It doesn’t matter if you’re having a backyard get-together, spending the day at a beach, or hiking your favorite trail—the Wirecutter Deals team has you covered. We’ve collected seven deals to help you make the most of your time outdoors while the warm weather continues to heat up. From sunscreen and a rechargeable mosquito repeller to collapsible wagons and a wearable sleeping bag, it’s not too late to grab some gear—on sale—dedicated to pure summer fun.
Buzz off, mosquitos: Thermacell E55 Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller
Mosquito bites can take a fun outdoor event and quickly turn it into a living nightmare. To keep mosquitoes away from your deck or patio without needing to douse yourself in repellant, we recommend the Thermacell E55. Effective and easy to use, the simple interface and rechargeable lithium-ion battery make the Thermacell much more convenient than butane-cartridge options. With 12- and 40-hour cartridge options, we found that it’s nearly as good at stopping mosquitoes as a full application of spray repellent. Though it loses efficacy in windy conditions, and the coverage area is limited, this model covers a larger area than our previous pick.
Stay safe outdoors: Emergency Weather Radio
If you live in an area prone to extreme weather, a reliable emergency radio is a critical tool to have handy. Our runner-up pick, the Midland ER210 is essentially a smaller, sleeker version of our top pick. This hand-crank radio has all the same features as the ER310—including weather-band radio reception, NOAA weather alerts, a bright flashlight, a headphone jack, and multiple charging options—but it’s about two-thirds of the size and has a smaller battery, something to note since you have to do the cranking.
The key to a good hike: Merrell Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots
Merrell Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots aren’t quite as durable or comfortable as some of our other picks, but they’re a no-frills, trustworthy option for hikers on a budget. We find them to be a good fit in all the ways that count: They’re waterproof (for a limited time), they provide decent ankle support, they offer an easy-to-use lacing system, and they’re pretty breathable. These are a great pair of boots if you take occasional, shorter hikes or if you have wider feet. Read More...
