Summer is the time to reconnect with the natural world. For some of us, that\u2019s three months free-climbing in the Rockies. For some, summer is festival season, while for others it\u2019s time for family holidays, camping trips and barbecues. Even the least outdoorsy of us are\u00a0probably going to the beach, or driving with the windows down. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s time to ditch our gadgets. No, it\u2019s just time to get new gadgets. Which new tech toys can\u2019t you face summer without?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"speaker<\/a>1: Mighty Speaker<\/p>\n

$35, Morrison Innovations<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019re out on the beach, the sun\u2019s out, the ocean is beautiful – what\u2019s missing from this picture? Music, of course! There are any number of Bluetooth speakers around these days, but the majority of them aren\u2019t up to the rigor of a trip to the great outdoors. The Mighty Speaker is. It\u2019s made to be waterproof (and sandproof), and even has a mic and phone button so you can take handsfree calls on the beach. What if it falls in the water? Have no fear: it floats too.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"tent<\/a>2: Lighstpeed Quick Shelter<\/p>\n

$78, Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Summer is the time of sunshine, soft breezes – and sudden, freezing-cold rain. Even if it stays clear all day, you might not want to lie out in it for every second. Take some shelter! This Lightspeed Quick shelter can be put up in minutes and it\u2019s more like a tent than a traditional sun shelter – it has zipping porch-flaps, for instance, allowing some privacy,and it\u2019s vented for wind resistance as well.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"iswim<\/a>3: iSwimband<\/p>\n

$60, Aquatic Safety Concepts<\/a><\/p>\n

iSwimband was designed by parents after the classmate of one of their children tragically drowned. Yes, that is the worst beginning to a sales pitch ever, but it doesn\u2019t matter because the product is amazing. It alerts parents or other guardians when the person wearing it has been underwater too long, or when a designated non-swimmer goes into the water. It can strap to goggles or a wristband and syncs with smartphones so you\u2019ll always know your kids are safe.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"air<\/a>4: Cool On The Go Personal Cooling System<\/p>\n

$30, Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n

This cooling system hangs around the neck, meaning it provides a constant flow of cooling air toward the wearer\u2019s face. Amazon customer reviews indicate that this is a hit, albeit an unlikely one. It can be powered by USB or AA batteries, so if you really can\u2019t stand the heat, this one might be for you.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"coolest<\/a>5: The Coolest Cooler<\/p>\n

Every other item on this list has a price displayed, but we don\u2019t know yet how much this cool cooler is going to cost (although it mentions an approximate retail price of $299).That\u2019s because it’s still running through Kickstarter<\/a>. But don\u2019t let its retro stylings fool you into thinking it\u2019s a gimmick: this really is the coolest cooler you\u2019ll ever see. It has everything: bottle opener, utensil stash spots, a cutting board, a knife, waterproof LED lights in the lid, a USB charger, a bluetooth speaker\u2026 you should probably just sell your house, basically.<\/p>\n
