The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

This summer I’m skipping the plastic water bottles when I’m on the go and always packing this Nalgene. It can carry 32 ounces of water, plenty to get me through a short hike or a workout and back home. The mouth is big enough that I can fill it with large ice cubes and I don’t have to worry about water getting everywhere when I try to fill it up. It’s free of those three letters, too: BPA. I recently took it on a cliff camping adventure, and the cap easily attached to clips on my portaledge so I never had to worry about it falling off. This is what an essential piece of gear looks like. — John Lonsdale, Deputy Digital Editor
