It can be hard to find a cooler that is tough, portable, and versatile enough for all of your outdoor endeavors — whether you’re camping with friends or setting out on a day hike through the woods. The coolers designed to keep your beverages and food cold enough to last the day are usually too bulky for transport but Otterbox developed an ideal solution. The company’s new line of Trooper Soft Coolers is rugged, versatile, and offers quality insulation for food and beverages while on the go.

Otterbox implemented a soft-shell design, making the Trooper coolers light enough to carry with you to sporting events, camping trips, road trips, and overnight expeditions. Trooper keeps ice cold for 72 hours — longer than the average norm of comparable, portable products. The solid bottom frame provides protection where it’s needed most and a wide, open mouth makes for easy packability.

The Otterbox mounting system allows you to attach the accessories you need. Bonus feature? The cooler includes an OtterBox bottle opener.

The Trooper 30 is a bigger capacity version of the Trooper 20, allowing for the storage and transport of up to 30 liters of food and beverages. Tired of carrying your cooler on one shoulder? The Trooper 30 allows you to switch from shoulder to backpack carry with comfortable 2-inch wide padded carrying straps. The Trooper 30 has a few added features: Duraflex hardware including tiedown points and exterior pockets for extra storage.

Both coolers are built tough enough to withstand the roughest elements, boasting a durable TPU coated nylon exterior that is water, puncture, UV, and chemical resistant — ready to handle anything it might come into contact with. The coolers are also rated IP-65, which provides for assurance against rushing rapids and pounding waves, making for an ideal boat, kayak, or canoe companion. They are backed by Otterbox’s limited lifetime warranty.

Taking a roller-coaster ride right after a big lunch is always a brave move, with those endless twists and turns risking an unwelcome second look at your recently consumed meal.

Florida-based Carnival Cruise Line, however, clearly wants to push things to the limit, having built what it claims is the first-ever roller coaster on a cruise ship.

Bottle+ mounted on docking station on marble counter.

A new Kickstarter project promises to keep your water bubbly for longer, while also cutting plastic waste from your daily beverage routine. Bottle+ incorporates a refillable CO2 canister in its base that can produce roughly 15 bottles of carbonated goodness before needing a top-up at its home docking station. A press of the button lets you carbonate to your preference.

Beyond the purported long-term environmental benefits of owning a Bottle+, the Swiss designers are making pledges at the production end, too. They say packaging will be recyclable and kept to a minimum. Factories will also be monitored to meet environmental regulations and social equity standards. To top it all off, Bottle+ has partnered with Cleanhub to collect 1 kilogram of plastic waste for every bottle sold.

GoSun’s new portable power stations use the sun’s ray to charge devices
gosun new portable power stations gets you through outages power550 hero

GoSun's diverse lineup of solar-friendly products is expanding this week with two new portable power stations. The GoSun Power 550 and Power 1,100 are high-capacity batteries designed to help keep your appliances running when off the grid, whether that's due to an outage or being on a camping trip. Much like its other eco-friendly devices, these portable power stations can be charged using solar panels.

These portable power stations have plenty of power output options, including a 600-watt AC, a 1,000W AC, USB-A with QuickCharge 3.0, two 5V 2.4A USB-A plugs, a 60W USB-C plug, and a 12.3V DC. For charging, they use a 12-24V adapter, 18-24V input for solar, or 12V if you're charging it from the car.  Both AC outlets are pure sine wave, meaning your electronics get a more consistent feed of power. That's good news for your phones and laptops. It also has a Maximum Power Point Controller (MPPT) built-in, which helps to optimize the gain from solar panels. Other batteries lose a lot of efficiency on this front.
