The Storm is a perfect example of how far headlamps have come. It’s moderately priced but pumps out 375 lumens from a proximity beam—ideal for working in close quarters or as a spotlight when you’re on the trail. We really like the battery meter, which shows how much juice you have left in your AAAs. Oh, and it’s fully waterproof.

The Singlefin is one of our favorite pairs of women’s sunglasses. “They’re nice and snug, so they stay put for hours on the trail or working out without slipping,” wrote our health editor. “They are ideal for running, but pass for casual shades just as well.”

Slim is Flowfold's calling card. Made from X-Pac—the same lightweight, waterproof material used in racing sails—the Outlier has a minimalist design with only four card pockets. The wallet itself is thin enough to be front-pocket friendly and weighs less than an ounce.
