The Essentials: 10 Festival Season Must-Haves
Summer is here and with it comes the arrival of the much-anticipated festival season. Whether you’re headed to Hangout, Bonnaroo, Slossfest or any of the countless other festivals, stop by any Alabama Outdoors or shop online to grab your festival essentials. Check out our festival season must-haves below:
ENO
An ENO hammock is your go-to item for relaxation in between shows, and can even serve as an impromptu bed. Personalize and decorate your hangout space with Festy Flags, illuminate with battery powered Twilights Camp Lights, and light the way to your hammock with the Moonshine Lantern—it dims, changes color and even has a strobe setting to keep the party going all night.
CamelBak
Pack the CamelBak Mini M.U.L.E. for your next festival and you’ll have hands-free hydration all day long. You’ll never miss a beat with the Mini M.U.L.E. on your back.
Patagonia Atom Sling
The Atom Sling is the strong yet lightweight solution to carrying all of your festival essentials hands-free and with ease. The Atom Sling features a convenient zippered pocket on the shoulder strap to hold all your valuables, and a mesh shoulder strap and back panel will keep you cool in the summer heat.
GoPro
Capture the festival’s best moments with the Hero4 Black Edition Camera—the most advanced GoPro yet. Carry it around for quick photo-ops, or strap it to your other gear and capture the entire festival in video.
Chaco
Forget your flip flops and work on your Chaco tan with the best sandals for festival goers. Keep your feet cool and supported while you move with ease, and hook them onto your backpack when you want to go barefoot. With easily-adjustable no-fuss straps, Chaco sandals are the go-to festival shoe.
Sunglasses
Protect your eyes from the summer sun with the Costa Del Mar Howler 400G Sunglasses. For a more affordable but equally as functional option, check out the Suncloud Windsor Sunglasses. Keep your sunglasses in place with Chums sunglasses retainers.
UV Buff Headwear
Pack the UV Buff for stylish and sweat-proof UV protection. The UV Buff keeps you cool while fighting odors and protecting you from 95% of harmful rays.
Outdoor Tech Buckshot Speaker
Keep music going between sets with the portable, wireless, and Bluetooth speaker. The speaker’s rugged design makes it water-proof and drop damage resistant.
Beyond Coastal Natural SPF 30 Sunscreen and Ben’s 30% Deet Insect Pump Spray
Pack these along for all day protection that shields your skin from the sun’s rays, and keeps bugs away for hours on end.
