Best portable speaker deal
Why we like it
Every outdoor adventure could use a portable Bluetooth speaker. Whether you prefer to jam out to classic rock ballads around the campfire or chill out with jazz in the morning, the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4 packs in mighty sound that comes with some major benefits when it comes to life outdoors. For starters, the speaker can get up to 20 hours of battery life before it needs a recharge, which can be great for long weekends at the cabin. The 147-foot range is also ideal for bringing sound to the party and it also had drop protection of up to about three feet.
It truly shines when it comes to being not only waterproof but floating. Ultimate Ears considers the Megaboom 4 to be "virtually indestructible," which feels worthy of bringing it along on summer's outdoor adventures. The speaker usually costs $199.99, but ahead of the Amazon Big Spring Sale the blue option is down to just $129.99.
Best camping deal
Why we like it
There's something so satisfying about charging with the power of the sun and reaping the benefits of free power. The Mpowered Luci Solar String Lights are the perfect campsite or backyard addition this summer with a solar-powered battery that can last for up to 20 hours. The 18-foot string usually sells for $54.95 but ahead of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, the strand it down to just $32.97 which works out to a 40% discount.
Since the Mpowered Luci lights can be used both indoors and out, they're designed with waterproof and weatherproof materials. The 18-foot strand features 20 lights that can display in four different light modes. The lights also serve as a power bank, so you can harness the solar-powered battery to recharge your devices via the USB port.
Best cooler deal
Why we like it
Hydration is key when it comes to warm spring and summer adventures spent outdoors which is why a solid cooler is always needed. Enter the RTIC Ultra-Tough Soft Cooler with storage capacity for up to 40 cans. The insulated bag is great for summer days spent at the lake or the pool or when packing along a picnic for the day. The leakproof design uses a waterproof zipper and RTIC mentions this cooler can keep foods chilled for up to two days with correct use. In part, that's thanks to the 1.5-inch thick insulation made with closed-cell foam.
