Strangely, this toiletry organizer is one of the coolest pieces of outdoor gear I’ve encountered in a while. On camping trips and traveling with my family, personal hygiene items always seem to migrate from whatever bags they started out in to some bizarre locations throughout our van and camp. I’m hoping this organizer helps us keep our bathroom items more contained and organized. The water-resistant Ultra-Sil fabric bag unzips and hangs up with a hook, where you can access two zipped mesh pockets, a third open mesh pocket, and a larger storage space at the bottom that also has a small flip-out mirror. There’s another zippered pocket on the back. It’s available in small and large sizes. MSRP: $44.95-$49.95. Seatosummit.com

If you’re looking for a waterproof footwear alternative to hiking boots for your daily spring outings around town, the new ATOM waterproof shoe is worth a look. It’s got the style and feel of a sneaker with solid cushion and support, but won’t leave you with soggy, frozen feet after splashing through parking lots or down rainy streets or sidewalks. A great choice as a work shoe for jobs that include time outdoors, as well as for neighborhood walks, foot-powered errands, or as a workout shoe. MSRP: $180. Kurufootwear.com

The thing I love most about these tents is the comfort built into the design, from plenty of headroom to its side-opening with roomy vestibule for inclement weather cooking or comfortable lounging in bed with a coffee while watching the sun rise. Even lighter than before, the mesh and solid fabric construction provides protection from the weather and privacy with all the venting you could hope for from a tent. While my first Hubba Hubba existed in the era before ubiquitous smartphones, today’s tent sports tech-friendly pockets with cable ports at the corners and a spacious overhead gear loft. Rumor has it MSR has a Hubba Hubba bikepacking tent now too! MSRP: $549.95. Msrgear.com

Sets of three are available in 3L, 5L, 8L or 5L, 8L, 13L and are color-coded by size. The tear-proof drawcord throat with two hypalon pull-tabs make them easy to open and close, but also super strong. MSRP: $39.95-44.95. Seatosummit.com
