Wirecutter - Let's go out(side)

Petzl Actik Core Headlamp

Deal price: $53 | Street price: $70
With code FREE2DAY

A hands-free light source is a great tool to have handy for backpackers and evening walkers. Our rechargeable headlamp pick emits a brighter 450-lumen light and higher beam quality than the competition. It can charge via USB or AAA batteries, and will hold that charge for days—making it particularly ideal for outdoor adventurers when power is not readily available. This deal is available in both black and red.

Summit Mosquito Bits
(30 ounces)

Deal price: $11 | Street price: $15

When you’re relaxing outdoors, nothing kills the mood faster than a mosquito infestation. If your yard has standing water, like a birdbath or fountain, Summit’s Mosquito Bits will kill the mosquito larvae at the source. If you're truly concerned about the greater ecological impact, our bug killing expert told us the toxin involved in Summit is harmless to people, fish, and animals—so you can rid your space of pests guilt-free.

Tilley LTM6 Airflo Sun Hat

Deal price: $63 | Street price: $90
With REI membership

A hat is a vital tool to help protect your skin from the sun when you’re outside. The stylish Tilley is our recommended sun hat for leisurely activities like walking or golf. Attractive and well-fitted, this hat is made of nylon and spandex fabric that’s rated to UPF 50+. However, its structured semi-rigid build makes it less packable than our other picks. That said, the sun hat comes with a lifetime warranty and looks great as long as you don’t fold it or cram it into tight spaces.

Black Diamond Moji Lantern

Deal price: $15 | Street price: $20
With store pickup

The light on your phone is useful, but if you’re planning to spend longer periods of time outside at night, a dedicated outdoor light is a worthwhile purchase. This pocketable lantern is easy to use and lightweight—weighing around 4.3 ounces with the battery included)—making it a perfect travel companion for your next campout or evening picnic. It’s not quite as bright or durable as our other portable pick, but doesn’t require the extra work of inflating and deflating.

Nemo Stargaze Recliner Luxury Chair

Deal price: $165 | Street price: $220
With code FREE2DAY

Sit back and relax under the stars with our cozy camping chair pick. The Stargaze offers a unique seating experience that features a swinging seat suspended on an aluminum frame—settling somewhere between a hammock and a recliner. Despite its odd design, it’s very comfortable. Plus, the new model sits closer to the ground, addressing past complaints about the chair being better suited for taller individuals. This deal is available in Graphite/Smoke, Twilight/Smoke, and Plasma Fractus colors.
