Or maybe not. Perhaps this year you\u2019ve got plans to beat the heat, take a lengthy vacation, or just avoid the sun entirely. Whatever your plans are, with summer in full swing, we\u2019ve got a new list of super-gadgets to keep you looking and feeling cool this searing season.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/kodakpixpro.com\/Americas\/cameras\/activeCam\/sp1.php\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kodak PIXPRO SP1<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first on our list is for catching all those larger-than-life moments from not so large perspectives. This small water\/shock proof camera captures quality images at 14 million pixels and is ideal for action or stationary shots. It\u2019s one thing to take pictures from flat angles, but what about from the perspective of, say, a tiny crab? Or a fish? Whatever the case, you\u2019ll definitely remember your summer differently with this neat little camera.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.outdoortechnology.com\/Shop\/Turtle-Shell\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">Outdoor Tech Turtle Shell Bluetooth Speaker 2.0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just because you\u2019re getting closer to nature doesn\u2019t mean you have to abandon all tech. Maybe you\u2019ve got that perfect camping song saved on your phone, or maybe you want some friendly ambience. Whatever the case, this weather resistant speaker syncs to your mobile device as, you guessed it, a speaker. Great for music on the go.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/solsolhat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">Solar Hat iPhone Charger<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No matter where you go, one constant remains: The summer sun is hot. So, why not utilize the power of solar rays with SOLSOL\u2019s hat charger. Convenient for when you\u2019re on the go and made of cotton, it\u2019s a comfortable accessory that keeps your must-have tech powered up so long as the sun is out.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2oninjamask.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">H20 Ninja Snorkeling Mask<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now here\u2019s a way to conquer the vacation waters. The full-faced Ninja snorkel gives you a far better look under the depths with a clear protective mask and advanced snorkel system. Say so long to the days of accidentally swallowing a mouthful of salt water: The H20 not only provides an efficient airway but also allows no seepage of liquid when completely submerged. No more burning eyes and unpleasant coughs with this nifty gadget.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edleedesigns.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">edLee Bamboo Sunglasses<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the point of summer if you don\u2019t have eyes to see it? No, sunglasses aren\u2019t the most revolutionary of tech, but you\u2019d be hard pressed to not appreciate their value. These edLee designer shades are no exception, giving you stern protection from unforgiving rays while upping your style points.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbit.com\/flex\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fitbit Wireless Wristband<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last but certainly not least, keep that form in shape with a variety of useful info from the comfortable Fitbit wristband. Everything from sleep patterns to heartrate can be measured with this fit-savvy device, and whether you\u2019re out on vacation or using the summer for fitness, it\u2019s a no-lose grab.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty other neat pieces of tech cropping up this summer, but these were some of our favored picks.
