Whether you’re looking forward to fall or savoring the last few days at the pool, cooler weather is on its way. But that doesn’t mean that you have to start spending all your time inside — in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Early fall is a great time to take advantage of the lower temps, whether that means buying the patio seating setup of your dreams or investing in a new pair of gym shoes that will carry you into indoor workouts.

For those making the return to the office (or those who never left), we’ve got recommendations for the best performance dress pants, a commuter-friendly jacket, a solid everyday backpack and more. From one of the best weed vapes (tested and approved) to an accessory that will help you track your furry friend, here’s a recap of all the products that caught our eye this month.

We named the XVape Starry the best portable and affordable weed vape you can buy. Coming in at under $100, it’s one of the best conduction vapes and is compatible with both dry herb and concentrate. It’s discreet, has an automatic shutdown timer and comes with a removable, rechargeable battery.

Whether hiking or toting around camera gear, there are backpacks for almost every occasion, but a good everyday backpack is hard to find.
