1. Hydration Pack/Vest
At first glance, these small vessels of water seem unnecessary. Why would someone want to look and feel like a camel just to stay hydrated. Hydration packs are quite handy in making water accessible when biking, or engaging in an activity where carrying a water bottle isn’t practical when you need your hands. Water vests also have the ability to hold more water than what is in the average bottle because it allows for more space for water without being too bulky or awkward to carry.
2. Sports Fanny Pack
Whenever I go running or hiking, I don’t tend to bring backpacks along for the trip but I often regret it. Even when I have ten loose items, I hesitate bringing a backpack because it can be hard to adjust my straps when I’m running and it’s just too large to comfortably take on a rigorous event. A sporty fanny pack is awesome when you’re running out of space for small items in your hands but a large backpack is too much commitment.

3. Waterproof Pouch for Your Phone
This one is a lifesaver. I would have broken and damaged many more phones had I not found this holy grail product. With a waterproof pouch/dry bag for your phone, you can get the outside wet without worrying about sticking your phone in a bag of rice for a week. A benefit to this type of waterproof phone product is that you can still “touch” and navigate your phone’s screen through the bag.

4. Sunscreen Sticks
As the weather is heating up, so is the possibility of getting sunburned. Regular, liquid sunscreen can be unpleasantly liquidy, and take a while to dry before you can hop back into the water. Sunscreen sticks allow for the user to be protected from the sun while toting a compact, efficient way to protect your skin from UV light.

5. Collapsible Water Bottles
Silicone has prevented a lot of glassware from being broken because of it’s semi-easily malleable structure. The flexibility of the structure is also helpful in creating more room in travel bags because they can collapse down. This Spring and Summer are predicted to be more hot than usual in Washington, so prepare early and stay hydrated with this water bottle.
