I tried out a sample of the Clifton 9 shoes and mainly used them for casual activities like walking to and from the train to get to work and walking around the park. These shoes have a great amount of cushioning on the bottoms and my feet felt incredibly comfortable for hours. They also provided excellent support for my medium-arch feet.

The soles also have strong traction, so I didn't have to worry about slipping on uneven ground. 4.2-star rating from 326 reviews at REI Lifestraw sells a popular portable filter that lets you safely drink water from outdoor water sources without consuming potentially harmful bacteria, like and chemicals like chlorine and pesticides, according to the brand.

It has up to 28 days worth of battery life and it's thermal, shock and water resistant, up to 100 meters. 4.6-star rating from 236 reviews at REI The Teva Original Universal sandals have a simple but extremely functional design. The sandals have adjustable straps, foam midsoles, arch support and the top material dries fast, so you can wear them in different types of environments. 4.4-star rating from 461 reviews at REI The Saucony Tempus road-running shoes, which are made of a mixture of EVA foam and recycled polyester, have medium cushioning on the bottoms and the tops are made of breathable mesh to help keep your feet cool and dry as you run. The top of the midsoles also have extra support to keep your feet stable and comfortable as they hit the ground with each stride. 4.4-star rating from 60 reviews at REI This protective sun hat has a UPF 40 rating, which means that it blocks around 98% of harmful ultraviolet rays that cause skin damage and sunburns.

There are two side pockets as well as a back pocket and the shorts have a five-inch inseam. 4.7-star rating from 115 reviews at REI Polarized glasses help protect your eyes from sunlight but they also make it much easier to see on those super bright days. Each of the lenses are made of polarized glass, which enhances your eyesight and helps you see more clearly by reducing glare, according to the brand. The lenses also have a smudge-resistant coating and non-slip pads on the nose bridge to prevent them from sliding off your face. 4.5-star rating from 90 reviews at REI These Adidas running shoes have maximum cushioning on the soles, providing extra comfort and support as your feet hit the ground.

It's made of a flexible polyester and spandex material that makes it great to wear as the base layer during hikes or for outdoors. The sleeves also have thumb loops to keep your hands warm and flat seams for more comfortable wear, according to the brand. 4.3-star rating from 7,795 review at REI The super popular Stanley tumbler is popular for a reason — it keeps drinks ice cold for hours, up to 12 or more in my experience. The Quencher has a comfortable rounded handle and a sturdy straw that doesn't get warped over time. The bottom also makes it easy to fit in the cup holder of a car, treadmill or backpack. Plus, it's available in tons of styles so you can find one that fits your preferences. Why trust NBC Select?
