Wilcox 9-inch trowel — a narrow tool for pots and planters

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 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.

A pair of 5 lb plates lets you add 10 lb across the bar, giving you a smaller step than adding a pair of heavier plates. Four plates make two matching pairs available, so you can build up the load in stages. The grip openings and visible weight markings are useful when selecting and moving plates between the rack and the bar.
