Fall is officially here, and its arrival marks the return of some of our favorite activities! As temperatures begin to cool down across the country, outdoor events are ramping up. Be prepared for whatever fall festivities may come your way with these great accessories for your autumn adventures.
Apple/Pumpkin Picking
Who doesn’t love going to an orchard or a pumpkin patch in the fall?! Crisp air, warm drinks, and crunchy leaves underfoot are the epitome of fall. And we’re ready for all of it! We have some really great gear to help you get the most out of your day picking apples or choosing this year’s Halloween pumpkin.
An afternoon excursion necessitates some supplies, and the best way to keep them organized and easily accessible is in the Stride Cinch backpack by Vooray. This spacious bag has adjustable mesh shoulder straps to keep your hands free, and it also features a front zipper pocket to keep your phone and keys handy.
Now that you’ve got your bag situation sorted out, let’s fill it up! The Corkcicle 25-ounce canteen is perfect for any beverage you want to bring along. It can keep enough PSL or apple cider for you and your friends hot for up to 12 hours. If you’re bringing a cold beverage like iced tea or wine along, it’ll stay cold for a whopping 25 hours! It’s available in a great selection of classic and premium colors to boot.
When it comes time to enjoy your beverage of choice, don’t forget drinkware! These stemless wine glasses from Corkcicle come with lids to avoid messes, and you can get them in classic or premium colors to match your canteen! The glasses are triple insulated to keep hot drinks hot for three hours and cold drinks cold for nine.
Are you feeling extra fancy this fall? Corkcicle also offers insulated champagne flutes that are perfect for champagne, sparkling cider, or even mimosas. They're also available in classic and premium colors to match your canteen, and they fit perfectly in most bags. Cheers!
Don't let a bulky picnic blanket take up precious space in your bag; with the Matador Pocket Blanket 2.0, you can have a clean, dry place to sit anywhere you go! This ultra-lightweight nylon blanket is water and puncture resistant, and it even has a handy folding guide right on the blanket so you can always get it back into its carrying case.
When you’re fueled up and ready to hit the orchard or pumpkin patch, make sure your feet are prepared to make the trek. The Encore Kassie Tall Wool boots by Merrell are the perfect combination of warmth and comfort. They’re great for chillier days and they’ll give you the cushion and support you need to haul your fall bounty from the field to your car. Plus, they pair well with jeans or leggings!
Camping
Early-fall camping trips are a special treat; the heat and humidity of summer have begun to subside and you’re left with stunning vistas full of fall colors and weather that’s cool enough to give you a renewed appreciation for snuggling up next to a campfire. Here are some awesome options to help you enjoy your time in the great outdoors.
Outside of your tent and sleeping bag, a cooler is arguably the most critical piece of camping gear out there. The Soft Cooler Pack from Hydro Flask’s Unbound Series is a real workhorse of a cooler. It features smart insulation that can keep your food and beverages cold for 48 hours, making it the perfect companion for folks who don’t set up camp next to an ice machine. Padded straps make this cooler ideal for hands-free carrying as you search for the perfect campsite.
Whether it’s your morning cup of coffee by the campfire or staying hydrated while you explore your surroundings, this insulated Corkcicle tumbler is perfect for all your camping beverage needs—hot or cold! This tumbler is triple insulated, it comes with its own lid to prevent spills, and it’ll keep hot drinks hot for three hours and cold drinks cold for nine. It's even available in premium and classic colors. Why mess with mugs and water bottles when this tumbler does it all?
Just because you're "roughing it" doesn't mean you can't take your favorite tunes or podcasts with you. The ultra-portable JBL Clip 3 speaker features Bluetooth connectivity and it's waterproof! Clip it to your tent, your backpack, or even your belt loop to create a camping soundtrack all your own.
Fall camping can come with some footwear challenges, as it’s typically a bit too brisk for slipping on some flip-flops every time you need to leave the tent. That’s where the Ember Moc from Teva comes in! With a collapsible heel, this shoe can be worn as a backless slipper or as a moccasin. Additionally, it’s quilted ripstop upper mimics a sleeping bag, making it a cozy, comfortable place for your feet.
Packing light is crucial when camping, so you’ll want to have a jacket that can do it all. That’s where the adidas Terrex Wandertag jacket comes in. It’s lightweight, breathable, and waterproof so it’ll get you through just about anything Mother Nature throws at you during your expedition.
If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, the Garmin fenix 5S Plus Sapphire has some incredibly useful features for you including full-color maps with Galileo GPS support as well as altitude detection. The watch also has a compass and a variety of outdoor activity settings so you can log all those firewood-gathering hikes.
Tailgating
Few things rival a good tailgate on a sunny fall day. If you plan on hitting up an outdoor game-day celebration, make sure you have what you need to enjoy yourself comfortably. Here are a few great ways you can tackle your next tailgate like a pro.
First things first, any successful tailgate will feature a smorgasbord of tasty food and beverage options. Keep your goodies cold for up to 48 hours in the Soft Cooler Tote from Hydro Flask’s Unbound Series! The hinged top offers easy access to its contents, and the lining is BPA free.
If you somehow managed to fill the cooler’s 24-liter capacity with burgers and potato salad, have no fear: The Hydro Flask growler will keep your favorite brew cold for up to 24 hours—no ice required! Utilizing Hydro Flask’s famous double-wall vacuum insulation, this easy-to-transport growler was practically made for tailgating.
Need a way to serve that beer and keep it nice and cold? Check out these Hydro Flask double-walled pint glasses; they ensure that your beer stays chilled from the first swig to the last. Plus, opting for reusable cups instead of those red plastic ones is better for the environment—and it leaves you with less trash to clean up when it’s time to watch the game.
If your beverage of choice comes in a can or bottle, we have you covered there too. The Corkcicle Arctican koozie is perfect for tailgating. With a removable base you can freeze for even frostier drinks, this double-walled koozie keeps drinks cold for up to three hours without transferring that chill to your hands. Plus, it fits most standard 12-ounce cans and bottles!
Being outside all afternoon can get a little chilly, especially as football season progresses. Stay warm in this adidas Z.N.E. hoody, which features thumbholes for extra hand coverage so you can keep your hands warm while holding your beverage or playing your favorite tailgate games. This gray hoody is perfect for layering under your favorite jersey too.
Speaking of keeping warm: Keep your feet toasty and comfortable in Hoka One One Hupana wool shoes! These shoes offer plenty of cushioning to help you be comfortable on your feet all day, while the wool upper offers excellent warmth during those cooler days.
