4] GSI Dutch Oven
www.gsioutdoors.com • $69.95
When space permits just one pot, we recommend a Dutch oven. GSI’s 10-inch cast aluminum version is rustproof, even-heating and a third the weight of tra- ditional cast iron. It easily fits in your back hatch with the rest of your kitchen kit nestled inside. The raised edge lid holds coals for oven-like cooking and baking in your campfire, but it’s also ideal for one-pot-wonders on the camp stove.
5] Watershed GoForth
www.drybags.com • $93
Worry-free waterproof protection has made Watershed ZipDry duffels much loved by paddling professionals. At 15 liters, the GoForth is perfectly sized for photography kits or guide’s purses—MacGyver-style lap bags for life on the water. New this year, the GoForth adds a removable waist belt for easier carrying.
6] P&H Code Zero Kayak Sail System
www.phseakayaks.com www.flatearthkayaksails.com • $449
Travel longer distances and expend less energy with a kayak sail. P&H Sea Kayaks has partnered with Australian manufacturer Flat Earth Kayak Sails to offer their Code Zero sail with a mast and mounting kit that fits most 15-foot- plus boats. Once installed, this ultralight sail can be folded flush on the deck for compact stowage, and deployed in seconds. Even better, it allows stable, hands- free and ridiculously fun sailing down-, across and even upwind. Quick-release mounting hardware is inconspicuous but does require some drilling.
7] Level Six Orion
www.levelsix.com • $649.99
Combining the comfort of a lightweight, breathable paddling jacket and pants with the immersion protection of a one-piece suit, the Orion is an affordable option for three-season touring. Featuring latex wrist and ankle gaskets and an adjustable neoprene neck closure, we especially like the peaked rollaway hood and stylishly functional pant pockets and vertical relief zipper.
8] Kokatat Full Zip Jacket
www.kokatat.com • $355
Slip this waterproof jacket on under your PFD for breathable, comfortable storm protection. The Gore-Tex Paclite fabric has a light, supple drape for free- dom of movement, spandex splash cuffs seal out drips and a drawstring hem keeps the jacket from riding up in the cockpit. Thoughtful design features like fleece-lined hand warmer pockets and a wide-billed storm hood make this our new go-to jacket at sea and at camp.
9] Bogs Urban Farmer
www.bogsfootwear.com • $90
When you’re out for back-to-back rain days, soggy feet can be a trip-killer. For dry and comfy dogs, slip on a pair of Bogs. Best known for their pull-on handle rain boots, this Pacific Northwest brand has an ever-expanding selection of tough, waterproof natural rubber footwear. With a moisture wicking, odor- fighting lining and sturdy slip-resistant sole, the mid-height Urban Farmers aren’t your average wellies.—Virginia Marshall
