Invented shortly after the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, the LuminAid solar inflatable light is the go-to tool that can provide a bright LED light up to 16 hours with just a single charge. It’s the perfect tool for an adventure in the mountains or somewhere far remote where you’ll need to light up in the evening.

Camelbak All Clear

Hull & Stern Dry Bags

It’s a complete nightmare when your phone gets wet during a getaway, but this can easily be prevented by using a waterproof bag like the HULL & STERN Adventure Dry Bag which will protect your essentials from liquid to dust. It also floats on water and it doesn’t take much space because of its fold-ability.

The Yakap Duyan is the hammock that reflects the Filipino culture by employing traditional weaving practices. It’s an indoor hammock that can withstand as much as 250 lbs that is ideal for a getaway adventure in a forest or a surf camp.
