The TikTok-famous Stanley tumbler is overhyped

Elissa Sanci

The mega-popular, mega-size Stanley Adventure Quencher Travel Tumbler is a drinking vessel so social-media-famous that it has its own TikTok hashtag. #StanleyTumbler has amassed more than 14.5 million views on the platform so far.

We tested the 40-ounce insulated tumbler to see how it measured up against our top picks. The verdict? The Adventure Quencher is good! But it’s also massively overhyped, and we think there are a number of other options that will work just as well, if not better.

Not everyone needs a pair of rain pants. But if you hike in colder climates, if you’re often caught in heavy rainstorms, or if you’ll be trekking through wet, brushy areas, rain pants are a must to keep you warm and dry.

Serious outdoor enthusiasts should consider our new upgrade pick, the Arc’Teryx Beta rain pants (available in men’s and women’s sizes). They’re expensive, but they’re tough enough to keep you dry during mountaineering adventures or in heavy rain, snow, or sleet. The pants are constructed with a breathable, durable fabric that doesn’t just make water bead off—it repels water with force.
