Can you believe that the 4th of July is right around the corner? It seems like only yesterday we were donning puffer jackets and winter-ready boots, but here we are contending with heatwaves and laying poolside in our favorite boardshorts. If you, like us, were caught somewhat unawares by the changing seasons, you might be scrambling to give your gear and apparel a refresh. Well, we’ve got good news: the collection of the most popular products on Gear Patrol this June is chock-full of gear made to help get you out there enjoying the sun, surf, and clear blue skies.

From an NYC-based brand’s first foray into trail-ready apparel to a high-tech, athlete-focused recovery system, everything here just screams summer. And the best part of that prospect is that they’re all ripe for the plucking. So if something catches your eye, all you gotta do is click that purchase link and it can be yours. That way you can conquer summer in style, just the way you’re meant to.

Saturdays NYC is a longtime staple brand when it comes to men’s fashion. But it’s taken a step into the world of fitness and outdoor adventure with the All Terrain collection. These shorts might be our favorite piece with their stretchy nylon exterior, supportive mesh liner and more.

Our pick for the best overall soft cooler, RTIC’s aptly-named Soft Pack Cooler comes in a quartet of sizes ranging from 12 cans up to 40 cans (yes, that’s how many beer cans it can hold) and can keep all its contents ice-cold for days at a time. If there’s a better soft-sided beverage hauler out there, we’ve not yet come across it.

Sonos makes some of our favorite hi-fi home audio gear — like soundbars and smart speakers. And while they specialize in mostly stationary tech, the brand also makes this outstanding, compact, IP67 weatherproof travel speaker that’s perfect for summertime adventures.

You can lift all the weights and run all the miles you want, but if you don’t get in some recovery, your workouts are going to tank and you’ll hit a major plateau. Of course, you could also speed up your recovery with Hyperice’s Normatec 3 system, which uses dynamic air compression to speed up healing those sore muscles.

Many of us have returned to the office, perhaps begrudgingly. But you don’t have to sacrifice your comfort in the warmer months if you’re smart about your wardrobe. Take this blazer, for instance; it’s spectacular looking, even for meetings, yet its midweight linen construction also makes it breathable and light.

When it comes to commuting, a backpack is far more convenient and easy to haul than, say, a traditional briefcase. But you probably don’t want to be using a JanSport if you’re not in school anymore. That’s where the Shinola Runwell Backpack comes in. This pack is made from high-end leather, elevating it over other bags, while still offering the same convenience.

With looks that might have you thinking this is a limited-edition sneaker but availability that makes it super-accessible, Nike’s Waffle One is one of the best lifestyle shoes you can find right now. Better still, you can actually customize it to make it jive with your own personal style even more.

Leatherman knows tools like Huckberry knows style. Bring them together and you get this ultralight, reliable, durable, begging-to-be-used pocket knife. It has a 420HC stainless steel blade mated to a skeletonized handle that cuts the weight to just 1.3 ounces total. And it was made in the USA.

As our review states, this bike is perhaps the best sub-$2,000 adventure bike that you can buy. Seriously, just take a look at the long list of features — like speedy electronic shifting, SRAM Rival Hydraulic brakes, tubeless-capable wheelsets and more — and then explain to us how they managed to pack so much into such a money-saving package.

The days of the Walkman might seem like a distant ’80s fever dream, but they don’t have to be. If you still like the idea of a dedicated music player — there’s a certain serenity to a portable audio device that doesn’t double as a phone — then we suggest checking out this hi-fi, modernized take on everyone’s favorite tape player.
