These socks are said to be breathable and feature light cushioning across the bottom to maximize comfort on walks and hikes. They also have Indestructawool technology in key zones to help increase durability where it’s most needed, the brand says.
Whether you’re at the beach or sitting out at the park with the kids, you want to make sure you’re protected from the sun. This shirt has UPF 50+ sun protection, the brand says, and has a hood for extra coverage.
These pants were inspired by REI’s classic hiking pants, but have added stretch and a slimmer leg. According to the brand, they’re designed to repel water, dry fast and they can even be zipped into shorts when the temperatures heat up.
Don’t miss your chance to save on these comfortable shorts ahead of all those hot summer days. They feature an elastic waistband, UPF 50+-rated material and pockets, so they’re a great choice for lounging in the backyard, running errands and so much more.
Spring and summer can bring some unpredictable weather, but you’ll be ready for anything in this jacket. According to the brand, it’s windproof, waterproof and it even has zippers in the armpits that can be opened if you get too hot.
This insulated jacket was named the best cold weather outerwear during our 2026 Shop TODAY Travel Awards. “It is extremely lightweight, but still very warm!” one tester shared. “Coats or even zip-up jackets can take up a TON of room in a suitcase, but this jacket flattens out so easily! It can also pack into itself, which is really nice!”

Whether you’re going to the beach or to the grocery store, you’ll be ready to take on any adventure in these sandals. They feature a molded EVA midsole for comfort and have quick-dry webbing.
Hoka Rincon 4 Shoes
“I was a little hesitant to run with added height, however, the cushiony feel and the extra spring in my step seemed to help propel me forward rather than make me feel like I was going to lose balance,” one former Shop TODAY editor shared about Hoka’s Rincon sneakers. “These shoes are a great find for those who want to feel more cushion when they run, rather than feel like you’re dragging your feet.”
Senior social media editor Kate McCarthy has run and walked thousands of miles in Brooks’ Ghost sneakers and she has no plans of switching to another pair.
“Lacing up these sneakers before training runs or races, I never have to worry how my feet are going to interact with them, I always know they will be happy once my run or walk is over, no matter how far I plan on going that day — and when I say these shoes last, I mean it.”
Hurry! There are only a couple of colors of these popular Hoka sneakers on sale — and sizes are selling out. The Bondis are one of Hoka’s most cushioned shoes, and our editors love them for both walks and runs.

According to the brand, this cooler can keep 12 cans below 40 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 37 hours. Once you’re done, you can fold it down into a tote, cube or put it completely flat for easier storage and transport.
If you struggle to keep everything organized in your suitcase on trips, packing cubes can be a huge help. This set includes both a medium and a large cube with mesh panels on top so you can see what’s inside.
This bag is another Travel Awards winner, thanks to its roomy and durable design. The brand says the material is water repellent to help keep your belongings safe from any potential spills or storms.
If you and your partner love going on camping trips together, this sleeping bag is perfect for you. If cuddling up isn’t keeping you cozy enough, you can separate the hood into two for personal warmth. Or if it gets too warm for you, each section has its own zipper on the bottom for separate ventilation.
