Osprey Stratos 24 — trail essentials with room for your back to breathe

Wet trails and playgrounds call for footwear that can handle damp ground and still feel comfortable to walk in. KEEN builds this Hightrail model with cushioning, a waterproof membrane and a grippy outsole. The value depends entirely on fit: check the size chart and the exact colour and size on Amazon before ordering.

A key clip and internal mesh pocket give small items a home instead of letting them collect at the bottom. Separate front and rear zipped pockets make it easier to divide frequently used items from the rest. The pack folds into its own pocket, so you can keep it inside a larger travel bag and bring it out for shorter outings.

A power station earns its place when you know what you need it to run. The 1,024 Wh battery and 2,000 W AC output give you concrete numbers to compare against devices you want to bring camping or keep powered during an outage. Its fast-charging capability is another useful consideration when getting ready for the next trip or keeping it on standby.
