of one of four Vault Hunters searching for mythical vaults while trying to take on the planet’s immoral dictator. It’s full of great characters and has the mindlessly fun vibe of a dumb action movie. Read our review. Where to Buy: $69.99 $35 at Amazon (PlayStation 5) $69.99 $35 at Best Buy (PlayStation 5) $69.99 $29 at Amazon (Xbox Series X)
