After what feels like two straight years of winter (thanks, pandemic), the spring of 2022 is officially here. And while the weather is still chilly across large swaths of the Northern Hemisphere, we’ve also seen the mercury rise a bit — and it only promises to keep rising as we inch closer and closer to summertime. That means many of us have already started preparing to get back outside in some way, shape or form both big and small.

For some, that means picking out some patio furniture to help get our backyards back in shape for hosting company, especially in the form of sunny kickbacks and outdoor dinners (grilling season is very much upon us). For others, it means re-upping our camping and outdoor gear for wilderness adventures. And then, of course, there are some old standard classics, like new equipment for spring cleaning and fitness machines to help us get our bodies back in shape for the upcoming bathing suit season. Clearly, this March has been about renewal, reemergence and looking forward to the future. And these are the products that are helping us get there.

To call this an internet-breaking surprise unveiling would not really do this collaboration justice. Omega and Swatch, in a shocking turn, came together to release a series of quartz, bioceramic-cased “Moonswatches” that were both magnificently styled and remarkably budget-friendly. The problem? They were only sold in select stores and sold out almost immediately. If you’re impatient, you can find them secondhand for $1,000 or more — but we’re going to hold out because Swatch has said more are on the way.

Released for Pi Day (3/14), Solo Stove took its exceptional portable camp stove technology and applied it to a wood-fired device (which can be converted to gas, if you add a burner) made to craft those beautiful, bubbly, cheese- and sauce-covered Italian discs we all love so much. Equally perfect for backyard and campground usage, this exceptional pre-order was brilliantly timed and expertly executed.

Astute REI members discovered that many of Yeti’s ever-popular coolers were available during the retailer’s rare members-only sale, granting them the ability to get them for 20 percent off — an outstanding steal. The Roadie you see here was the star of the show with its smaller, more portable footprint paired with the ability to haul and keep cold as many as 18 cans of beer (give or take) with ice.

It’s also highly portable, maneuverable and can run on its battery power for 40 minutes straight without losing suction.

Made from Dyneema, a synthetic material that’s light enough to float on water but as much as 15x stronger than steel by weight, Hyperlite Mountain Gear’s G.O.A.T.
