Outdoor camping gear can be a major factor in a camping adventure. Right gear is essential for a great camping trip. Here are some of our favorite items that will help you stay comfortable and enjoy every minute of your time in the great outdoors.
Sleeping Bag Liner
The lining on your sleeping bag will help you stay warm and cozy as you sleep. A lining made from a soft and lightweight material is ideal, especially if you're going to be using a heavy-duty bag like a down or synthetic bag. Patagonia's merino liner adds 15° of warmth to insulated bags, making it a must for winter campers.
Water Treatment Bottle
A insulated water bottle will keep your water cooler for longer, and help you to stay hydrated. Plus, it is a great place to store all your snacks and drinks.
Packtowl Towel
The camping towel is perfect for drying off after a rain or sweaty day. It is extremely lightweight, easy-to-use and packs very small.
Summer Camping Gear

Bivys provide a shelter option that is popular with many campers. They are great for keeping bugs at bay without sacrificing the view of the stars. A bivy should be large enough to cover both your sleeping bag and your pad. It can also be secured using a pole.
